FBI alleges that WWE's Ashley Massaro was involved in an international escort service

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.

Powell's POV: Not to be cruel, but I think Braun said it best when she stated in the article that looks didn't matter to her. "It was all about her pedigree in the adult world," Braun said. This could become a huge story, as 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. Ugh.

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. Stay classy, Chuck.
