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 never watched that show; I value my braincells too much. But it's hard not to notice these idiots because they are all over the media. These lunkheads make people from Jersey (which they are not from, by the way) and Italians in general look really bad. I can't wait until their 15 minutes are up.

He is leaving a ......"Job"..... that paid him 100k a week? Plus all the perks /expenses? What else does he have ready and waiting for him that is going to pay that kind of money?. Ha!

By cblue50

You think that with all his money he would get that bulb of a nose fixed. Imagine him and the other morons 5-10 years from now- fat, bald, sloppy.... I can go on and on. Constipation must have been taking a dump when looks were being handed out- 'cause he definitely missed out-looks & acts almost brain damaged to me.

Hey, If a network is that hard up to pay these morons 100 grand an episode, Just think what they would do with some real talent. I hope the show cancels and these so called careers are over..We've got enough stupidity in this world.

I can honestly say I never watched Jersey Shore. These bozo's and bimbo's never made one penny from my viewing what by all appearances is a mindless show for idiots. Something is wrong with America if these types of shows and actors are able to make that much money for basically nothing. There is absolutely no cultural value to them at all.

DOUCHE BAG ARE THE ONLY WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS GUY!

He should be sued for his stupidity.

By dmtnl6ft

well good thing these little jerks aren't part of our Military! Homesick after going to Europe??LOL What a SKIRT! Actually I take that bak. That is degrading to women. They are just 2 ridiculous fools who aren't intelligent enough to know that they have ZERO talent, and the gravy train ends one day. Walk away from crazy money when there is a 10% unemployment rate?? Young and certainly dumb. Seaside and Staten Island are only about 60-75 miles away. That is hilarious. Spoiled , no talent, no future, no education, yeah smart move

The guy is young, and extremely full of himself.
He talks about himself as 'the situation,' but his name is Mike.
It bothers me when I see anyone, talk out of the side of thier mouths like that, its annoying as he##.
I have a feeling, there will be a lot more law suits on him if he does not grow up fast. Being this immature, is not going to work in the business world.
