Shamwow Guy in Bloody Brawl with Sex Worker

Vince Shlomi is best known for his ShamWow infomercials.  Recently while in Miami he had an unfortunate encounter with a sex worker that resulted in both parties being bloodied, battered and arrested. Apologies dear reader for these graphic bloody photos. Alas, I can’t do anything about the fact that the ShamWow guy is a celebrity.

He’s known for hawking a super-absorbent towels on in commercials, but this pitch man found himself in hot water — without the aid of a ShamWow — last month.

ShamWow pitchman Vince Shlomi was arrested Feb. 7 on felony battery charges for allegedly punching a stripper, according to the Web site TheSmokingGun.com.

Police reports obtained by the site claim that Shlomi met 26-year-old prostitute Lenea Harris at a Miami nightclub, and subsequently brought her back to his room at Setai Hotel. Shlomi allegedly paid Harris $1,000 for “straight sex.”

That’s went things took a turn.

Shlomi told police “that he kissed [Harris] when all of a sudden [Harris] bit his tongue and would not let go,” according to the report.

Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue, and then ran to the lobby to call police. Harris suffered several cuts and fractures to her face. Pictures obtained by the celebrity gossip Web site TMZ.com show what appears to be Harris battered and bruised following the incident.
