Call Girl Power!

If you think all call girls are just going to lie down and take it, think again.

Ashley Dupre, the hooker behind the Eliot Spitzer scandal, is now suing Joe Francis to the tune of $10M for the illegal use of her name and image.

In the lawsuit, filed on Monday in federal court in Miami, Ashley Alexandra Dupre contends that she was 17 and not old enough to sign a legally binding contract when she appeared partially nude in video footage filmed in 2003 by members of Francis’ Mantra Films production company in Miami Beach.

On a spring break vacation at the time, Dupre was also drunk when told to sign a video “release” form, according to the complaint, which seeks damages in excess of $10 million from Francis and his co-defendants.

“At the time of these events, plaintiff did not understand the magnitude of her actions nor that her image and likeness would be displayed in videos and DVDs produced and distributed by defendants,” the lawsuit says.

You go get ’em, Ashley! Anyone suing Joe Francis is okay by me, even if they are a hooker.
