Spitzer’s Hooker To Silda: “I’m Sorry For Your Pain”

Posted by: Joseph Spector - Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 19, 2008

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s call girl, Ashley Dupre, is opening up to the press this week, in an interview Friday on 20/20 with Diane Sawyer and in People magazine.

The New York Post had some excerpts today.

Asked what she might tell Spitzer’s wife, Silda, Dupre said “I’m sorry for your pain.”

“I try not to revisit that place too often, but when I think about his speech, I think of her face, her eyes, the hurt,” the Post quotes the People magazine article.

People has its own excerpts here.

“Everyone knows me as ‘that girl,’ but I’m not just ‘that girl,’” the 23-year-old says in People. “I have a lot of depth, a lot of layers.”

Dupre claims she didn’t know the man she was with was Spitzer on that Feb. 13 night—the day before Valentine’s Day—at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C.

A month later, Spitzer resigned when he named in a federal investigation of the prostitution ring, the Emperor’s Club, as Client 9.

She said Spitzer, who used the alias George Fox, was “polite.”

“Some guys, they want to have conversations and really get to know each other. With him, it clearly was not like that,” she told People. “It was more of a transaction. Strictly business.”

She said Spitzer had no entourage with him, so she didn’t view him as someone important. State police have since done a review of its policies after Spitzer was able to dodge his police detail, yet they haven’t made those results public.

“I was there for a purpose – not to wonder who [he] could be,” Dupre said.

She’s now living with her mother and stepfather in New Jersey, People said.

“I’m 23 years old,” she said. “I want to do music, to do fashion, to write books – there’s so many things.”

As for being a call girl again, “No” she said. “Never again.”

    WHY O WHY IS THIS GARBAGE NEWSWORTHY..GIVE ME A BREAK!

    “I’m 23, I want to write books…” What a deluded wacko. Symptomatic of the generation of ordinary children who have been brought up being told how “brilliant” they are, how they are “special,” and how they can be “anything they want to be.” Many of them aspire to politics which is why we, as a nation and State, are in the shape we are in. Others aspire to be Ernest Hemingway, albeit with no serious work ethic and no discernable talent other than an enlarged, well-fed ego.

    Consultant, homes: here’s why it’s newsworthy.

    The poor hooker (“I have a lot of depth, and layers”) is emblematic of a generation of shallow humans who affect our nation, whether in prison, or not.

    Her “john” was a spoiled rich guy who achieved the highest office in New York while deceiving his constituents. That unindicted “john” hurt a lot of people in his role as power-mongerer while he was governor. Owing to his family riches, the deposed governor has both well-paid counsel AND a “crisis management firm” working in his behalf.

    Thank you, papa Spitzer.

    So. . .my favorite interviewer, Baba Wawa, will hopefully gleen something from this time with the sad shallow hooker tomorrow night.

    And this may shed some light on the immediate past governor, who betrayed New York State.

  4. the consultant

    that would be “sad sallow hooka” wouldn’t it tim

  5. Jiminy Cricket

    “There are eight million stories in the Naked City. This has been one of them.”

    She wants to write books? She probably can’t even read comic books without help. She also thinks she can be the next singing sensation. With the way today’s talent-barren music biz operates, that one may be possible.

  6. Tim Hays

    Ah! consultant and Jiminy! I could get her a book deal in the morning. There are plenty of folks out there in our land who love the prurient.

    It wouldn’t be quite like Steve Dunleavy’s collaboration with Xaviera Hollander in “The Happy Hooker,” but it would be profitable.

    Oh, I miss Judith Regan. We would have had a deal by now.

    I want to know about the socks, though.

    “I’m 23 years old,” she said. “I want to do music, to do fashion, to write books – there’s so many things.”

    Ah Jiminy,

    She didn’t say she wanted to sing-she said she wanted “to do” music and “to do” fashion, which a former call girl would probably do for free if the right people asked ;o)

    So if that happens, then I’m certain the Tim Hays/Ashley Dupre book deal would be golden.

  8. smartporpoise

    Speaking of Judith Regan, what ever happened to Rudy’s old pal, Kerik? BTW, few would buy anything by Dupre unless she named some interesting names. And, if she has names and she got a book deal, the minute she was assigned a ghost writer, before she spoke her first words into a recorder, she’d no doubt become overdosed. See ya.

  9. Jiminy Cricket

    If the bring that old commercial back, she could do it…”Things go better with coke.”

    Sick in the head… Crazy in bed…
    You get what you pay for.

    In the midst of all the financial mess, mass layoffs, and other turmoils going on right now, it was announced that Barney Frank will open hearings looking into who turned-in this goof, Spitzer. They suspect someone ratted on him because he wasn’t liked, and it could turn out to be a Republican! This is how our dollars are spent. The County Board members are amateurs, but they’re attentive students of the bigger, fatter birdbrains in D.C.
