As the one year anniversary of the Eliot Spitzer scandal pulls near, the Daily News ties up one of its loose ends and gets some kinky details from an escort who claims that she was sent to the former governor. "Annie" opens up to Rush & Molloy about Spitzer's desire to play rough with her. She tells them:
He wanted a scenario where I was supposed to say I had just been to a self-defense class. He was supposed to respond, 'Let's see if you learned anything. He would be aggressive. I would have to defend myself...I don't remember any kissing or tenderness. He wanted to get on with the role-play. He put his clothes neatly to the side, folding his pants. Yes, he did leave his socks on...I was never fully undressed. He was naked. He was perspiring a lot. He was holding me down. He pinned me to the bed. That didn't bother me. But when he grabbed my throat, that was too much. I remember trying to push myself up off the bed, which made him apply more pressure. I've never been worried about my safety, but I was really concerned...Finally, I pushed him away and got up. He hadn't finished. But I'd had enough. I don't think he was planning on really hurting me. He didn't ask if I was all right. He didn't appear to be mad, either...As he was leaving, he gave me a tip."
Annie says that she was working for famous madam Kristin Davis and that the encounter took place back when Spitzer was state attorney general. The escort also claims to have been with another state's current governor, but was not spilling the beans oh which.
A lawyer for Spitzer told the News that the account was "outrageous and defamatory." Meanwhile, the former governor has made headlines for his current activities lately with the announcement that he is venturing into the commercial real estate business with the purchase of an office building in Washington DC. The building stands just across the street from the Mayflower Hotel, where Spitzer's demise began last year.
