Be prepared to learn more than you ever wanted to know about one Ashley Alexandra Dupre.

She’s 22. Lives in New York City, where she is an aspiring musician. She’s a Jersey girl, originally from Jackson Township.

Oh, and her company is apparently worth $4,300.

Yes, Ashley Alexandra Dupre is “Kristen,” the high-priced call girl who toppled the political career of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. He resigned his post two days after his name was linked to an escort service known as Emperors Club VIP.

“Kristen” is the woman whose services he paid $4,300 for, which got him an evening of sex at a Washington, D.C., hotel.

“I just don’t want to be thought of as a monster,” Dupre told the New York Times. “This has been a very difficult time. It’s complicated.”

I don’t think she’s a monster. But then, I’ve never charged anyone $4,300 for my, ahem, “services.”

I will reserve judgment on Dupre. I don’t know her, don’t know anything about the circumstances she found herself in.

I will have a lot more respect for her if I don’t see her show up on every celebrity TV show, while fielding offers from every publication from People to Playboy for her story.

Then again, it obviously would not be the first time she was paid for her talents.
I do know this. She’s a couple years older than Spitzer’s eldest daughter.

Which makes me dislike him even more.
