NEW YORK (CNN) -- The woman alleged to have been hired by New York governor Eliot Spitzer reportedly revealed Thursday she had gone without sleep since the scandal broke earlier this week and said she did not want to be thought of as a monster.
Ashley Alexandra Dupre, reportedly identified in court documents as a call girl known as "Kristen," appeared in court on Monday as a witness against four people accused of operating a high-class prostitution ring allegedly used by the disgraced Democrat.
Spitzer, an ally of Hillary Clinton and a rising star within the Democratic Party who made his name as a corporate crime-busting district attorney, announced his resignation Wednesday after reports of his connection to the Emperors Club VIP prostitute ring emerged.
Neither Dupre or Spitzer are accused of any crime.
Dupre, born Ashley Youmans, from New Jersey, told the New York Times: "I just don't want to be thought of as a monster. This has been a very difficult time. It is complicated."
Writing on her MySpace page, the 22-year-old said she had been "broke and homeless" and had abused drugs since leaving home aged 17 to pursue a singing career in New York.
"It was my decision, and I've never looked back," she writes. "Left my hometown. Left a broken family. Left abuse... Left and learned what it was like to have everything, and lose it, again and again.
