Woman Linked to Spitzer Gets Advice Column
Source: NY Times

Ashley Alexandra Dupré, the former escort whose rendezvous with former Gov. Eliot Spitzer led to his resignation, has a new career: writing a weekly
advice column dealing with sex and relationships for the New York Post.

Ms. Dupré gained fame after public revelations of her rendezvous with Mr. Spitzer at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington on Feb. 13, 2008, led to his
sudden resignation as governor of New York.

But now, Ms. Dupré has settled into a new role, providing fodder for tabloids once again, but this time on their payroll.

The newspaper this weekend introduced Ms. Dupré as someone who has made mistakes and who is sharing what she has learned through the column,
“Ask Ashley.”

Ms. Dupre @ a fashion show ..... she is now "a star."

3. Can you imagine that a man who was breaking the banking crisis of the history
of this country was neutralized by a up and coming star... Of course this women was just as much a victim of the patriot less act as any of us. But I wonder why paying for sex is a crime, but destroying the whole country is not?

7. You'd probably get better answers from the people that Spitzer put in jail for prostitution...

I thought you needed an education for that.

6. Well, yeah...
After all, who better to give advice on a topic than someone who made premium rates selling a product that's easily available for free (especially to high-profile Governors of large states)? That's the miracle of Capitalism, I guess.

10. Incredibly (is *anything* incredible these days?!1) she's on The View talking about Tiger
She says she knows what it's like to be "hunted, humiliated, and stalked." That both Tiger and his women are finding out.

She, Sofia-Wisdom, says there are 4 kinds of men vis-a-vis screwing around, and that married dudes get "the aggression" gone (hotness of wife) "once the kids are here." HAH!1

12. should have stuck with what she was allegedly good at...
just for once, i'd like to see these instant celebs in tawdry scandals NOT try to cash in for every nickel they can...

the irony is with so many newspaper folks out of work, it would have been stupidly simple to hire a REAL credentialed sex/relationships columnist...

14. On the View
and being treated with respect. They asked her why she has now put herself out in the public eye. She answered that after this "happened" to her she had to go on with her life. She caused it to "happen". By saying it that way she puts herself in the role of victim. What a crock.
