NY 'Madam' To Name Names On Dr. Phil Episode

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) -- A New York mother of four, known as the "Upper East Side madam," plans to write a tell-all book and intends to drop some names on an episode of Dr. Phil, according to a report from CBS New York.

Anna Gristina told the New York Daily News following a brief court appearance Wednesday that football fans particularly will be interested in the book.

According to CBS New York via the New York Post, Gristina said the Dr. Phil appearance will be taped next week and will air the following week. According to the report, Gristina says one of the names is a high-level NFL management and the other is an older well-known player.

Prosecutors had accused her of having a roster of wealthy, well-placed clients and boasting of law-enforcement connections during 15 years in a business that made her millions. After an investigation, they said it became clear she was simply running a brothel and profiting from it. She said she was merely starting a dating service.
