ASHLEY MASSARO Speaks out about her Roll in the MICHELLE BRAUN Scandal

The buzz in the wrestling world the last week has been about WWE Diva, Ashley Massaro. Rolling Stone currently has a piece about a high-end escort service. In the story, the author reports of a brothel that charges up to $25,000 to spend “time” with Playmates and porn stars. The story shook the wrestling world when Ashley Massaro was named in the story as a girl who was pimped out by Bella Models.
The WWE and Ashley were quick to deny the story. Dave Meltzer reported that there was a bikini model also named Ashley Massaro out of Las Vegas. Meltzer reports that the girl is younger than Massaro and often confused with the WWE Diva. It looked like Ashley was not only in the clear at this point, but could potentially benefit from a lawsuit.

Ashley actually went as far as to post a response on her Myspace.com page.” 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.” Poor Ashley was so upset that she couldn’t even post a song with her blog.

The story picked up a lot of momentum over the last few days when the author of the piece, Michelle Grigoiadis spoke to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com. “Obviously, I stand by my story,” Grigoriadis told Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com. “Massaro is named in an FBI search warrant that was executed on Michelle Braun’s property in October, 2007. I have no knoweldge of another woman by the same name.”

At that point it seemed that the author only stood by her story that Ashley Massaro was named in documents. The author didn’t say whether she stood by the fact that Ashley Massaro of the WWE is indeed the girl named in the FBI paperwork. At this point I concluded that Massaro is innocent and this author was somewhat irresponsible to drag her into the mess without being 100% unequivocally correct.

The story took another twist which can’t be good for the WWE Diva. Prowrestling.net uncovered the archived ad for Ashley Massaro on the Bella website. It is definitely there and it states that she is willing to travel for $25,000. Unfortunately the picture was removed from the site so there is no way to know whether it was her picture or not. The ad lists the girl as traveling from Long Island, NY, and ladies and gentleman herein lies the problem.

WWE Diva Ashley Massaro is indeed from New York, while the “other” Ashley Massaro is from Las Vegas.

Originally I thought Ashley was innocent. My thoughts were that she has been a Diva for awhile now and as a former Playmate, Survivor star, and current WWE star doesn’t need the money. The travel schedule for a WWE star is so hellacious at times that I don’t even know when she would have the time to do such a thing.

However, my view has changed. I have spoken to a few people that know a lot about this story. My sources tell me that they do indeed believe that this is WWE Diva Ashley Massaro. My sources tell me that the timing fits and the fact that this girl was advertised from New York is a big giveaway. I have also heard that as of this time Ashley is not on the hot seat and is expected to keep her job. I have also been told she has been informed to keep quiet about it in hopes that it goes away without further investigation.

Michelle Braun - the New Heidi Fleiss

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.

Rolling Stone alleges, “prominent athletes, TV stars, and Fortune 500 CEOs” were among Braun’s clientele. Nice of the government to protect those names yet release the names of the women involved.
An article in Details says “by most accounts, the most beautiful (and expensive) pros in the business are with Nici’s Girls, a favorite of numerous high-profile industry-ites — including the head of a management company and a well-known producer of nearly 70 movies. The producer persuaded his former leading man, currently the star of a popular network show, to sign on for a movie by sending two Nici’s Girls over for the weekend.
If anyone has taken Fleiss’ place, it’s Nici — otherwise known as Michelle Braun, a 27-year-old mother of two who until recently lived in Bakersfield, 100 miles outside of L.A. Braun claims that she left the company over a year ago and that it was never an escort or prostitution business but a special-appearance booking company that hired out girls for everything from casual meetings to casino openings. “My service was for people to meet famous people,” Braun tells me over the phone. “Not like Julia Roberts, more like B-actress famous.”
Two different sources, one of whom is an FBI informant, said that the agency is investigating Braun. (FBI spokesperson Vicki Hampton-Franklin said that she couldn’t confirm or deny such an investigation.) When I started researching this story, www.nicisgirls.com was a fully functional Web site that required a membership number to delve any further than the home page. Several days after Braun and I spoke, the site had been replaced with a note saying that the domain name was for sale.”

Other articles say similar things about Michelle Braun including that she is now a millionairess. She had porn stars, models and actresses working for her for 40 grand or so per weekend.

Braun does confess that actor Charlie Sheen answered one of her early ads. That’s hardly a shocking revelation given Sheen’s track record. Braun claimed she dropped off four escorts at Sheen’s home and found the actor waiting in silk pajamas with “C. MaSheen” embroidered on the front.
