Offer has remained single since then. He has not publicly been linked with anyone after his high-profile divorce.
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.
