By the afternoon of March 10, 2008, as Spitzer met with Constantine in what had become the frantic huddles — including his wife, Silda, and sister, Emily — at his Fifth Avenue home, Spitzer was identified as “Client 9” by The New York Times.
Kristen was later identified as aspiring New Jersey singer Ashley Dupre. On that fateful February afternoon, Dupre traveled by train from Penn Station to DC for the rendezvous. Dupre, who later confessed she had no idea who her client was, had been warned by her bookers at Emperor’s Club that Spitzer was “difficult.”.
Following the assignation, Dupre was caught on an FBI wiretap telling her pimps, “I don’t think he’s difficult. I mean it’s kind of like, whatever, I’m here for a purpose.
When he headed the anti-trust bureau for the Attorney General’s office in 1982, Constantine had hired Spitzer as a 23-year-old student intern, believing he was destined for greatness — maybe even the White House. He told The Post he had no idea of his friend’s clandestine hookups.
Much to everyone’s surprise, Spitzer had used the high-end escort agency Emperors Club VIP in the past, and federal agents had traced as much as $80,000 in transfers from his bank accounts to the agency over a two-year period.

On March 12, a grim-faced Spitzer, with his wife of 21 years by his side, ended a promising political career, citing “my private failings” in a shocking resignation speech.
Spitzer later counter-sued the woman, accusing her of trying to blackmail him. The extortion charge was later dropped after she accepted a plea deal concerning an attempted petit-larceny charge involving another ex-lover.
Spitzer often complained about his other girlfriend and his then-wife Silda Spitzer, she said. “He told me about problems with his wife. She complained about his drinking. She bought a dog without telling him,” she said. As revenge, Spitzer brought Zakharova to the apartment, breaking the wife’s “family only” rule.
As revenge, Spitzer brought Zakharova to the apartment, breaking the wife’s “family only” rule. “He used to take me upstate to the farm,” the Russian woman said. “He cooked for me, omelets, and he would put a potato in the microwave.
When the doorman would ask if he could help, Eliot would say, ‘No, thanks,’” she added, noting that she was sneaked in this way at least 15 times. The woman first became known in 2016 after she accused Spitzer of choking her during one of the sex sessions and said he threatened to kill her.
