Russell Simmons Mentoring Call Girl Ashley Dupre:
Posted on 12. Mar, 2009 by CSS.
Ashley Dupre, the high-priced call girl at the center of the scandal that brought down disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, says she draws “inner strength” from her ongoing yoga sessions with hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.
In a personal statement posted Russ’ GlobalGrind.com on Wednesday, Ashley says the last year has served as “a period of awakening.”
“Russell was there, reaching out to give me hand placement tips and educate me about the virtues of yoga that he’s discovered throughout the years. He explained the importance of understanding that our actions sometimes have far reaching consequences — a lesson that certainly resonated with me.”
“I’ve gained a perspective on life that I probably never would have been able to achieve if not for all of the heartache. In great part, discovering my identity came through the quiet reflection I enjoyed while practicing yoga, and the inner strength I’ve developed attracts powerful things,” the 23-year-old writes.
In his own blog on Dupre, entitled “Meeting Miss Ashley,” Russell says he was impressed that the brunette bombshell hadn’t used her notoriety to earn a little cash. “She told me that she hadn’t taken a nickel since the scandal broke and the reason was because every deal that had come in front of her involved further destroying her spirit.”

Former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer Will Face No Criminal Charges.
Posted on 07. Nov, 2008 by CSS.
Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer lost his job due to his dalliance with a high-price prostitution ring, but it looks like he won’t be losing his freedom. Spitzer will not face any criminal charges for his soliciting activities, and prosecutors in the case say they could find no evidence of misuse of state funds to bankroll his love of hookers.
Former New York governor Eliot L. Spitzer will not face criminal charges for his role in a
prostitution scandal that drove him from office this year, prosecutors announced yesterday.
Investigators for the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service uncovered no evidence that Spitzer had misused public or campaign money to pay women employed by the Emperors Club VIP, a high-priced New York prostitution ring.
Justice Department guidelines disfavor indictments against clients of prostitution rings, even those who transport women across state lines to have sex in violation of the Mann Act. Spitzer acknowledged making payments to the service, which amounted to “acceptance of responsibility for his conduct,” said Michael J. Garcia, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
“We have concluded that the public interest would not be further advanced by filing criminal charges in this matter,” he said in a statement issued yesterday.
