ShamWow guy Vince Shlomi charged with violent assault on a prostitute: report
He should have had a few of his "Shamwow's" around to mop up the blood.
Last month, Vince Shlomi, familiar to most as the TV pitchman for the handy household dodads the ShamWow and Slap Chop, got himself into a very messy situation with a hooker at a hotel, according to a police report located by TheSmokingGun.com.
As detailed in the police affidavit, on February 7th Shlomi punched a prostitute several times in the face after she chomped down on his tongue and refused to let go.
The 44-year-old towel and food chopper salesman claimed he met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami nightclub, according to the police report. He then took her back to his hotel room at the ritzy Setai hotel, where he claims to have paid her $1,000 after she "propositioned him for straight sex."
But apparently the business transaction wasn't as neat and tidy as the products he promotes. When Shlomi went to kiss Harris, she "bit his tongue and would not let go," according to the affidavit.
The Slap Chop pitchman then proceeded to punch Harris in the face until she finally released his tongue, the police report states.
He ran, bleeding, to the hotel lobby where security summoned police and both Shlomi and Harris were arrested. Police found $930 in Harris' purse, and reported both Shlomi and Harris smelled of alcohol, according to the affidavit.
When asked if she did, in fact, work as a prostitute, Harris declined to comment to TheSmokingGun.com.
Although prosecutors decided against formally charging either party, Harris told TheSmokingGun.com she is considering a lawsuit against Shlomi.
