ShamWow Guy In Slap, Chop Bust
TV pitchman battered hooker in South Beach hotel room brawl
http://i.cdn.turner.com/trutv/thesmokinggun.com/graphics/art4/0327092inside1.jpg MARCH 27--Meet Vince Shlomi. He's probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue.

I know what you're thinking. I was thinking it too: that dude is 44?
The story goes on to say that the prostitute is considering filing suit. I guess biting the tongue is one way to provoke someone with deep pockets to punch you in the face repeatedly. It could have been worse, depending on the choice of "intimacy" in the hotel room.

I thought the guys name was Vince Offer.
I wonder if he gives his prostitutes a wet Shamwow when he's done with them.

She looks rough for 26 years old. Looks like meth did a number on her before Vince ever did.

Saying "Let go of my tongue" must be VERY hard to say while someone is biting your tongue.
The law states that you must say
"lep geoowww obv my tunmmm" BEFORE you punch them!!!!! :))

If someone bit my tongue and would not let go I'd punch them too.
Guess she figures that he'll pay her just to get this to quiet down.
This world is full of stupid people with too much money and other stupid people just looking for any way to get their hands on that money.

Yes indeed. 1000 bucks for some overused sex hag? Yup he is not too bright.

I'm betting that her instructions to him prior to the incident was "no tongue"
... and that is almost what he got. ;)

That's what I was thinking, but then I'm like...she messed him up that bad? :)) That guy annoys me. Maybe he shouldn't have offered people his nuts so many times, because that irked me to no end. I can't feel sorry for him. :D :))
