Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis got out of jail after 11 months and “One of the Greatest Miscarriages of Justice Ever” to the sound of crickets chirping. He was soon back at work rubbing his grubby mitts together at the prospect of employing the hooker behind the Governor Spitzer sex scandal to represent his Girls Gone Wild titty-baring franchise. Francis offered 22 year-old Ashley Dupre a million bucks to tell her story in a non-nude photo spread and video for his company. Then Francis realized he already had footage of a then 18 year-old Ashley partying it up and taking it off during spring break on Miami Beach and he quickly rescinded his offer.
Francis described the four year old footage of Ashley as similar to “finding a winning lottery ticket in the cushions of your couch”
Francis will soon release a special video featuring Dupre, now 22, the alleged high-priced call girl linked to the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
“I met her on spring break at the Girls Gone Wild beach house in April 2003,” Francis tells PEOPLE. “She got into the Jacuzzi. … She threw her arms around me. I never made the connection that this was Ashley. But my cameraman had been in touch with her for a while. I didn’t make the connection until really recently. Then it was like: that’s Ashley!”
As Francis told the Associated Press about that Eureka! moment: “It’ll save me a million bucks. It’s kind of like finding a winning lottery ticket in the cushions of your couch.”
[From People.com]
People is predictably tame in their coverage, but Gawker notes that Francis said he got “girl-on-girl action” footage of Ashley with another woman in a hotel room.
The NY Post had these screencaps from GirlsGoneWild.com and at 18, Ashley looked like a dork. She soon progressed from an awkward exhibitionist to a drunken prostitute, though, and the Post had some more photos out at a club last February, clearly blotto and getting groped by various guys.
Gawker has Ashley featured in a music video for rapper Mysterious, who then went on Access Hollywood and The Today show to talk about her and get some free publicity. And US Weekly is set to publish the cheesy modeling photos of Ashley shown below. [via Huffington Post]
Dupre is said to have made $200k from downloads of her songs, and while the Girls Gone Wild offer has been withdrawn she’s also been offered $1 million from Hustler and at least six figures from Georgi Vodka. She better cash in now while she has a chance as this story is quickly fading from the headlines.

All I can say is I find it hard to believe she’s 105 lb! But I suppose she wouldn’t be the first to lie about their age.
-
That’s one classy lady!
-
Her parents must be so proud! “There she is!! That’s my girl!”
-
Ugh, what a ho-bag!
As someone who has watched a porno a few times in her life (hey! don’t look at me like that!), I must say I have never understood the appeal of Girls Gone Wild. I watched one and I actually felt sorry for the girls. The girls in these videos are clearly drunk or on drugs or both and look so out of it.
-
I really don’t understand GGW either, MSat. I have nothing against Playboy or whatever, but under-aged girls who are clearly messed up just don’t do anything for me.
I bet this “Ashley” person is thrilled with all the attention. Something else I’ll never get
-
GGW plays into every frat boy’s spring break/college fantasies that if you get a girl drunk enough she will a) make out with her hot friend and/or b) sleep with your nerdy, pervy, dorky ass
-
i remember also thinking 5′5 and 105 is ridiculous… she’d be anorexic looking. she’s not fat at all but 105? yeah right! peoples perception of weight is so off. She’s gotta be at least 125. which isn’t bad at all! expecially for 5′5.
-
I dunno. I was 5′7 and between 103 and 108 for years and I never looked anorexic.
-
Cash in now while its hot.
-
Thus proving that GGW is a gateway into the prostitute life…?
-
Yup, sleaze sells. We are now in a world that glorify prostitutes and gangstas…
The worst part is to know that the human trash known as Joe Francis is out.
-
ho hum. 15 minutes of fame for an hour and a half of stupidity. it’s a formula for a lifetime of self-disgust, once the dust finally settles. and it will settle — because her this woman is just another rich airhead not a poor kid who doesn’t know better — the picture she’d like us to believe. she’s just a spoiled brat who can’t seem to get her story straight — and never saw the need to have some self-respect, let alone learn how to make an honest living. guess she’ll get whatever it is she deserves — not sure exactly what that is though.
-
bet francis was a popular boy in prison. dumb frat boys aren’t the only ones who like that drunken-sluts-at-the-beach porn.
-
I don’t know, I’m 5′2″ and 110 lbs, and there is NO WAY that she weighs less than me after seeing those pictures. She has a similar height and frame of my sister who is 5′5″ and 130. She wouldn’t necessarily be anorexic-looking at 105, but she’s a thick girl and certainly wouldn’t look thick.
-
totally agree summertime. she has a thicker frame and isnt small boned at all. she looks much skinnier in later pics after her “promotion” into full blown prostitution (pun intended) where she probably discovered the benefits of cocaine for weight control and making the work go down easier.
-
I was going to say something, but then I read the comments and forgot what it was.
Oh yeah; I loved the first line where Joe Francis comes home to “crickets chirping”. Brilliant.
I’ve watched a bit of porn and GGW seems to only appeal to young men who haven’t seen any good porn and are content with the occasional Skinemax movie.

I dunno either, headache, my daughter is 5′7″ and never goes over 105, is occasionally as low as 90, and is not anorexic, doesn’t even really look all that skinny - she has boobs and a butt - there just really is something to the “small-boned”, “large-boned” thing. She’s got a very small frame. She’s always been this way. She eats very slowly and often forgets to eat. But she doesn’t have an eating disorder.
