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.

Hey, Gene, I DID buy my hubby those Shamwow Towels for Christmas.....LOL!!! It was mainly because he's got everything, I had NO idea what to get him, and then the ShamWow guy came on t.v, and I said, that's it! Soooo, I spent like $20 on a big box of those towels.......oh my gosh!!!
Well, I don't regret buying them at all......what a shock this is!

Well, I guess that reinforces my opinion that he was a sleazy salesman. Now he's just a sleazy person.

She bit his tongue? Let me guess, she hated the commercials and just wanted to shut him up!
Gene P. Mar 27, 2009, 10:52pm EDT
Ha ha Nora, do they work pretty well? I prefer buying from the original sleaze ball, Billy Mays! :)

Hilarious. I've never seen the commercials - if it's not Bob the Builder, it's probably not on my TV. :-)
