King of All Pimps Says Ashley Worked for Him

MyFoxNY.com - Jason Itzler was once dubbed the "King of All Pimps" by the New York media for running the now defunct high-end call girl service, 'NY Confidential.'  It was at that time that he claims Ashley Alexandra Dupre-- the woman at the center of the Eliot Spitzer sex scandal- worked for him.

Itzler, speaking Friday on Good Day NY, said Dupre -- then 19 years old and known as "Victoria"-- worked for him.   Itzler said he met Dupre at the Gansevoort Hotel where she was a cocktail waitress.

"When I met her I thought she was a gorgeous young woman. I didn't want to hire her for NY Confidential. I wanted to date her," said Itzler.

"I gave her my card and a few days later she called me ... she wanted to work for me."

Itzler was asked if he thought he was exploiting Dupre particularly because she claims on her MySpace page that she left a broken, abusive home.

"First of all Ashley was not homeless or a runaway... we're talking about girls who are together, confident, dress beautifully, superstars."

Responding to a New York Times story that high-end call girls are subjected to abuse as much as women who walk the streets:

"Don't believe everything you read. I never got one complaint from a girl that they were mistreated. I never heard anything about what you're talking about."

Itzler heaped praise on Dupre during his interview on Fox 5's Good Day NY saying "she is going to be huge..."  He said she is  beautiful and will likely become a celebrity for her singing ability as well as her looks.
