In her new book, The Manhattan Madam: Sex, Drugs, Scandal, and Greed Inside America’s Most Successful Prostitution Ring, Kristin Davis writes about her life as a madam.
Eliot Spitzer was a client from 2004 to 2006. He used the name James. He said he was a lawyer. He called her at least once a week to book a trick.
Spitzer liked slender yet curvy brunettes. Who doesn’t? He preferred the All-American, college-girl type. Most high-end New York clients had these tastes while West Coasters preferred curvier bustier blondes.
Kristin got tons of complaints about "James." He was rough and aggressive. Not in any S-M way, though he did enjoy giving the girls a good spanking, but it was the matter of condoms. James did not like wearing them while all the hos insisted on them.
Spector "would be a real weasel about it. After the begging, pleading, and commanding didn’t work, James would pretend to relent, only to try another approach."
When Kristin brought these complaints up with Eliot Spitzer, he got defensive and angry. "Who? Who said that? I want to know right now, Billie. I’m appalled by that statement. Appalled! And I have no idea what you’re talking about."
Spitzer wouldn’t let the matter go. He got all legal with her. "Define ‘rough and aggressive.’ What exactly is considered rough and aggressive? Explain this."
Eliot was furious about being called on his bad behavior.
He kept insisting he was right. "This is stupid and ridiculous; you’re accsuing me, but not telling me what I have done wrong. I don’t need this. There are plenty of places like yours out there. I only gave you my business because I liked the way you operated and I liked your girls, but I obviously was very wrong about all of you. I have been a good client, but it’s apparent you don’t want my business or you would give me the opportunity to respond to what was said. If you want to keep my business, you’d better tell me what I did that was aggressive."
The madam then fired him as a client.
