APRIL 5--A young model who worked as a personal assistant for Vince Shlomi--the TV pitchman responsible for the ShamWow and Slap Chop products--alleges that he wanted her to be his “love slave,” and offered to buy her eggs for $20,000 and pay her to sleep in his bed with him, according to a federal lawsuit.

Jennifer Kosinski, 23, also charges that Shlomi stalked her ex-boyfriend, used binoculars to watch her while she was on a Florida beach, and, when she sought to visit a relative stricken with cancer, he told her, “Why don’t you just see him when he’s in the grave.”

Kosinski, pictured at right, worked for Shlomi, 46, for about nine months before being terminated in April 2010. In her U.S. District Court complaint, which was filed April 1 in Miami, Kosinski contends that she was canned after refusing to show a jealous Shlomi a text message that he thought was sent by a man.

The lawsuit seeks unpaid wages, and accuses Shlomi of civil battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The complaint does not specify monetary damages. Through an assistant, Shlomi directed a reporter to speak with his attorney about the complaint. Lawyer Joe Shull told TSG, “We’ll have no comment at this moment.”

Kosinski, who can be seen in this selection of modeling shots, began working as a customer service rep for Shlomi’s company in August 2009, but her job responsibilities quickly expanded, according to the complaint. After the lease to her New York City apartment expired, Kosinski moved to Miami Beach, where she became Shlomi’s personal assistant (and lived rent-free in a spare bedroom in his $3.6 million oceanfront South Beach condominium).

Along with cleaning Shlomi’s home, shopping for his groceries, and cooking his meals, Kosinski contends that she also handled customer service responsibilities and had to attend “dinners, parties, and events with him.” For this she was paid $4500 monthly.

While chaperoning Shlomi at parties, Kosinski claims that she had to make sure that her boss “did not drink too much and did not get into trouble.” Shlomi, she added, did not handle alcohol well, witness his bloody February 2009 confrontation with a prostitute.

Shlomi’s behavior, Kosinski claims, grew more “bizarre and inappropriate.” Though she made it clear that their relationship would remain platonic, Kosinski alleges that a controlling Shlomi pressured her to become romantically involved. “As part of this pressure, Shlomi offered Kosinski money to sleep in the same bed and for her eggs,” according to the lawsuit. “Shlomi offered Kosinski $20,000 and a paid one month vacation for her parents to travel the world in exchange for her eggs.”

When Kosinski rebuffed Shlomi’s advances, he allegedly called her a “bitch” and a “cunt,” specifically because she “would not tell him the ‘secret formula’ that he claims existed for her to like him in a romantic manner.”
