I’ll tell you what I love most about my job: Sometimes I get to type out headlines like these, and they’re real. And I just read them over and over again and think, “My God, is it really my job to type out those words in that order?” But it is. The ShamWow guy. Beat up. A hooker. He beat up a hooker. He did. And then she beat him up back! ZOMG.
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 traveled 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 … After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse. “Both parties had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons,” police reported.
They were both arrested for felony aggravated battery, but prosecutors declined to file formal charges against either.
Still.
The ShamWow guy beat up a hooker.
Money, folks, can’t buy you anything that matters.
This made my day, lol. Shamwow Vince beating a hooker, it doesn’t really get any better than that.
CAN’T.STOP.LAUGHING. He is a fuckface… and they sell Shamwows at Costco now… now I have to go get one.
ShamWow, or ShamOww?
Oh, snap!
lol whoa! this was hilarious until i saw his mugshot, now i feel bad for him.
ps. i just told my boyfriend about this- he just shook his head and said “he’s certainly no billy mays”.
LMAO! Billy Mays rules!
Yeah, I feel like somewhere in the world, Billy Mays is reading about this and feeling very smug.
AAAAAAAAH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<3
How hillarious that the hooker’s name is Sasha! Is there something we should know, Beet? :)
The best part is that my mother always gives “Harris” out over the phone as our last name, since no one can spell our real one.
OMG, that’s terrific.
ShamWows are awesome
Wow…she looks as if she’s enjoying herself. Guess she got the attention she’s been searching for?
So, I know this doesn’t pertain to the article,
BUT, how do I submit a pretti picture for ALL
to see?? I’m totally jealous, especially now that
there are other Jenn’s on here…
Um, this makes me uncomfortable. Especially the mugshot.
I knew there was a reason he creeped me out.
Wait did I read it wrong? Because I thought that she got facial fractures and lacerations and he got his tongue bitten, but in the pics she doesn’t look all that banged up but he looks busted! Oh ShamWow guy, you always creeped me out!
The mug shots are from previous busts in 2005 and 2008.
I guess she didn’t “love his nuts.”
HAHAHAHA!!! BEST. RESPONSE. EVER.
HAHAHAHAHA! BEST. RESPONSE. EVER.

Thank you, Rachel!!! :)
no problem! Sorry for the double post, I thought it didn’t go through the first time since I forgot to add my info. Hope you got it working.
He gave her a SHAM-POW! Right in the kisser!. and I guess kissing wasn’t included in the price. he looks like he’s got a broke jaw and he’s wearing a hospital gown.
You gettin this, camera guy?
Hope he had some of those absorbent towels on hand after she bit his tongue…..
He looks like he’s wearing a hospital gown under his jacket……..lol
Loser!!!
He looks like he’s wearing a hospital gown under his jacket……..what an idiot!! LOL
why is she wearing two different shirts?
Got Meth?
Ahahahahaha, that’s funny =P
… that ShamWow thing seems kinda awesome too
The only part of the story I find suprising is the fact that it was a FEMALE hooker. I thought for sure he went the Ryan Seacrest way…
That’s hilarious. I can’t stand that guy. He’s almost as bad as the Colon Detox weirdo that does the infomercials and talks about looking at his kid’s poop.
I’m very against hitting a woman but under these circumstances I don’t really blame the dumb ass. I’m not going to let some crazy bitch bite my tongue to the point that it’s bleeding and she won’t let go. If that’s the only way to get her to release her bite, then that’s what you have to do. It’s kind of self-defense so I’m sorta surprised they arrested him.
Any by the way.. he got totally ripped off. $1000 for that? She’s MAYBE a $200 whore.
well, you also can’t legally pay hookers for sex, either.
What’s up with his coat?
Did he also mug Huggy Bear from Starsky & Hutch?!
Surely he must have grabbed her coat running out of the hotel with his bleeding tongue.
How embarrassing for him.
“do you come from the land down undaahh?!”
HAD to say it. I love singing that randomly to people.
Can’t you hear the thunder? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew
wow he looks awful!
this has been a crazy couple of years for hookers, that’s for sure.
omg. what a crazy (and pretty cute) hooker! this is pretty much my favorite story of March
See, we are a double standard society. This was self- defense! What was the poor guy supposed to do, let her bite his tongue off?
WTF is he wearing in that photo? looks like a shirt made of shamwows.
My guess is that she expected a “repeat performance”, and he said “You know I can’t do this all night”, and that set her off.
OMG OMG that is soooooooooooooooo……. funny!!!!
i know right!!!!
i know right!!!!
GOOD FOR HIM!!! GLAD SHE GOT HER BEAT!! SHE DESERVED THAT AND MORE!!! DUMNB HOOKER!!!! HE SHULD HAVE KILLED HER!!
