03.30.09 THE SHAMWOW GUY BEAT UP A HOOKER

shamwow1

Vince Shlomi, the enthusiastic TV pitchman best known for his omnipresent ShamWow ads, was arrested in Miami last month after getting into a violent fight with the prostitute he had picked up.  I know:  I’ve been waiting my whole life for this story, too.  The Smoking Gun says:

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. The affidavit… notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face (she is pictured [below left] in mug shots snapped following busts in 2008 and 2005)…

After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops… “Both parties had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons,” police reported.

I guess hookers really are pretty serious about that no-kissing policy.  I wouldn’t know, of course.  The ether always keeps ‘em from discussing protocol.

Anyway, before you go thinking, “Wow, that little hellcat hooker kinda messed ol’ Vincey-boy up,” check out the photos of Harris that TMZ got its hands on.  Shlomi’s like the Ike Turner of johns.

Was he in the wrong here? Maybe, but it was still cruel of the mugshot cop to make him wear her coat.

Playing devil’s advocate here, but what the fuck are you supposed to do if someone clamps down like a banshee on your second most sensitive part?

… And it’s not like you can’t ask her to stop, either.

If I was Shlomi (still cant’ believe that’s actually his name), I wouldn’t ahve paid $1000 for sex. I would’ve offered her $500 and if she acts in THE NEXT TEN MINUTES she’ll get DOUBLE the amount of Shlomi salami!

Leapin_Lizards says:

Still, ever had a hooker bite your tongue? That shit is fucking angering! Vince Shlomi – sticking up for Johns everywhere (and then helping them clean up afterwards)

pimp says:

can you see how this went down? she said no kissing… he’s all drunk & he tried kissing… she said NO KISSING but tried being all like any drunk whore & his drunk arse thought she was playing… he kissed anyway & slid that tongue in there (gak, she’s a whore)… she clamped down enough to get his attention & he said “aaaaa aa aa a aa gaaahhh rek go er eye kung ikch” and started swatting her gourd. furk yes she let go…
for a full G plus room I kiss what I want where I want

and for the record, anyone bites your tongue, you fire for effect.
tongues come off REAL easy
