Meet “Kristen”; Update: $100,000 for her story?

My favorite liberal’s been haranguing me over e-mail about how prostitution is rarely a choice in any meaningful sense and why we need to crack down to keep more wayward girls from broken homes from wandering into “careers” they don’t really want. KP 1, AP 0?

She left a broken home on the Jersey Shore at 17 and came to New York City to work the nightclubs as a rhythm and blues singer. Now, at 22, she is the unwitting, and as yet unseen, star of the seamy drama that is the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York…

“I just don’t want to be thought of as a monster,” the woman said as she told the tiniest tidbits of her story. Born Ashley Youmans but now known as Ashley Alexandra Dupre, she spoke softly and with good humor as she added with significant understatement: “This has been a very difficult time. It is complicated.”…

Ms. Dupre said on by telephone Tuesday night that she was worried about how she would pay her rent since the man she was living with “walked out on me” after she discovered he had fathered two children. She said she was considering working at a friend’s restaurant or, once her apartment lease expires, moving back in with her family in New Jersey “to relax.”…

She left “a broken family” at age 17, having been abused, according to the MySpace page, and has used drugs, “been broke and homeless.”

She’ll be able to re-up with that lease once the Enquirer comes calling. Here’s her MySpace page, which is linked directly by the Times. Exit question equal time: The Today Show took a decidedly more libertarian view of high-priced call girls this morning.

The story is worth a lot more than that.

Kristen should not sell herself story so cheap.

Lets lay out some truths here. Ms Dupree likely pulls in $8k per month as a minimum. Figure of the $2600 that Eliot paid...$300 went to the room and at least $800 to the pimp management....so she got her $1500. Figure the taxi and train ride...and she collected $1300 off this trick. My best guess....she does around six to eight of these per month. She probably reports an income of $25k a year to IRS....but thats simply a joke...and IRS will be coming around later to ask about all her money.

As for what she does now? If you all remember our favorite “trick”...Anne Nicole Smith...who was pulling in a dozen odd tricks per month and covering her expensive lifestyle while waiting on the lawsuit to end with her millions to pour in from “daddy”....there is a open market for glamor gals like this and a name. Ms Dupree is going to get a manager and likely find at least 250 guys....of substance or pretended wealth....who want her for a evening and are willing to pay $15k to $20k for it. She will have a significant account by age 30....if she hires the right manager who doesn’t steal half.

No one should have pity for the gal. Her future is pretty set if she doesn’t screw it up.

All true. But people are blaming her for “ruining Eliot Spitzer’s life and career.” He did that himself.

I wouldn't look at Monica nekkid for a cool mil.

I would, just think $1,000,000 - $100,000 for the trauma therapy and you still net $900,000

I think she should be in the witness protection program.

I have a spare bedroom where they can hid her. I'll only charge $5000 for the rent.

I'll go shut up now. :o))

Maybe because to many of us prostitution (non-coerced, as in this case) is akin to jaywalking.

Great. So she'll have money, but she won't be able to attract any decent guy, and she'll probably wind up living her life alone.

due to inflation.

The inflation was all on Monica's side, not Kristin. Just gotta look at the pictures to see that.

“Monica Lewinski was offered a cool mill (or was it more) to pose nekkid. Kristen will get even better offers, due to inflation.”

I, for one, wouldn’t WANT to see “Monica Lewinski” -— even if you PAID ME “a cool mil” — as you say, “nekkid”.

Now Kristen is a different matter: I’ll admit, I’d look.

She rid New York state of a cancer. Whatever her past sins, she’s redeemed herself.

$100,000? That’s like 20 one hour clients for her right? And she’ll have to pay taxes on the $100k, so is it really even worth her time? I’m thinking that she’ll have to spend more than 20 hours with the reporter, so you do the math.

She left “a broken family” at age 17, having been abused, according to the MySpace page, and has used drugs, “been broke and homeless.”

Very, very sad, yet totally predicted. These girls have one-in-a-million looks, but almost always were the victims of sexual abuse as children and from broken homes. The later drug use attempts to anesthetize the past and medicate the current situation.

“moving back in with her family in New Jersey “to relax.”…”

“She left “a broken family” at age 17, having been abused,”

So, it looks like her family is fixed!

She’s a prime witness in a federal case. I think she should be in the witness protection program. Spitzer is a mean dude, and he has connections.


Not only does Spitzer have connections, but if the Club itself has mafia ties (which has been rumored), she may bring them down with her testimony. She'd have a lot more to worry about with the mob than from Spitzer.
