The New York Times has just found out the true identity of “Kristen,” the high-priced hooker  who was behind the resignation of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.  Ashley Alexandra Dupre has been named as the woman named in the Eliot Spitzer scandal. She was going under the name of “Kirsten” in the reports, however she is 22 year year old Ashley Alexandra Dupre.  

Ashley Alexandra Dupre  had a minor MySpace page setup with a single song and some pictures, as she tried to launch her career as an R&B / Soul singer…minor until today. Going by the username ninavenetta, Ashley Alexandra Dupre is now at the center of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, and has become an instant magnet for new media everywhere. Her images are being broadcast across every major cable news channel as we write this. Her MySpace page is currently one of the most visited. 

Excerpts from her MySpace bio:

When I was 17, I left home. It was my decision and I’ve never looked back. Left my hometown. Left a broken family. Left abuse. Left an older brother who had already split. Left and learned what it was like to have everything, and lose it, again and again. Learned what it was like to wake up one day and have the people you care about most gone. I have been alone. I have abused drugs. I have been broke and homeless. But, I survived, on my own. I am here, in NY because of my music.

As reported Eliot Spitzer hit this numerous times. Prostitution being illegal and all, he had to resign when he got busted. Makes sense.
