Vicksburg mayoral candidate admits past as prostitute in brothel

Then days after denying her ties to the brothel, Fondren told WJTV-Channel 12 she and her husband “held top positions” at RAHA Corp., the brothel’s parent company, before selling their stock and leaving the company in the 1990s.

In Friday’s interview with WLBT-Channel 3 and WDBD-Channel 40, Fondren said she and her husband owned the brothel before selling it in 1992 and expanded on her background.

“I was a working girl in a legal brothel over 30 years ago,” Fondren said.
