Dupre Stripped
"Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis was ready to offer Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the call girl linked to Eliot Spitzer, $1 million to appear in a non-nude feature for his magazine, but pulled the offer once he found archived videos of her. It turns out the call girl linked to Eliot Spitzer had already shed her clothes for "Girls Gone Wild" as an 18-year-old while partying in Miami, the video company's founder Joe Francis said. Dupre was celebrating her 18th birthday in Miami when she was filmed. Francis had tried to contact Dupre with an offer of $1 million to appear in a non-nude spread for his company's new magazine, plus a chance to join the "Girls Gone Wild" tour bus, a company spokesperson announced. But Francis said someone had a revelation at a staff meeting: "Did anyone think to check the archives?" They did, he said and "there she was.""It'll save me a million bucks," Francis said. "It's kind of like finding a winning lottery ticket in the cushions of your couch." Francis said at that point, his offer was off the table. "We actually had been dealing with her rep," he said. "Our offer was the real deal. We just never made the connection." According to a "Girls Gone Wild" press release, Dupre visited Miami in 2003 to celebrate her 18th birthday. After fighting with a friend and getting thrown out of her hotel, Dupre found a nearby "Girls Gone Wild" bus, the company said.She signed legal papers and spent a full week on the bus, filming seven full-length tapes which included nudity and same-sex encounters, according to the company."I personally ended up buying her a Greyhound bus ticket back home to North Carolina," Francis said. Dupre's public profile has skyrocketed since former New York Gov. Spitzer resigned earlier amid the prostitution scandal. He was accused of spending tens of thousands of dollars on prostitutes, including a February tryst with a call girl named "Kristen," since identified as Dupre.
