Transgender Dancer. She gained fame for her May 2, 1997 arrest when Los Angeles Police officers followed and pulled over a Toyota Land Cruiser after watching Shalimar enter the vehicle. The driver was actor Eddie Murphy. Murphy was questioned before being released because nothing illegal had occurred; however, Seiuli was arrested for an outstanding warrant for prostitution and sentenced to 90 days in jail. The story made international news, with the tabloid The National Enquirer paying Shalimar's fifteen thousand dollar bond in exchange for details on her arrest. Murphy claimed he was just being a "good Samaritan" by offering Seiuli a ride home. He denied any premeditated intention to solicit a sex worker and denied knowing Seiuli was a "male prostitute." Murphy hired Hollywood private eye Paul Barresi to help defuse the scandal. Due to Seiuli's rising celebrity status, she filmed an erotic movie and left prostitution to become the House Madame of the nightclub, 7969, in which she performed erotic routines as a dominatrix with live snakes. Actress Demi Moore and actor Charlie Sheen reportedly attended her shows.
