The Situation Facing $1 Million Lawsuit

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jul 9th 2011 02:30PM

Yet another 'Jersey Shore' cast member is facing a lawsuit with a very hefty price tag. Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino's former mangers are suing the reality star for $1 million.

What caused their business relationship to sour? According to TMZ, Gotham NYC Entertainment is claiming Sorrentino breached their contract when he fired them in May for "lack of performance."

The management company says the 'Jersey Shore' star failed to give them the required 30-day notice to fix any problems before he terminated their services.

Gotham says they have served as Sorrentino's managers since 'The Jersey Shore' premiered on MTV in 2009 and have helped him take "his career from relative obscurity to become an international celebrity."

The Situation isn't the only MTV star facing a lawsuit. His 'Jersey Shore' castmate Paul 'Pauly D' DelVecchio was slapped with a $4 million lawsuit by a Connecticut DJ earlier this month.

Though the $1 million suit is looming over his head, Sorrentino most likely has the cash to shell out should he lose. The reality star reported made bank filming the fourth season of the MTV show in Italy, bringing in $100,000 per episode.

But Sorrentino might not be fist pumping at the beach for much longer. According to new reports, The Situation has decided to leave the infamous shore house early -- bailing on the fifth season of the reality shore just like fellow cast member Vinny Guadagnino did last week.

I bet they're not the first or the last to be disappointed by him.

His 15 minutes of fame are about to expire. Flashing your abs anywhere except of "jersey Shore" won't get you much.

How can he be so stupid to think that he will find work anywhere else for 100000 a week. He will never make it with those looks as anything but a gay porn actor and that won't pay nearly what he's getting now. Unbelievably dumb move.

He would never make it as a gay pron star. There is not one gay person I know who thinks he is hot. Also just from what people say, his wee willie winkie ain't up to par for porn and nor is his performance inthe bedroom.

The only people who say "joisey" in JERSEY are either imports from NY or BENNY's from North Jersey who give us a bad name!

By kiki

If it wasn't for us "bennys," Joisey would have gone bankrupt years ago. Watch your mouth!

By calabaza00

People from NJ don't say "Joisey." In my experience, the people who say it that way have either never been to NJ, and/or have watched too many episodes of "The Sopranos."

By me

Sounds like The Situation has a bit of A Dilemma. Anybody want to start a collection for this loser?

Hell no.

Who should I feel sorry for? An absolutely talentless nobody or the folks who got at least 10% of the profits from shoving an absolutely talentless nobody down the publics throat? I think that the answer is pretty clear. Nobody.

By plstiemeup

The last i heard was that this was the last season for this cast. & next season they are bringing in a whole new cast.
