NEW YORK (WPIX)—
Ashley Dupre - the call girl at the center of the sex scandal that brought down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer - is lashing out at her critics in a new blog posted on Global Grind.In the post, the high priced escort writes that she's happy Spitzer, who is taking on the role of adjunct professor at City College in the fall, is moving on with his life but said it's unfair that she is unable to do the same because she's constantly being judged. Dupre said when it all comes down to it she's just like every other woman in the Big Apple.
"Let me say this - most girls, to varying degrees, of course, want to be pampered and have nice shoes, designer handbags and gorgeous clothes," Dupre writes. "I know many women who target guys with money and use them to get these things. They toy with them, flirt, go on dates, have sex and then drop hints about that new dress at the store down the street or being short on rent money - and the guys deliver it. This is a dishonest relationship. I see this all over New York City."
In addition, the struggling singer refutes rumors that claim she has done all she can to cash in on the scandal.
"People think I made money off music that was exploited when the scandal first broke, that I am doing reality television, and that I made millions posing nude for magazines. The truth is none of those things happened. This situation closed far more doors than it ever opened," said Dupre.
In the blog, Dupre also talks about being called "the woman who brought down the Governor," saying: "I didn't call the tabloids, I didn't blow the whistle and I didn't save "the dress." I did nothing to shine a light on my indiscretions or to "out" anyone else."
Dupre began blogging for Global Grind after becoming buddy-buddy with music mogul and fashion designer Russell Simmons, who helped create the site. Dupre reportedly considers Simmons a "mentor."
Spitzer made headlines earlier in the week, with sources speculating he's mulling over a return to the world of politics. Since the scandal broke, he has remained out of the public eye, only doing interviews regarding the financial crisis.
