Ashley Found in Girls Gone Wild Video Vault

Originally posted 03/18/2008 08:40PM

Before she allegedly got a call from New York's governor, Ashley Dupré had gone wild.

In the video vaults of Girls Gone Wild is footage of an 18-year-old Dupré cavorting naked on the GGW bus and doing scenes with another woman in 2003, the video company announced Tuesday.

GGW found the footage – seven full tapes worth – after the company's CEO Joe Francis offered $1 million to Dupré to appear in one of his videos – an offer he promptly withdrew.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre's Family Heartbreak

Originally posted 03/16/2008 04:30PM

Before she was known as "Kristen", the woman at the center of the prostitution scandal that forced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's resignation, 22-year-old Ashley Alexandra Dupré was simply Ashley Youmans, a small town girl from the New Jersey shore who yearned for her father and struggled with her family's split.

After her parents, William Youmans and Carolyn Capalbo, broke up, Ashley "used to cry about that and say how much she missed him," childhood friend Erica Kane tells PEOPLE. Adding to the heartache was her older brother Kyle, 26, who was incarcerated after a 2000 drug arrest, according to the Asbury Park Press. (More recently, on Monday, Kyle pleaded guilty to heroin charges and is expected to be sentenced to probation on April 14, according the newspaper.)

But after her mother married oral surgeon Michael DiPietro, Ashley, who was in elementary school at the time, would say even more so "how much she missed her dad. She always used to talk about that," says Kane.

Sex Scandal: 'Kristen''s Music Video Past

Originally posted 03/14/2008 08:30AM

Ashley Alexandra Dupré – a.k.a 'Kristen,' the alleged high-priced call girl who brought down New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer – once appeared in a video by the rapper Mysterious.

In the clip, the 22-year-old is seen leaning against various cars and putting a bulletproof vest on one of the video's stars. (The clip, which features graphic language, can be seen on MySpace.)

"She was very professional," the video's director, Jonathan Ehlers, told Los Angeles TV station KCAL, the Associated Press reports. "Again, she was really warm. She had a great vibe and she was really fun to be around."

When he heard about the prostitution scandal, Ehlers added, "I was shocked. All I could think was, I wondered where she was and I hoped she was all right."
