Woman at the Center of Governor’s Downfall (Spitzer's Kristen identified, gives first testimony)
New York Times ^ | March 13, 2008 | SERGE F. KOVALESKI and IAN URBINA

Posted on 03/12/2008 3:06:08 PM PDT by gondramB

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.

Kristen, the high-priced prostitute described in a federal affidavit as having a Feb. 13 rendezvous with Mr. Spitzer at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington,has spent the last few days in her ninth-floor rental in an upscale apartment building in the Flatiron district. On Monday, she made a brief appearance in federal court as a witness in the case against four people charged with operating the prostitution ring, Emperor’s Club V.I.P. In a series of telephone interviews on Tuesday night, she said she had slept very little over the past week due to the stress from the case.

Thank you. It is true and I waited a long time for this.

Lighten up folks! I’ve woke up with lots worse than her and been happy to see ‘em. Of course I didn’t pay $3500 either (unless you count my first wife and she cost me a whole lot more than that.)

Maybe some of you need to spend a bit of time around real, honest-to-goodness(?) whores. Just like keyboard jockeys, they come in all sizes, shapes and temperments. Almost without exception though, they all start out as relatively nice girls who make a mistake with some SOB and lose their self-respect. From there it’s a short trip to the next bed and the next and the next.... If this one was “abused” as a child her self-respect was already pretty well shot so she had a real short trip from there.

Over the years I’ve known (not neccesarily in the Biblical sense) a number of hookers. Most of them would like to find some way to quit but like smokers and drinkers find when they try to change their ways, it’s a lot easier to talk about quitting than to do it.

Don’t forget her music. Someone is going to really “respect her for her musical talent”. We may have another “star” in the near future...a new “pop tart”.

Obviously guys like Spitzer have a whole different mentality. I could see doing Mrs Spitz, but Kristen just reminds me of my daughters and that’s just not OK.

That’s what $4,300 can get you at the Emperors Club.

$20 worth of beer will get you the same thing at a college bar.

Trust me. I got major brunette bias too. I do think she’s an attractive girl, but not model looks either. I’d give her a solid 8 in the looks department. In the brains department, I’d give her a -10 score.

I believe you are right on both counts.

Perhaps they deserve each other.

She may be a step up from Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Spears, Lohan, and the list goes on - don’t see how she could be worse.

Sorry guys, but I don’t think she’s pretty enough to warrant $5K+ a pop. For that amount of money, she should be drop dead gorgeous! IF I were a man, I wouldn’t “hit it.” Isn’t that what you guys say? LOL!

well even with all their insane faults at least they never accepted money from a governor for sex. as far as we know at least.....

i feel sorry for wives who would stick by a man after doing that. she has a degree she should leave him and find a better guy (even if he isnt as ‘rich’)

i only wish this sort of story broke about obama or hillary :D
