Alix Earle’s stepmom owns ‘reckless’ past, from Spitzer escort scandal to affair with influencer’s dad

Ashley Dupré isn’t running from her "reckless" past anymore.

Alix Earle’s stepmother opened up about the choices that once made her tabloid fodder, including her connection to the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal and her affair with the influencer’s married father.

Alix, 25, shot to fame on TikTok and has built a massive following by sharing her life online – including, at times, the complicated family history that played out in the tabloids when she was a child.

Ashley was thrust into the national spotlight in 2008 when she was identified as an escort connected to then-New York Gov.

Eliot Spitzer in the prostitution scandal that preceded his resignation.

"At 19, while working as a cocktail waitress, a man approached me and told me I could make $1,000 an hour going on dates with high-profile men," she wrote in an essay for Elle .

"My first answer was no, but I kept his card.

Eventually, I made the call.

I could spend paragraphs explaining why.

I was young.

I wanted money and independence.

I’d spent years operating in survival mode and had become very good at compartmentalizing.

But ultimately, I made the call.

It was my decision." ALIX EARLE SPOTTED DANCING WITH TOM BRADY IN ST.
