(AXcess News) New York - The call girl who brought the political career of New York's former Governor, Eliot Spitzer, to a pants-around-the-knees end, Ashley Dupre, has dropped her $10 million lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild founder, Joe Francis.

Dupre had her fifteen minutes of fame - and then some - after Spitzer was caught in a Federal prostitution sting, having paid Ashley Dupre to meet up with him at Washington hotels in return for thousands of dollars.  Dupre came clean as soon she was in the spot light and took advantage of every minute of glory that the New York call girl could muster - including trying rather unsuccessfully to launch her singing career.

At the same time, Dupre found a good New York lawyer willing to take on a lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild's founder, claiming pictures of her were being released on the Internet and that at the time they were taken she was not 18 years old.

Ashley slammed into Francis with a $10 million lawsuit but on Thursday, she voluntarily withdrew the suit.  Most likely the Girls Gone Wild founder paid her off.

Ashley nor Francis are talking - both the call girl and Girls Gone Wild founder were mum on the whole topic.
