Kristin M. Davis (born July 7, 1977), formerly known as the Manhattan Madam, is a former madam who was famous for running a high-end prostitution ring in New York City which claimed to have offered its services to several high-profile clients, including Eliot Spitzer, Alex Rodriguez and David Beckham. After her conviction for her prostitution activities, Davis ran a novelty campaign for Governor of New York in 2010 and was poised to run for New York City Comptroller in 2013 before being arrested (and later convicted) for drug dealing.
Davis was a madam who was arrested during a string of arrests surrounding the then-current Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer (Davis was not, however, involved with the Emperors Club VIP, the prostitution ring at the center of the scandal that led to Spitzer's resignation). Prior to her running of an escort agency, she was the vice president of a hedge fund operation with assets of over $2 billion. She stated that after leaving her job (she has variously claimed to have been "unfairly fired" and having quit voluntarily), she started her business after her mother suffered serious health problems and could no longer work. Among her employees was a woman named Irma Nici, who claims to have served Spitzer and English footballer David Beckham during her time in Davis' agency. Indeed, she stated on The Joy Behar Show that Spitzer was blacklisted from her agency for his violent behavior towards her staff. Another one of Davis's alleged clients was baseball player Alex Rodriguez, who is also rumored to have dated Davis herself; Davis has neither confirmed nor denied those allegations but has claimed to do business with Rodriguez. Davis's involvement with Spitzer, according to her, mostly took place during his time as Attorney General in 2005; for his part, Spitzer has denied ever using Davis's firm, and local police authorities have found no connection between Spitzer and Davis's firm.
