Ashley Dupre, Alix Earles Stepmoms Governor Spitzers Scandal

Ashley Dupré has made headlines in the past with her involvement in the scandal that saw former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer step down from office. 

In 2008, the media revealed that Dupré, at just 23 years old, had been working for the Emperor’s Club V.I.P., a high-end escort service, under their alias ‘Kristen.’ 

Now 37 years old, she is making news again as the stepmom to Tiktok ‘It girl’ Alix Earle. This starkly contrasts one of her darkest days in the limelight.

The service arranged a meeting between her and former Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. 

The story broke, and Spitzer’s link to a pr*stitution ring that was being led out of the escort agency caused high media scrutiny. 

Spitzer eventually resigned from office, and the scandal ended his political career and led to his divorce from his wife, Silda.

In an interview with Diana Sawyer, Dupré claimed that she didn’t feel responsible for Spitzer’s downfall, saying, “If it wasn’t me, it would have been someone else. I was doing my job. I don’t feel that I brought him down.” 

Overnight, Ashley’s name and face were all over the news. She received multiple offers for reality shows and even a $1 million offer to pose for Hustler Magazine. 

However, she turned them all down, stating that she wanted to pursue her dream of becoming a singer and maintaining her identity.

Despite not pursuing a music career, Ashley remained in the public eye, appearing on talk shows and even an early 2000s spin-off of MTV’s The Hills called Kell on Earth. 

Dupré later eloped with Alix Earle’s father, Thomas, in a private ceremony in Paris in 2013. 

Reports surfaced online that Thomas had cheated on his then-wife, Alisa, Earle’s mother, with Dupré in 2008. 

The couple now has three children: Izabel, Penelope, and Thomas James II.

Who is Ashley Dupre?

When Ashley was 19, she moved from New Jersey to New York City with dreams of becoming a singer. 

While working three jobs as a waitress, she was approached by the owner of Emperor’s Club V.I.P., a luxury escort service. They offered her a job and gave her a business card. Ashley worked on and off for the agency named “Kristen.”

She also did some modeling and started an advice column for the New York Post called “Ask Ashley.”

Earle has built her own successful career in the world of social media.

Alix Earle, now 22 years old and a student at the University of Miami, has become TikTok’s resident “it girl.” 

She has over 2.3 million followers on Instagram, and her popularity is due to her “relatable content,” including makeup tutorials and chats about college life. 

Her “get ready with me” makeup tutorial videos have helped her gain 4.6 million followers on Tiktok.

She skyrocketed to social media stardom by sharing her beauty routine, which caught the eye of Gen Zers eager to emulate her white eyeliner, South Florida tan, and shimmering highlight.

Although Earle’s followers regularly buy the products she spotlights on TikTok, she is honest about all aspects of her beauty upkeep, including getting breast implants and lip fillers and using Accutane.
