Television pitchman Vince Shlomi, better known as the ShamWow Guy who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers, was arrested at a swank Miami hotel last month after a violent confrontation with a prostitute, according to a post Friday on the website The Smoking Gun.
Shlomi, 44, and Sasha Harris, 26, were both arrested, according to police reports.
According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi told police he met Harris at a Miami Beach nightclub on Feb. 7 and took her to his $750-a-night room Shlomi told police he paid Harris about $1,000 and that that when he kissed her, she "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched her several times until she released his tongue.

I knew something like this would happen when he put “You’re gonna love my nuts!” in that slap chop thingy commercial.
Too enthusiastic about his equipment.

If you’re going to get a hooker, don’t get one that bites.

"he paid Harris"
Wouldn't sound better if it were phrased as a contribution, a free will transfer, a sharing, a tax avoidance, a business expense, an investment, etc.....

Some prostitutes have a rule against kissing on the lips. You can do anything but that. Apparently he thought he was “special” and deserved more....well he learned a lesson!

After I saw ShamWow Guy arrested.. I was thinking he was arrested on something pedophile related. He has to be one of the creepiest guys on commercials today. So creepy he has to pay for sex I guess.

Billy May must get much better hookers. He hawks every product there is.
