In March 2008, Ashley Dupre hit the front page of the New York Post when she was named the escort girl to Gov. Eliot Spitzer (aka Client No. 9). The scandal led to the governor's resignation and a mea culpa from Dupre who said she would apologize to Spitzer's scorned wife, Silda, if she could, adding: "I'm sorry for your pain."
Dupre's own background is troubled. After growing up on the Jersey Shore, teen angst and a taxing relationship with her mother forced her to leave home at 17. A year later, she was in New York City, where she worked as a cocktail waitress in posh Manhattan clubs, which, she admits, is what led her to become an escort.
Because of her involvement in the scandal and her very public past, her aspirations for a music career were put to a halt because, as she says, no one took her seriously. As much as Ashley wishes she could take back the mistakes she's made, she understands that in the internet age, you can never erase your past. She draws on many of the lessons she's learned for her love, sex and relationship column "Ask Ashley," in The New York Post.
Ashley is contemplating going back to school to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker so she can help kids from making life altering decisions as she once did, but her immediate goal is to help New York Post readers with her no-nonsense style of advice.
Dear Readers: I won’t be giving any advice today. Instead, I want to tell you how much you’ve taught me. When I started this column over two-and-a-half years ago, I was unsure how it would be received. I had been... May 27, 2012
