You're Kidding Me, Right?

Call girl laments use of exotic photos
By COLLEEN LONG, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK - The lawyer for the call girl linked to the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer lashed out at the media on Friday for thrusting the 22-year-old woman into the "public glare" without her consent and publishing revealing photos.

Since her identity was disclosed, newspapers and Web sites have splashed photos of Ashley Alexandra Dupre in suggestive poses on front and inside pages. Dupre was known as "Kristen" in court documents accusing Spitzer of paying thousands for prostitutes' services.

Her attorney, Don D. Buchwald, said she did not consent to the use of her photos in this manner, and the usage may be a violation of federal copyright laws. He said the photos have appeared on commercial Web sites without her consent.

Buchwald stopped short of saying Dupre would sue media outlets, but he contended that she is not a public figure and said he would take "all steps that we deem necessary or appropriate to protect Ms. Dupre from any unwarranted exploitation of her name, picture, voice or likeness for purposes of profit."

Let me get this straight. This girl feels exploited? She feels that her privacy has been violated? First of all, she's a prostitute - a PAID WHORE. Secondly, the man she canoodled with is not just a local yokel politician but the Governor of Friggin' New York. What did she expect was going to happen if and when this ever became public? And third, she was raking in six figures for sucking off this guy and others.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for this woman and honor her by suppressing her identity and photos? Hell no, we're not. And we all know what will happen. Her attorney will complain now and continue to attempt to portray his client as a victim. But in 6 months, he'll be brokering a deal on her behalf with MTV for a reality show and a top publisher for a book deal. A whore is still a whore.
