The prostitute at the center of the Secret Service sex scandal speaks in her first American television interview, calling the agents "stupid brutes" and saying she's "not to blame for being attractive." NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports.
Updated at 8:16 a.m. ET: MADRID, Spain -- A woman identifying herself as the Colombian prostitute at the center of a scandal involving U.S. Secret Service personnel has called the group of agents "stupid brutes" who put partying above President Barack Obama's security.
"These seem like completely stupid, idiotic people," Dania Londono Suarez said in an interview which aired on Monday's TODAY. "I don't know how Obama had them in his security force."
She also accused the agents of "leaving their duty behind" and described them as "stupid brutes."
The scandal broke in April when, in advance of Obama's arrival at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, agents allegedly brought prostitutes to their hotel rooms. One of the men, Suarez told NBC News, refused to pay her for sex so she went to the police.
So far, eight agents have lost their jobs as a result of the incident.
Suarez, 24, said three men who approached and propositioned her and her friends were drinking vodka like it was water.
"They liked to show off their bodies, great bodies, well-defined abs," Saurez said of the men she first met at a nightclub. "They liked attention."
NBC's Kristen Welker talks about the interview given by the woman in the middle of scandal, in which she alleges she did not know the men were Secret Service agents.
The mother of a nine-year-old son said she made it perfectly clear to one that a night with her would cost $800.
"And he accepted. And it was clear," she said.
But in the morning after they had had sex, the man gave her only $50 and ordered her out of the room, Suarez said.
"I am not to blame for being attractive," she told TODAY. "They are to blame -- for leaving their duty behind."

This type of behaviour is a result of a moral vacuum. Into that palce ,that was once dominated by the tradtional Judeo/Christian world view, has come a do what thou will cultural with no guidlines of right and wrong. So why are we surprised when folks behave this way?
Who the hell thought this skank was "attractive?"
It's obvious that the Secret Service could not keep their penis in their pants, they should have just call phone sex instead...at least it's confidential
i laugh at anyone that believes a whore
"Stupid brutes," eh? Thank you, Miss Suarez, for perfectly characterizing so many contemporary American males. It's not that we're a nation of truly stupid people in terms of low intelligence, but that there is little incentive to use the intelligence we have. You can see these macho guys on display every Saturday afternoon during the college football season, making drunken asses of themselves whenever the TV cameras pan over the student section. These are the future leaders of American corporations, the guys who will one day sit on each other's boards of directors and vote themselves fat "retention bonuses." Who is going to rein them in? Certainly not today's complaisant stockholders. If we ever want to change our system of rule by the over-privileged, we need to start by cleaning up Fraternity Row, one college campus at a time.
I think when she was asking for $800, she was asking for $800 US. In Colombia, the currency in use is called Pesos (just like Mexico). 800 Columbian pesos equals about $0.46 in US dollars. She may be cheap, but I don't think she's that cheap. She looks too good to pay 46 cents for, but not nearly good enough to pay $800 US. $50 seems about right, except that they should never have agreed to such an outrageous price in the first place. Just sayin'.........
Back in the 80' and the 90' as an x merchant marine,,durban,capetown,portelizabeth South African are some of the cheapest prostitute,I don't know about now..It was $370 rands for $100 US dollars.They usually ask for $200 rands.
When it comes to prostitution business, $800 for a night is not a whole lot of money. Not only those Secret Service agents involed were stupid, lot of Americans who made comments in this article do not know nothing about the world market either. There is no where in the world you will find a pretty girl like Suarez for $50 a night. You will go to jail for that mistake. Unless you go to dark alleys passing 100 pimps hanging around and f*ck a garbage b*cht. Wake up America and ready to pay more. I travel the world, from Red Light disctrict in Amsterdam Asia, I know something. Some hookers are good to the point you Americans not rich enough to buy them.
Hey TD-789352
You criticize Americans and say that you have traveled the world from red light district's in Amsterdam and Asia.
Well let me inform you as I am Colombian In Amsterdam the whores may be more expensive but in Colombia or other third world countries you can find beautiful hookers for about $25.00 to $50.00 US currency.
This women I am very very sorry to say is not as good looking to make a good living as a whore and there is no way she could ever receive or earn $800.00 from one guy for one night.
To me attractive, beautiful or hot is Halle Berry, Salma Hyak, Carmen Electra, Denise Richards, Jenifer Lopez, Sopia Vergara, Shakira, Thalia and in Colombia you can find beautiful women who look like or just as beautiful working as escorts or prostitutes. This prostitute Suarez isn't that great and probably has a hard time making a living cause she would have to wait till the pretty one are all taken up.
If you think she is attractive or beautiful you must be blind or need really strong glasses.
They try to charge foreigners a higher rate but I speak Spanish fluently and their normal rate is about $25.00 to $50.00 US. That is how much most people non tourist pay. If you speak Spanish or have a friend negotiate for you in Spanish, then that is what it would cast you.
Again the secret service should have waited till after the President left Colombia to party and let loose,
their mistake was to do it before the presidents arrival.
Again everybody this women this whore is a LIAR
I don't think anyone really cares about what they look like, their bodies/female parts are used up cesspools of diseases, there is nothing appealing about prostitution. A man that has to resort to prostitution in this day and age is disturbed/mental, no doubt about it, something seriously wrong with him.
Folks, get a grip. This is nothing but sensationalism and someone reaching for the press. One prostitute who is going to say anything for money. The prez was never or would be in danger. The press screwed a bunch of people that were fully capable of protecting our prez. This whole story is bull nand made a hooker a ton of cash. Those that think otherwise, think about your own lives, what do you do in Vegas? Ladies included. Been there seen that. Again get a grip!
By the way journalist are the biggest prostitutes in the world, no values what so ever, and they are all slime buckets.
Hoorah!!
I didnt catch it at first but at the end she said "the other agents gathered 250.00 dollars a peice" so that she could leave because he basically fell asleep and did not get anything...but her TIME....im sorry but he was a dumb ass....His buddys saw that....but in the end they got @!$%#ed too...because he @!$%#ed it up for all of them too.....BIG lesson in this.......prostitution is not EVER going to be stopped...even America has legalized the oldest profession in parts of America......the bottom line in business especially abroad........PAY up even if you get drunk and pass out...especially under these circumstances....wow...what a dumb ass. This could have EASILY been avoided but sort of glad it did.....too clean this up among the secret service.
I think I see what the president was talking about "Knuckleheads.....LOL!! These were some Youngsters!!!
First of if this lady slept with men that stated they are secret service ..chances are they were not secret service. No real Secret Service agent would risk his position and or the presidents safety for a night of partying with a hooker.
They would perceive this as a test from the higher up's and recant any and all involvement. If this happened to this lady it didn't involve any secret service agents from our country that's for sure. These men are hand picked from the best of the best , honor duty and ability to see what others can not , for their aptitude tests and this kind of behavior just would not happen, nor is it becoming of SS agent LOL SS WOW more and more like Germany every day huh?
Dont be so sure Sherlock....newbies or lonely men can say or do some stupid @!$%# in the name of BRAVADO...when something sexy stirs em up..and showem something they have never seen before....between the whiskey and the tits they can easily become King Kong when they really are'nt...ROFL!
I would imagine that in her line of work this young woman has met her fair share of stupid brutes and if that's what she says they were, i'm willing to believe her. The fact that so many of them have lost their jobs would seem to indicate that the US government thinks they were stupid brutes as well. Her story is certainly colorful and the bit about "escaping" to Dubai was particularly entertaining. Maybe she'll get a book deal and live happily ever after......
Oh she's whoring now.
Drama whoring.
They are probably Russians-you know the Salt thing, thats what killed Princess Diana (head of Russian secret Service) Mir comes down next month ,and we can be Americans again.
if im paying for it its going to be better looking than that and smarter,
Here comes Dania Londono Suarez...masquerading as an $ 800 hooker, marked-up from $ 600, just as recently as yesterday, when she is actually a $ 30 BJ hooker...that's inflation for you !
The involved Secret Service agents should not only get drug tested...they should also get their eyes tested...I don't care how much vodka that you could drink in Columbia, on any give night, you are not going to make THAT hooker pretty !
No "working pro" is worth losing a job for or being made the center of an international scandal.
Showing off their muscle like Weiner's problem which has cost him his job. And it is the same thing.
Please do it in front of their own wife. And they need marital counseling.
I bet she's a lot more attractive when your under the influence , well I hope so.
Never underestimate the power of femine.
The SS agents involved should have, could have, would have but failed miserably by getting involved with a pro like this while on assignment especially in Colombia. On their own vacation time might have been a better choice as long as they pay the agreed price, maybe.
The Prez is still stomping mad.
This is SO SILLY...Imagine an alley trollop from, of all places, the Colombian streets claiming that she is ruined as an "escort"???
Isnt it amazing what the media will do to keep a half-baked story alive...
Hey, man! Pay attention! She is one of the more clever putas that sleazy country has to offer...and she is pissed that she couldnt stiff these stupid gringos for 98% more than she would be worth for a whole week...
Please bury this bit of nonsense before she is invited to the White House to schmooze with other "people of color" who have been screwed by the "white folks"...
This is SOO STUPID!
Oh, BTW...I hope those fellows have been checked for AIDS and the other crotch crawlers that inhabit the back streets of that "Tropical Paradise".....
A whore is still a whore
" Stupid Brutes". This woman is obviously a genius and is pure as the driven snow. Lat's make a celebrity out of her by giving her a platform. By the way, I am sure that she is to be trusted 100% as well. Consider the source folks.
From the comments here - it looks like everyone is believing her. Really? She's a hooker! She's supposed to lie!! And she ain't pretty - maybe in her own mind.
So one wonders where baby daddy is. Or is it because she slipped up once?
Have we been enlightened by any statements from her pimp yet?
