THE GAL WHO LAID GOV LOW

dupre new post york

March 13, 2008 — The woman for whom Gov. Spitzer tossed away his political career, reputation and, perhaps, his family finally has a face.
Ashley Alexandra Dupre, a 22-year-old aspiring singer from the Jersey Shore, is the high-priced hooker at the heart of the sordid, sex-filled drama. Her name was revealed on the same day Spitzer resigned from office.
Until now, she has been publicly known only as "Kristen" - a woman the love gov ordered from the skin peddlers at Emperors Club VIP for a tryst at a Washington hotel on Feb.13.
But a relative said Dupre - born Ashley Youmans and raised in Belmar, NJ - and Kristen are one and the same.
"I love her. I am by her side. I found out from her," her brother, Kyle Youmans, told The Post. "The family is supporting her. She is fine."
He referred all other questions to his sister's lawyer, Don Buchwald, who would not confirm his client's involvement in the scandal.
Dupre earlier told The New York Times - which said she has been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury - that the stress of being at the heart of the scandal was wearing on her.
"I just don't want to be thought of as a monster," she said. "This has been a very difficult time. It is complicated."

    People just don’t want to talk honestly about their emotions these days. I don’t know if it’s just in the States, but I know that here we’re definitely conditioned to avoid letting ourselves be vulnerable that way.

    Yeah, all I know is that sharing it with others helps. I just wanted a record of this somewhere, so it wouldn’t die when my feelings passed. I don’t know what makes people want to declare their emotions, but I know better than to resist it.Time is the only remedy for longing, though I find boxing helps tremendously. It’s hard to worry about girls when you’re getting punched in the face. I’ll be deciding whether to fight competitively in the coming years, and I have the feeling that this experience will strongly influence the outcome.I always thought the myth of the phoenix was short-sighted. Getting up from a single knockdown is expected of all boxers at some point. Knowing that there are more coming is the real display of heart. Any realistic boxer expects to kiss the canvas often throughout his career.

    Totally understand your dilemma. The good side for my case, though, was that I learned lisp on the first pregnancy of my wife and python on the second. Priceless…

    Not to make light of your situation, but as I read this all I could hear in the back of my head was “I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE ISSSSSSS. I WANT YOU TO SHOW MEEEEEEEEE.”

    I got to watch others do it, then left the room to cuddle up to the booze.

    You CAN stop loving someone… just marry them.

    Hey, I did that! Except I wasn’t 15 years older than she was and she said sure. Go figure.

    That’s so 2007.

    I didn’t get laid on New Year’s even though I have a girlfriend. We were both over at her mother’s house New Year’s eve. My girlfriend lost her father recently after a 12 year fight with cancer. Her mother is getting used to the idea of life and the holidays without her husband, so we went over to make sure her mother had company.There are lots of things more important than getting laid. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you get to stop worrying about it!

    I got propositioned, does that count?
