Ashley for $25,000 really

[rlm6370]

The latest issue of Rolling Stone alleges that WWE Diva Ashley Massaro worked for Los Angeles escort service Bella Models, which is run by Michelle Braun (a/k/a Nici). The story notes that it's not just Braun making the claim. Rather, the story notes that the FBI tracked emails in which Bella Models made travel arrangements for Massaro and other clients. It also states:

"All I do is make the introductions between famous girls and rich guys who want to meet them," Braun told Rolling Stone. "I think the rates I charge are justified just to meet these women, even if nothing happens."

FBI papers omit the names of the men who allegedly paid for the services, yet list the names of Massaro, other Playboy models, a Maxim model, and adult film stars. Some of the emails discuss whether the women allow "fetish" or "GFE" (girlfriend experience). The Rolling Stone story features a photo of Massaro and lists her as a "professional wrestler—WWE" on page 52 of the May 15 issue.

Believe it or not there is another model named Ashley Massero, who is younger and does mostly "bikini" work. Meltzer from the Observer bought up that the escort in question could have been HER, and the people doing the story are mistaking who it is.

But Ashley is a skank, it would not surprise me. Plus she was a bartender here in NY before hitting the bigtime, so I am sure she was hanging around with sordid sorts.

If a dude from the Wrestling Observer realized that there are two Ashley Massaros you would think the FBI would have been able to figure that ought before they pointed fingers. At least I would hope so......

I think what happened is the FBI simply floated out the list of names, and other media sources hopped on and went with the stories. And for what it is worth Ashley (the wrestler) denies it flatly.

Looks like someone will be getting some settlement money, how much is Rolling Stone and TMZ worth

The story takes another turn
The Modeling agency old website had the Ashley listed as being from NYC and the WWE's Ashley is from Long Island

I saw that. Couple of things - why would she bring her name into wrestling after using it on the "escort" circuit? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Why not make up a stripper name? It would still most likely come out, but less of a chance. Someone just stumbled upon this.

Funny the WWE's Ashley seems to be making denials and warnings to sue, but nothing has been heard from this other Ashley Massaro at all.
