NEW YORK - The lawyer for the call girl linked to the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer lashed out at the media on Friday for thrusting the 22-year-old woman into the "public glare" without her consent and publishing revealing photos. ADVERTISEMENT
Since her identity was disclosed, newspapers and Web sites have splashed photos of Ashley Alexandra Dupre in suggestive poses on front and inside pages. Dupre was known as "Kristen" in court documents accusing Spitzer of paying thousands for prostitutes' services.
Her attorney, Don D. Buchwald, said she did not consent to the use of her photos in this manner, and the usage may be a violation of federal copyright laws. He said the photos have appeared on commercial Web sites without her consent.
Buchwald stopped short of saying Dupre would sue media outlets, but he contended that she is not a public figure and said he would take "all steps that we deem necessary or appropriate to protect Ms. Dupre from any unwarranted exploitation of her name, picture, voice or likeness for purposes of profit."

Not only is her music boring but she’s got a lot of nerve.
Every pic published for free is one less she can make a buck off of.
Exactly.
I heard something about the IRS is going to ream her. The ho’s 15 minutes are about up.
lol, she’s got as much class as monica lewinsky
bimbo eruptions.
the spitzer guy has his head up his bum and needs to step aside.
He did. becomes effective Monday.
Her pictures on Myspace were available for public viewing if you had a Myspace account. If she were so concerned about her “image” she could have set her pictures to viewed by “friends” only.
Good heavens, the lawyer sounds like he doesn't want this girl being exploited. Who knows, she might be driven to prostitution or something...
Besides, the law applies to "public" figures; she's "pubic".
Cheers!
Tough. um... luck, lady (and I use the term loosely).
As Oscar Wilde said, “the only thing worse than being talked about...
...is not being talked about.”
Hmmm...she WAS the one who posted her own bikini pic on her own webpage. THAT makes it public domain and fair game.
