While call girl "Kristen" is getting a lot of attention, the thoughts and feelings of Governor Spitzer's wife Silda Wall Spitzer are still the object of much curiosity. The Post spoke to a friend of hers who said Wall Spitzer is most upset about Ashley Alexandra Dupre's age (22).
According to the Post, "The fact that Dupre is only four years older than the Spitzers' eldest daughter, Elyssa, is not lost on Silda." Still, the friend says she is Spitzer's "rock," and the couple, who met at Harvard Law School, have been attending meetings with his lawyers. Another fascinating detail: A neighbor at 985 Fifth Avenue says, "Eliot is actually apologizing to any of the people he sees in the building." Another says Wall Spitzer has not been in hiding, rather she's seen "holding her head up high."
The NY Times had reported Wall Spitzer answered her cellphone on Tuesday "with extreme politeness" to a reporter's call and said ,"I really don't have anything to say." But friends who emailed her to offer support were surprised to get responses, which were "generous and loving."
Wall Spitzer has also been questioned and criticized for standing beside her husband during his press conferences, though a Boston University professor explains the stand-by-your-man moment might be "one last spousal duty" in the political marriage. Author Susan Shapiro Barash writes in the Daily News today, "Everyone has an opinion and everybody - except Silda - seems to feel the need to unload. We feel qualified to express our opinions because we have so much access to so much information. We forget we're outsiders who are projecting our experiences onto the predicament of a stranger."
I, too, am upset by kristinn’s age.
The while thing has taken on a suspicious tone. The 22 year old’s story is probably closest to the truth.
Silda looks like a cross between Greta van Susteran and Jennifer Anniston.
She obviously has a pre-nup and knows his family money will not be hers in the event of divorce.
She’s hanging on tighter than John Kerry to a drunken heiress.
I am upset by Kristen’s age also, if it gets me in the good graces of Silda. I hear she’s coming into a bit of money.
“and the couple, who met at Harvard Law School”
I thought they met skiing? I would care about the age it is disgusting either way. IT is just another window into the tool of a husband soul that he is attracted to little girls. Close to 50s I don’t find anyone under about 33-35 attractive. Call me crazy young girls might me okay to look at in passing, but they have no substance or experience.
Spitzer has caused my opinion of prostitutes to slide a bit.
“Kristen” says she’s been “dating” #9 for 4 1/2 years.
She’s 22.
Do the math.
She’s better looking than the whore IMO.
Too old for you?:-)
Boston U professors...is there anything they don't know? I know that's the first place I go for familial questions.
Just like Shakespeare suggested: the most important thing about a woman is her wealth.
I see the Greta but Jenifer Aniston is a strech.
The pre-nup probably has a clause for infidelity, but the payout now, even if it is a percentage of net worth, is likely peanuts to what it would be once Spitzer inherits his dad’s wealth.
She’ll certainly hold on until then, unless the prenup specifies the divorce must occur within a specific amount of time from the disclosure of the infidelity.
Silda is not a bad looking woman, on the other hand Spitzer looks like the Joker from Batman. She can do much better! Get out thier girl and find yourself a real man!
The rules vary from community to community. 13-21 is the range. I do not know why or how I know this.
I too am upset at Kristens age. I didn’t realize four years ago when I left her that her life would follow this path.
