Ashley Dupre was thrust into the media spotlight earlier this year when she was named as the high class hooker frequented by then New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. News of the Governors involvement with Dupre who was known by the name Kristen, forced Spizter to resign in disgrace. The scandal came about after an FBI investigation into the New York Emperors Club, the now defunct high class call girl agency Ashley Dupre worked for.
Abbreviated transcript of Ashley Dupre interview with People Magazine to co-inside with TV interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC:
Who is Ashley Dupre?
"I am a normal girl...Everyone knows me as 'that girl,' but I'm not just 'that girl,' " the 23-year-old former escort says in the new issue of PEOPLE "I have a lot of depth, a lot of layers."
On her time in the media spotlight:
"(It) has been really hard...but I'm a survivor."
On her time with Spitzer as a client:
"Some guys, they want to have conversations and really get to know each other. With him, it clearly was not like that. It was more of a transaction. Strictly business."
"It was surreal," Dupré says of seeing the client she had met a month before. "I felt like I was sinking...I think he's been punished enough."
Asked what she might tell his wife, Silda, who stood at Spitzer's side when he announced his resignation, Dupré offers:
"I'm sorry for your pain...This wasn't any different than going on a date with someone you barely knew and hooking up with them," she reasoned. "The only difference is I can pay my rent."
Ashley on the family impact of the sudden spotlight:
"It was extremely painful...my mother wasn't angry. She was supportive."
Ashley Dupre's future:
"I'm 23 years old...I want to do music, to do fashion, to write books – there's so many things."
Would she ever be a prostitue again?:
"No," she says. "Never again."
