The New York Times has revealed the
real name of "Kristen" the call girl for no
other reason than that they could. She is Ashley Dupre of New York City, an aspiring
singer clearly paying the bills with her "day" job. Everyone she ever knew now
knows what she's been up to.
The prostitute that brought down the New York governor
The governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, announced yesterday that he would resign from office after the press discovered his past dealings with a prostitute. The New York Times traced the prostitute and went on to publish details from her MySpace page. A few hours later, the call girl, Ashley Alexandra Dupré, was a freshly made web icon.
The 22-year-old's MySpace page has already been viewed more than four million times (doubling within the space of a few hours) and web-users are digging up anything they can find about the New Yorker. One of her former classmates has already set up a Facebook group with an alleged photo of her as a teenager. No rock has been left unturned. But are these actions condemnable? Born Ashley Youmans in New Jersey, the home-runaway told the New York Times that "this has been a very difficult time" and that she didn't want seen as " monster". But the sex-worker has not turned away from the hounding press and public. She could have easily closed her MySpace account and deleted the photos published on the site. But she didn't. And neither did she delete her song, "What We Want".

Should they have published the prostitute's name?

Its pretty useless chastising the New York Times for being a sleazy rag. I'm sure its all perfectly legal, but what compelling public interest is there in knowing her name? We are most definitely in National Enquirer territory now--prurient interest.
Just because a woman choses the oldest profession, doesn't mean she wants everyone knowing about it--her mother, father, siblings, cousins, aunts, high school friends, etc...
Miss Dupre is an attractive woman, if not a particularly beautiful one. Aside from her youth, the motivation for Spitzer to throw away his entire life is not obvious. Considering how being a porn actress is now considered an asset for a show biz career, perhaps once she gets over the shock of this invasion of her privacy, Miss Dupre might leverage the attention she'll undoubtedly be getting, into significant opportunities--clearly she needs to find a new line of work.
What is almost certain is that the media will now visit the agonies of hell onto the Spitzer family by attempting to extract every sordid detail of her relationship with Eliot Spitzer. Hey, there's money to be made here..."

She's trying to make money
She's trying to make money out of this story. As if she had to be proud of what she did. It's so revealing about the american culture, where porn stars and bimbos became models for young people. Shame on her and on the society that glorify this kind of woman.

Ashley Dupre
Was Ms. Dupre' forced to meet the Govenor, was there a strongarm pimp involved. Sounds like a business arrangement between consenting adults.
Shame Emperolist U.S.Of America.
Shame on a society is right.And the society behind yet another scandal of this nature is U.S.A.This is the story over and over in this miserably corrupt society.I've always known the reason behind all the unrealistic laws that just wasn't enough punishment for the harm it does mostly to the children that are abused,by these male nymphomaniacs was based on the ones passing these weak laws were male nymphomaniacs themselves.It's all out there in the open.These people in this American government will not pass stiffer laws on such behavior because they are themselves involved. Look at the emperor, great super power of guns and bullets, and bombs. Untoucable mighty America,yes you. Take a bow!
