Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned in 2008 after revelations of a tryst with Ashley Dupre, a woman-of-the-night affiliated with the Emperors Club VIP elite escort service, aka prostitution ring. The author of the Rough Justice: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer, his wife Silda Wall Spitzer blamed herself saying, “On some level, this is my fault. The wife is supposed to take care of the sex. This is my failing.” Dupre retired and is now pursuing a career in music.
