Ashley Dupre, the young woman involved in a salacious scandal that saw the demise of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, has dropped a lawsuit filed against "Girls Gone Wild" and its founder, Joe Francis. In the $10 million federal lawsuit Dupre claimed that Francis exploited her image and name on the internet. Dupre has since voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit, according to court documents filed on Thursday.
Dupre said that she was just 17 when she signed a contract giving permission to appear in the Girls Gone Wild videos. In the lawsuit she says she was on Spring Break in Miami Beach in 2003, when she was approached by Girls Gone Wild crew, who gave her alcoholic drinks and a release form to sign.
According to Joe Francis, Dupre was on the Girls Gone Wild bus for a week, and made seven full-length videos. After Dupre filed the lawsuit, Francis released a video which showed Durpe giving her name as Amber Arpaio. When questioned whether she was 18 and if footage shot could be used on Girls Gone Wild, "Amber" answered yes. Furthermore, she showed a New Jersey driver's license with the name Amber Arpaio on it, as well as a birthdate that would give the impression she was in her 20s.
Durpe made headlines this past spring when it was discovered that she was the pricey call girl from the Emperor's Club VIP prostituion rink linked to then-governor Eliot Spitzer. Spitzer resigned shortly after the scandal came to light.
Following the scandal, Joe Francis offered Dupre $1 million to appear in one of his videos and go on a promo tour. However, the took back the offer when he discovered that he already had footage of her.
