"I said, 'My real name is Wendy,' and he said, 'Oh my God.' " -- Wendy Yow Ellis, a self-described former prostitute, recounting the sentence she said ended her relationship with Sen. David Vitter, R-La. Vitter is married to Wendy Baldwin Vitter. Former prostitute details Vitter affair Posted by The Times-Picayune September 11, 2007 2:30PM Categories: Breaking News, Elections/Politics, National By Kate Moran Staff writer blog.nola.com AP Photo by Ric FrancisHustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt. left, and Wendy Yow Ellis speak at a news conference, Tuesday in Beverly Hills, Calif. A woman who once worked as a prostitute in New Orleans said Tuesday that Senator David Vitter had sex with her several times a week from July to November 1999, shortly after he was elected to Congress. Wendy Yow Ellis said she met Vitter through an escort service and saw him two to three times a week in an apartment at Dauphine and Dumaine streets in the French Quarter. Vitter was elected to the U.S. House in May 1999 and sworn in to office June 8. At first, Ellis said, he knew her only by her stage name: Leah. Ellis said the affair ended "abruptly" when she gave him her real name. She shares a first name with his wife, Wendy Baldwin Vitter. "When I asked him if he would like to carry this beyond the business, I gave him my name and phone number. I said, 'My real name is Wendy,' and he said, 'Oh my God,'" Ellis recalled. "I did see him a few times at the club I danced at after that. He just kind of gave me a look of disbelief." Ellis, 34, spoke at a press conference in Beverly Hills hosted by Larry Flynt, the publisher of the magazine Hustler. Flynt uncovered Vitter's phone number in the records of a Washington, D.C., escort service this summer, and he will pay Ellis to share details of her trysts with Vitter in the magazine. Flynt said Tuesday that he wants to expose hypocrisy among politicians who run on a platform of conservative values while carrying on extramarital affairs in their private lives. "It is not a question of muckraking and exposing the perverts," Flynt said. "It's more than that. It is trying to maintain some honesty in the government."
