Ashley Dupre — best remembered as the former escort who brought New York “Luv Gov.” Eliot Spitzer to his knees during a 2008 sex scandal– has a few words of encouragement for Tiger Woods’ humiliated wife, Elin Nordegren.

“If she really loves him, and they have those bonds… go to therapy, see if you can work it out. I believe in love and making it work out,” the brunette says. “They can do it.”

Ashley, now 23, doesn’t think the more than half dozen women who claim to have been romanced by Tiger should be talking to the press about their affairs. “I don’t agree with coming forward,” Ashley reasons. “I mean, he has a family, he has a wife, he has kids. For people who just come out and say things… that’s really wrong. You’re messing with some one else’s life.”
