The man dubbed “the Sultan of Sleaze,” publicist David Hans Schmidt, was found dead in his Phoenix home on Friday from an apparent suicide.
Schmidt plead guilty last month to attempting to extort Tom Cruise, using stolen wedding pictures and was under house arrest.
Schmidt had become famous in the sex tape industry, and most recently was shopping a sex tape of “Saved by the Bell” star Dustin Diamond, who played Screech.
The lesson here folks. Don’t piss off the Scientologists.
