One such instance was the Hollywood Domino & Bovet 1822’s 8th Annual Pre-Oscar Gala in February 2015, where they were photographed together. The last media report on her dates back to her and Vince Offer’s divorce, when she had sought legal and physical custody of their then-4-year-old daughter.
Offer has remained single since then. He has not publicly been linked with anyone after his high-profile divorce.
The 2009 Scandal With Sasha Harris
In February 2009, Offer was involved in a high-profile incident in Miami Beach, Florida, where he was arrested for allegedly battering a sex worker named Sasha Harris after she bit his tongue during an encounter. Harris claimed that Offer punched her multiple times, while he alleged she robbed him.
Both were charged with felony battery, but prosecutors dropped the case in June 2009, citing insufficient evidence. Offer later described it as a “12-hour drinking binge”
