For instance, Shlomi was arrested and slapped with a felony battery charge in February 2009 for allegedly pummeling a prostitute at a hotel in Miami Beach, Florida.
According to the arrest affidavit, Shlomi kissed a hooker he had met earlier at a nightclub. Shlomi told police that the hooker bit his tongue and would not let go, so he punched her in the face several times. The prostitute reportedly suffered facial fractures and numerous lacerations. Prosecutors ultimately dropped the case.
Two years later, Shlomi’s former personal assistant sued him in a separate case, alleging he stalked and emotionally abused her, made unwanted sexual advances, and at one stage offered to buy her eggs, reported CBS News.
In 2013, Shlomi told NBC News that he was cleaning up his act, stating, “People understand you make mistakes in life.”
“Hopefully I won’t make another mistake,” he added.
Shlomi has reportedly not yet formalized his intention to run with the Federal Election Commission.
