Ashley Massaro Linked to Escort Service

Well, she HAS been sitting at home a lot lately.

Well, she HAS been sitting at home a lot lately.

 

That's very true, so this could be completely possible as happening, especially more recently, as in the last 6-10 months or so. Keep in mind Ashley was forced to sit at home during the entire time that Survivor show she was on was being broadcast. Then didn't she get injured or something? I can't even remember. And then earlier this year, she was "sent home" for reasons assumed to be some sort of behaviour issue or perhaps that she was on drugs, etc. Case in point is she has had alot of "downtime" in the last year or so. Plus she was also just recently demoted in a sense that she was supposed to be the one to finally beat Phoenix for the belt and they moved it to Mickie James instead. Not sure what the reason was for that.

 

I'm sure WWE is just waiting for an excuse to get rid of her anyway from her standing in the company right now anyway, so this would give them ample reason to release her. Does WWE have any grounds for any legal action on her as well for doing this sort of stuff while she is employed by them without their permission? I would think every worker on the roster needs to clear any additional income made outside of the company to them to approve on it? I could be wrong there, though.

No legal ground there whatsoever. The WWE wrestlers are all legally considered to be self-employed independent contractors. In fact, the company has consistently abused that definition by exerting more power and control over the wrestlers than it is technically allowed to by law.

 

 

Another reason why I think it is this Ashley: the article said that the escort service was exclusively in the business of setting up meetings with famous women. Has anyone here even heard of Other Ashley before this?

1. Wrestling fans are fairly obsessive. Why didn't we hear about this before?

Because most internet wrestling fans don't have 25G's to drop on a hooker?

Meltzer sure knows his Vegas bikini models.

$20 that Melina or Lawler make fun of this on the next RAW.

Exactly. And conversely: Why have we never heard of The Other Ashley Massaro before?

Because no one cares enough about The Real* Ashley Massaro to look for another one, I guess.

 

(*Real as in The Real Ghostbusters. Not trying to start a plastic surgery debate over what's real on Ashley)

She has nothing to do with wrestling and has done nothing newsowrthy, so why would we ever hear about her?

 

Back during the Attitude Era, we weren't aware of all the other people in the world named "Steve Austin" either.

WWE's Ashley had to spell her myspace differenly because AshleyMassaro was taken...

[Ripper 0]

Ugly, fake tit'd, crackhead skinney chicks don't get 25k for a night of fucking.

 

That is the flaw in thinking its her for me.

Same reasoning: Wrestling fans are fairly obsessive, plus she has the same occupation.

At that time, Steve Austin wasn't even named Steve Austin so I doubt it could have been a point of real life confusion.

As Buck Woodward wrote over the weekend, WWE's Ashley Massaro was implicated as being part of an escort service run by Michelle "Nici" Braun in an article that was published in the current issue of Rolling Stone, written by the magazine's Contributing Editor Michelle Grigoriadis.

 

According to Grigoriadis' piece, the FBI monitored emails between Massaro and "Bella Models" which Braun ran as the front for the escort service, arranging transportation for Massaro in 2004. The monitored emails (and many other email exchanges between the agency and others, models and clients alike, from 2004 through last year) were used as building blocks for a search warrant executed during a raid on Braun's home October 2007.

 

Massaro came out publicly against the allegations almost immediately on her MySpace.com blog, penning, "Just got buzzed on some BS that is going around. Dont believe it for a second. Getting in touch with my lawyer as we speak. No post song because I'm beyond upset." Masarro has not commented since.

 

One theory that making the rounds online after word of the RS article broke was the idea that WWE's Massaro is being confused with another woman who goes by the same name. However, according to Grigoriadis' piece, Braun's escort service was made up almost exclusively of high-end women recruited "from the ranks of Playboy models and porn stars." It was what set them apart from other agencies and what made Braun her fortune. While Massaro wasn't with WWE at the time of the monitored emails, she was indeed, already involved with Playboy.

 

The timeline mentioned in the Rolling Stone article is very important here. The article noted the year of the FBI monitored emails between Massaro and Bella Models was 2004. That would be a year prior to Massaro winning the 2005 Diva Search competition and signing on with World Wrestling Entertainment full-time.

 

However, as noted, Massaro would have already been involved with Playboy, modeling under the stage name "Mackenzie Ryan". In 2003, Massaro took part in Playboy's 50th Anniversary Playmate Search, posing for a magazine dedicated to the search. She was also featured as Playboy.com's Cyber Girl for January 2004. While WWE has played up a storyline that Ashley's character first posed for the magazine in 2007, the reality is that Massaro had appeared previously for Playboy and those pre-WWE appearances do theoretically fit neatly into the same period as the FBI emails cited in the article.

 

The Rolling Stone piece noted that Braun had been soliciting Playmates through one of Playboy owner Hugh Hefner's girlfriends, who, had a connection to Braun and "was willing to solicit other Playmates and [Hefner] girlfriends." It stands to reason that Massaro would know those who traveled in those circles by virtue of her modeling work for the magazine and the escort service specifically provided services for those looking to meet high-end, beautiful, somewhat celebrity women that would otherwise be unattainable had it not been for the size of the johns' wallets.

 

Now, I concede there's always a possibility that another woman was using the same stage name during that time period, but I've been unable to find anything that lends credence to that theory. All research for the name "Ashley Massaro" only turns up information relating to the WWE performer. One reader who actually sent us a link to the "other" Ashley's website mistakenly sent us to photos of a pre-WWE, pre-tattooed Ashley.

 

A case of mistaken identity? Involving Rolling Stone magazine and a writer that has a great track record? Well, the odds that there was a mix-up involving another woman going by the same name (one that isn't exactly Jane Doe when it comes to being common), with connections to Playboy during the same time frame at the 2004 emails seems almost astronomical.

 

Still, despite all that, could this still just be a case of mistaken identity for the self-proclaimed "Dirty, dirty Diva"?

 

When reached via email over the weekend regarding the Massaro aspect of her Rolling Stone piece, RS Contributing Editor Michelle Grigoriadis didn't seem to believe so. When informed of Massaro's denial and the online theories, Grigoriadis commented, "Obviously, I stand by my story. Massaro is named in an FBI search warrant that was executed on Michelle Braun's property in October, 2007. I have no knowledge of another woman by the same name."

 

Gossip website TMZ.com picked up on the Massaro story over the weekend, but were unable to reach World Wrestling Entertainment for comment at the time. As of this writing, WWE has not publicly responded to or acknowledged the story.

 

World Wrestling Entertainment is taping Raw tonight in Toronto, so Massaro should be scheduled to be at the taping. Should she make a live appearance on the show, we'll know soon enough if the Toronto fans acknowledge the story.

If anything, they can just kayfabe this and bring back the Godfather full time and let Ashley run with this gimmick. It's not too far fetched because of the way she dresses to come aboard the ho train.

That seems highly unlikely due to the serious nature of the situation. Sounds to me like this is 99 percent sure the right Ashley they got.

 

Question is....will WWE even let her go.....do they have any valid grounds since all of this stuff occured before she was even employed?

 

Chances are she will be released, but the company will still have to pay her until her contract expires.

[Atticus Chaos 0]

She might have more to worry about than losing her job if the feds are onto her.

The pendulum may be swinging back to this being WWE Ashley after all. Meltzer rewrote his Sunday update from saying the escort woman was "likely" the other Ashley to saying it "seems possible." No Monday update yet.

Location: New York City.

 

 

Records show Ashley lived in New York during this time (and why would las vegas ashley ever be there?)

 

Its her alright.

[Thanks for the Fish 0]

Well pre-wwe, I'm much more inclined to believe it. However did she ever work for the company or just exchange emails with a modeling agency front?

[Bix 0]

Working link here.

[Boxer 0]

You know, looking at this, has anyone ever made it out alive and ok after their playboy shoots?

 

99 - Sable. Left the company months after in a dispute.

00 - Chyna. Got frustrated with the company, left after contract talks, has become a mess since.

03 - Torrie. Did manage for a while, but took a bad bump that may leave her back in pain for the rest of her life.

05 - Christy. Was released within a year, had no future with the company

06 - Candace. Seems to be getting hurt a lot lately. Career is in doubt right now.

07 - Ashley - Currently in trouble. Has had some problems in the past.

 

Hopefully Maria can break this or she'll be unemployed within a year, judging by the other's past.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Seeing how Christy is still working with TNA, I think she's done the best so far out of the bunch.

 

Poor Matt Hardy, he went from dating a slut (Lita) to dating a whore.

From what I've heard, Lawler would consider Ashley "too old".

Wow, that site has plenty of porn stars. One of which is Krystal Steal! (Who is 10,000 cheaper then Ashley...) shit wish I had that much money

[Atticus Chaos 0]

--Regarding the Ashley Massaro situation, after having the web site link from the Bella Models web site on Ashley Massaro sent, with all the photos and information taken down, the only thing mistake made was they listed Massaro as based in New York. The WWE's Ashley Massaro grew up on Long Island. The one-time bikini model Ashley Massaro grew up in Las Vegas, so unless the other Massaro moved to New York, which would be quite the coincidence, the person in the Rolling Stone story regarding an FBI investigation into high priced escort services was referring to the WWE Diva. The fact nobody has retracted the story linking the WWE Diva means the WWE Massaro has provided no substantial evidence that it's not her, despite her denials.
