Ashley Massaro

Michelle Braun aka Nici

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.

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.
An article in Details says “by most accounts, the most beautiful (and expensive) pros in the business are with Nici’s Girls, a favorite of numerous high-profile industry-ites — including the head of a management company and a well-known producer of nearly 70 movies. The producer persuaded his former leading man, currently the star of a popular network show, to sign on for a movie by sending two Nici’s Girls over for the weekend.
If anyone has taken Fleiss’ place, it’s Nici — otherwise known as Michelle Braun, a 27-year-old mother of two who until recently lived in Bakersfield, 100 miles outside of L.A. Braun claims that she left the company over a year ago and that it was never an escort or prostitution business but a special-appearance booking company that hired out girls for everything from casual meetings to casino openings. “My service was for people to meet famous people,” Braun tells me over the phone. “Not like Julia Roberts, more like B-actress famous.”
Two different sources, one of whom is an FBI informant, said that the agency is investigating Braun. (FBI spokesperson Vicki Hampton-Franklin said that she couldn’t confirm or deny such an investigation.) When I started researching this story, www.nicisgirls.com was a fully functional Web site that required a membership number to delve any further than the home page. Several days after Braun and I spoke, the site had been replaced with a note saying that the domain name was for sale.”

Other articles say similar things about Michelle Braun including that she is now a millionairess. She had porn stars, models and actresses working for her for 40 grand or so per weekend.

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.
