Gay pimp Billy Ash sent us some photographs last night, two for what appear to be the purpose of protecting former boss Seth Tobias’s $25 million estate from the talons of his widow Filomena and one for just straight up vanity. Because I’d recently started asking myself whether or not our coverage of this murder case was bordering on disrecpectful, and worried we were blowing our chances of appearing alongside detectives Benson and Stabler in a small screen adaptation of this freakshow, I momentarily considered not posting said pictures.
But then I remembered that Mr. Ash is a former associate of Heidi Fleiss and the first thing Carney ever told me was that he “owes Heidi Fleiss a favor.” I’ll leave it at that. You’ll find the photos after the jump, because our publisher wouldn’t allow them on the main page, claiming they would “scare away [his] advertisers.” Exhibit A. is apparently the $2,250* bottle of champagne that Filomena sent Bill after her husband’s passing with the note, “the scumbag is finally dead.” Exhibit B. is the $15,000* watch B-boy received as a bribe to not testify. Exhibit C. is a photograph of Billy stylin and profilin at the Tiger Cubs’ annual GOP fund raiser. Murder trial or not, I think we can all agree he looks criminally hot.
*Ash’s estimate.

    Looks like an about-to-explode bratwurst. That watch should be swapped out for a heart rate monitor and some low dose aspirin therapy.

    First off, that bottle of 1990 Krug is not $2,250. It is about $250, obviously a gross exaggeration, very good but not $2k worth.

    Bess, does Billy object to you publicizing him as a gay pimp or do you think he rather enjoys it?
    Is this the assignment you have been working on. I hope Carney did not actually make you visit with Billy to conduct the interview.

    Nominate @10:38 Only urban gay guys. NY, as you know, is very competitive. Its worse than what you straight boys experience, where you can have a beer belly or fat ass and still get laid. Among gay guys that would immediately take you out of the running.

    Wow, dealbreaker is still not covering in depth the real story out there about Jerome Kerviel. Dealbreaker, havent you heard he has become an instant internet celebrity? Where is the coverage?

  19. Posted by Anonymous | January 29, 2008 at 11:25 AM

    he is not an internet celebrity and frankly the mass media coverage of him is too much already. i’m sure DB will pitch in if it turns out he has a gay pimp or crab hands however

    I heard that the FBI is now involved in the case because of death threats from Filomena’s camp. It was confirmed by the media it was coming from her direction. If I did nothing wrong I’d be calling the police and medical examiner’s office every day asking for the tox reports and getting in front of the camera’s to clear my name. I think everyone knows why Filomena’s not doing that because she killed Seth Tobias.

    I recieved many upsetting phone calls from Filomena. She’s left notes that I still have and would love to show the police. She’s nuts. Look at Filomena. She looks like a man. She has a temper and yes everyone knows she murdered Seth. Her attorney’s tried to block Bill Ash two times from being deposed. If she wasn’t scared why would she care? Bill Ash is being deposed on January 31 and I heard he’s looking forward to it. I also heard about the FBI coming on board because of death threats. 2 husband’s had restraining orders and 1 husband is dead.

    I was reading in The Daily News. Filomena has more attorney’s than OJ at this point. Of course she says she did nothing wrong..hehe

    Yeah, I agree I don’t see why Seth was with Filomena. She does look like a man from the pictures I saw of her.

    12:12 No I’m not Billy but use to work for Filomena also. You can not believe this Filomena. I was also contacted by the police. Billy is actually working with the FBI today. Tomorrow he’ll be in Beverly Hills to meet CNBC, and Fox News. Thursday and Friday he’ll be deposed by Filomena’s 8 lawyers. He than will be at The Super Bowl.

    It is kinda ironic this whole story is probably the most cutting edge news DB has ever broken.
    Bess you should win a pulitzer for your outstanding work on this (i.e. receiving and posting emails from Billy and adding some funny comments)

    Billy and Heidi both read Bess and love her. That’s why Billy works with Bess. Actually death threats came from Filomena on this site so 48hrs and a few others are adding dealbreakers to there stories. Billy says she’s the Jewish Nancy Drew. This is a murder case, but Bess has made it interesting and Billy has never gotten upset with anything Bess has written as far as I know. It is what it is.

  37. Posted by Anonymous | January 29, 2008 at 1:50 PM

    Bill and Heidi both look at Bess’s work. Bill has always said good things about Bess. As far as her comments about him he has told me it is what is. If he didn’t like Bess he wouldn’t be talking to her. Bill refers to Bess as the Jewish Nancy Drew. It was on dealbreakers that Filomena threated to kill Billy Ash so the site will be famous more than it already is..hehe

    Filomena,
    It is so obvious…..u r so translucent. Its a shame seth couldn’t see through your bullshit. I wish he would have gone through the divorce in 06……..What was he thinking? You must of been black mailing him. There is no other explanation as to why he would have stayed with the likes of you. You are truly a piece of shit.

    Bess, I would strongly encourage you to do some extensive research from associated press and many other venues besides Billy Ash’s mouth. On a very reputable prominent News website Heidi Fleiss released a statment saying she had no clue who this man was. Even made a condesending comment about Gays.
    I belive there may be some truth to his story. Yet he is a very good con-artist. He grossly twists and embellishes things to his advantage. Rumor has it that there are documents and taped conversations of him recently making phone calls fraudulently claiming to be certain individuals. I read in chat rooms here and there that they just might surface after he gives his under oath deposition. Perjury also includes manipulating the truth and half lies. Billy Ash will have a rude awakening and have his credibilty destroyed if these rumors come true. I hope these things are just people making it up. If they could you imagine how hard his house of cards would collapse. If I were the major news stations or Filomena I would send P.I.’s or reports to whatever city he is living in and do some poking around.
    If he is being truthful then god bless him. If not I would not want to be him.
    Only time will tell

    Finally, the toxicology results are in. I hear there is a line a mile long to see who will be first to hit the switch as she is in the chair. I would prefer her to suffer. Really enjoy life in jail with her new found friends. Boy, will they have a good time with her. She is done!!!

  56. Posted by Anonymous | February 5, 2008 at 4:13 PM

    First let me tell you that Billy Ash did great at the depostion and told the truth on what he was told happened that night that Seth Tobias was murdered. Billy was not in Florida the night Filomena killed Seth and only knows what Filomena told him. Billy has passed a polygraph. The tox report confirms his story on what he was saying for 5 months. It’s sad that Filomena killed her husband Seth Tobias and her third husband Jay Jacknin told her to use his cell phone when talking to Billy in case her phones were taped. It’s also sad that Jay Jacknin got onthe phone and called Billy from his office, cell and than several times from his home to tell him to lie in probate. That call was taped of Jay telling Billy to lie. It’s very sad that Billy Ash had to hire a private P.I.’s to go and get statements from all past workers of Filomena’s and Jay’s that they pay there workers in cash and won’t give 1099′s and than make threats about taxes when the worker’s don’t do as ordered and Jay’s office represents that area for taxes. Filomena killed Seth. The tox reports are out and his body contained ambien. Jay broke the law and knew he was doing it since he is an attorney. Jay has made claims in the past that Filomena cheated on him, was doing lots of drugs, and threatened to kill him. Filomena killed Seth Tobias. Billy feels very sorry for her but wasn’t going to go to jail and cover up her crime as Jay Jacknin did. God Bless Filomena and I hope she doesn’t get death, since in Florida that is usually the case in this type of murder. Billy is awaiting Jay’s next move before he starts filing massive amounts of law suits against Jay and Filomena, but Billy said the paper work is ready to go. Billy does feel sorry for Filomena’s two youngest kids but a crime is a crime and both of there parents are in the middle of crimes. I hope Filomena doesn’t get death but she did kill Seth Tobias.

  57. Posted by anonymous | February 5, 2008 at 8:31 PM

    Enough of this niceness. Look at the evidence she deserves to suffer. How dare she take the life of an amazing man. Who does she think she is? I hope she gets all that is coming to her and then some. She is guilty……..

  58. Posted by Anonymous | February 6, 2008 at 4:06 AM

    Yes, Filomena killed Seth. I don’t feel Billy Ash should feel sorry at all for Filomena. Look at the horrible things she’s said about him. This women should die for killing Seth Tobias. Who knows she might kill Billy Ash? She’s guilty. God Bless you Billy Ash for doing the right thing and helping the police.

  59. Posted by Beth | February 8, 2008 at 10:53 AM

    The Jupiter police have confirmed the case has been sent to the D.A. February 7. We should hear an answer in 7 to 14 days. Also the M.E. reports are not on line Filomena and Nancy. It was huge amounts of crushed ambien in his system. Filomena murdered Seth Tobias. Look at all the facts.
