Ashley Rae Maika DiPietro (born as Youmans on the last day on April 25 years ago) is more popular as Ashley Alexandra Dupre. Her popularity rose as thanks to her involvement in sex industry.
Coming from NJ, she went to NY where she currently lives. Doing odd jobs in cafes and restaurants got her into the escorting world as one of the girls of the night. She's been in this "business" for almost 5 years when the hell broke loose due to a Eliot Spitzer media expose. Even though, it was a publicity she didn't want, naked pictures of her came on the internet and this prompted Hustler, Penthouse and Vivid Entertainment to offer her lurid contracts. But the exposure didn't stop there, with more sex stuff to follow as well as frequent visits to courtrooms to be a witness.
American public didn't exactly like her and she was in talk shows to talk about her experience as a whore, including the one with Diane Sawyer. Giving her that much exposure in the public life, got her to release a demo album but producers are willing to see if she's really popular before offering her a stable contract. Some critics weren't really impressed with her vocal qualities to give her the time of the day.
She is currently working with Unbreakable Music Group. At the end of the last year, her experience finally came to good use with NY Post offering her a space in their paper to give sexual advice to readers who have problems/issues. So far this is what she's working on under Ashley Dupre nick. While her popularity in the media may have died down a little, the internet pages are crazy as ever with her MySpace page visited millions of times.
An adult movie with her images was released in '08 after battling with courts for a while. The movie shows her still as a teen who appeared naked in the footage. Ashley Dupre protested against this release and made a claim against a publishing company but it was discovered that the filming of the footage was consensual and that she doesn't have a leg to stand on, but let it be released.
