A $1 million offer made to Ashley Alexandra Dupre (a.k.a Spitzer’s Whore) by Girls Gone Wild hit a teensy snafu when it was discovered that Dupre already appeared in one of the videos when she was just 18. Ever the shrewd businessman/piece of fucking shit, founder Joe Francis quickly retracted his offer and now plans to re-release the old footage.

“I met her on spring break at the Girls Gone Wild beach house in April 2003,” Francis tells PEOPLE. “She got into the Jacuzzi. … She threw her arms around me. I never made the connection that this was Ashley. But my cameraman had been in touch with her for a while. I didn’t make the connection until really recently. Then it was like: that’s Ashley!”

Well if it’s any conciliation, Ashley — I hope you at least stole his wallet. And hey, I’m sure there’s other opportunities out there! After millions of parents breathed a sign of relief when realizing that it wasn’t their kid, I’m thinking maybe poster child for pro-choice advocacy?
