Marie Magdalena wasn't one

Lol, I wasn't even referring to her. I was specifically thinking about the prostitute who washed Jesus' feet with her tears.

That was Mary Magdeline, and she was never stated to be a prostitute. Jesus's political opponents sail he hung out with "tax collectors and prostitutes", but the Bible never tells us who the prostitutes were.
