If the occasional heated argument and bruised ego on the reality TV show "Sunset Tan" seem intense, at least there's no spitting.
On Sunday at the LA Sunset Tan in Redondo Beach -- where an episode of the reality TV show was recently taped -- two men allegedly entered the business, with one of them spitting in a manager's face, according to witnesses and a police report.
Adding to the drama, one of the two men is allegedly the owner of a competing tanning salon chain.
"It's like tanning salon wars," said Tony Trutanich Jr., who owns the LA Sunset Tan at 1020 S. Pacific Coast Highway. "He's just really upset that we're opening up and putting him out of business."
Added Trutanich's wife, Anna, who oversees the store and witnessed the incident: "It was shocking."
When asked about the alleged assault, Redondo Beach Police spokesman Sgt. Phil Keenan said, "It sounds like a reality TV show, doesn't it?"
The rest of the story should appear in Wednesday's edition of the Daily Breeze.
