Ashley Dupré is developing a cable reality series, E! News reported. The former call girl gained fame through her involvement in the Eliot Spitzer scandal.An unnamed source told E! that the 23-year-old has been developing a show with Los Angeles-based Handprint Entertainment, which has managed reality stars Nicole Richie and Pamela Anderson.
The source said that the series may be a dating show.
"They're talking to MTV about Ashley being the next Tila Tequila," a source close to the project told E!
A representative for Dupré said that she did not have a TV deal, but declined to comment on whether she is developing a series. Executives at Handprint Entertainment could not be reached for comment, and MTV declined to comment on the story.
Dupré was recently in the news for filing a lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis for unjust enrichment and other offenses. Francis had publicly declared that he had, and wished to use, the footage of Dupré's 18th birthday party so that people could "learn the real truth about Ashley Dupré."
Dupré, whose complaint claimed she was drunk when she signed a release for Francis, abandoned the lawsuit last week.
"She has prospects for many exciting new projects and is looking forward to starting a new chapter," Richard C. Wolfe, Dupré's attorney, said in a statement Thursday.
