‘King of All Pimps’ who recruited then-NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer hooker Ashley Dupré cleared in spat with YouTuber



The self-proclaimed “King of All Pimps” who took credit for recruiting Ashley Dupré, the hooker whose tryst with then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer ended the “Luv Guv’s” career, has been cleared of criminal charges in a long-running spat with a fellow social media personality.

Now a foul-mouthed live streamer who goes by the online name “MrBased,” Jason Itzler was facing harassment, criminal contempt and making a terroristic threat charges in two pending Brooklyn cases for allegedly threatening YouTuber Alex Novell and violating an order to stay away from him.

This week, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office dropped the charges against Itzler, 58, who has 170,000 TikTok followers and an audience of 151,000 on Instagram, his attorney, Mark Bederow, said.

“The criminal charges are completely dismissed and gone,” Bederow told The Post.

The DA’s office said it cannot comment on the now-sealed cases. 

Years after he made headlines for his small part in Spitzer’s salacious scandal, Itzler has reinvented himself online — often seen in social media posts hanging out with an autistic TikToker with 3.8 million followers named Josh Block, aka “World of Tshirts.”

The spat started when Novell accused Itzler in a July 2024 of confessing to murder in the 2010 killing of Wisconsin college student Julia Sumnicht.

Novell included audio of Itzler allegedly confessing to buying and providing the GHB Sumnicht took in Miami Beach the night of her death.

Itzler has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in Sumnicht’s death.

He pleaded guilty, however, to misdemeanor assault in Manhattan in November after an incident with Novell, records showed.

Novell then sued Itzler in March in Brooklyn Supreme Court for the Manhattan assault and allegedly harassing him over the video, while Itzler sued the YouTuber in April for defamation. Both cases have since been dropped, records show.

“Those matters have been resolved,” Bederow said of the lawsuits.

In the 2000s, Iztler bragged about running New York Confidential, one of the Big Apple’s most infamous prostitution rings, and touted giving then-19-year-old “little lamb” Dupré her start in the city’s tawdry sex-for-hire scene.

Dupré has transformed herself since her headline-making days.

After briefly running a lingerie business in New Jersey, Dupré, 40, now goes by the name Ashley Earle, offering parenting advice and clips of her young kids to her 310,000 TikTok followers.

Meanwhile, her stepdaughter, “Hot Mess” podcaster Alix Earle, dwarfs her stepmom’s social media power with a whopping 7.4 million TikTok followers.

Novell did not return The Post’s message seeking comment.
