"GGW" Lawyers to Grill Spitzer's Girl

Posted Jun 2nd 2008 6:00PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned lawyers for "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis have subpoenaed Eliot Spitzer's favorite midnight caller Ashley Dupre to testify under oath and on video about her shady and sordid dealing with a prostitution ring.

Following her spectacular rise to fame as Spitzer's call girl du jour, Dupre filed a $10 million suit against Francis and GGW after the company offered her -- and then rescinded after they discovered video of her in their vaults-- a $1 million deal. She claims "GGW" ruined her reputation.

We hear lawyers for GGW plan to grill Dupre on a litany of topics, hoping to prove that her previous use of fake names, fake IDs and fake web pages will shed light on the alleged shady lady's credibility. GGW's lawyer says after they're done with her, they're confident "any jury will view her claims as frivolous."

For his part, Francis says, "Now that we are calling on her to testify under oath, the world will learn the real truth about Ashley Dupre." Bring it on!

Dupre's New York lawyer Don Buchwald responded to TMZ: "To the extent her testimony is needed, she will of course comply with whatever the rules are in Florida courts."

2.

I'm not a fan of GGW, but it is legal to film people being idiots and they have proof of I.D.

This young (ahem) woman had fake I.D., she was running with adults, she was drinking, dancing and exposing herself while laughing the entire time. She thought it was great fun as, apparently, numerous females who feel the need to "perform" and show their bods, sexual promiscuity and girly bits for the GGW camera crew. They get their "moment of fame".

Well, she got what she wanted. Someone else can't exploit you when you're too busy sexually exploiting yourself. Ask Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian or any number of the females who wanted to film their sexual exploits.

No sympathy here.

6. Honey, GGW didn't ruin your life. If she hadn't been exposed with Spencer, she'd still be slutting it up anonymously. No one's fault but her own.

7. She is soooo fat. OMG who does she think she is? I think, I am entitled to some Pink Berry. Pink Berry is sooo good. But seriously she is soooooo fat. She should start up her Pink Berry Barrista career.

8. GGW ruined her reputation?
I don't think so! - she did that all by herself.

9. I think once you get busted for being a prostitute...you pretty much ruined yourself. I could care less about GGW or Joe. It's his business and there doesn't seem to be a shortage on females that are willing to show their wild side. Why not make money? Not much different that Playboy.
