Jersey Shore‘s The Situation (real name Mike Sorrentino) said in a statement released today that he is “saddened” by the online video tirades released by his estranged father, Frank Sorrentino, earlier this week. In a series of bizarre videos, first seen on TMZ, the elder Sorrentino claims, among other things, that his son “abandoned” his family after finding Jersey Shore fame. In a second video, Frank Sorrentino claims the TV personality was fired from one of his jobs for inappropriate sexual conduct.
The Situation released the following statement regarding the claims:
Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s father has unfortunately decided to go public with some statements regarding Mike Sorrentino to garner himself media attention. Mike is extremely saddened by his estranged father’s actions and the Sorrentino family, Marc, Frank, Jr., Melissa and their mother Linda, remain united with Mike under these hurtful circumstances. We are not offering any further comment at this time and are seeking the advice of legal counsel.

Thank you.
Exactly.
I CARE! I do! I love The Situation Room! It’s where I get all my news! I have no idea why someone would do this to Wolf Blitzer, but it’s wrong! WRONG! Wolf, we here at the On Donner, On Blitzer fan club stand 100% behind you. Hey, Wolf Blitzer’s dad, stop being a jerk!
OK #1 Fan, that got me. I almost spewed my Rice Krispies on my computer monitor.
I see what you did there.
Apple doesn’t fall far from the attention whoring lack of self respecting tree…
u should care bout the mentally ill=his dad.
HAHAHA why does this make me laugh (?)
^but yea, exactly, who the F cares?
I had no idea Michael Lohan was The Situation’s father.
Hahahaha!! That’s funny.
The Fame Ho’ing apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Yeah, but this explains why the fruit is so rotten…
Hahah this guy talking calling someone else an attention grabber??? That is funny!
Personaly don’t care for Mike, but he seems more of adult than his dad.
I do like him, and you’re right about him being more adult than his dad.
What an AWFUL thing to do.
i bet the situation’s junk smells like a dead skunk’s butthole
Now, I tol you, jo bob, leave that critter alone. Ain’t no one tol you to put your fingers up its poor, dead butthole.
I hate this d-bag mostly because he’s forced to me empathise with “The Situation.”
My sentiments exactly.
Wow, he really took the high road…
I love it. I watched both videos. I want to have a beer with this guy and hear stories about “the old neighborhood”. He should be a stop on a tour of the Boroughs.
Sitch, you’re on blast.
I hope Mike doesn’t give his dad one DOLLAR – obviously his dad is blackmailing him. Who cares what he says about him, don’t give in to that awful parent or it will continue.
Plus, the story he told was stupid and didn’t make Mike look bad anyyway; actually it made his dad look bad.
Legal counsel? For what?
Jersey Shores is the worst show on TV greatvacationspots.net and gossipmagazineonline.com a total piece of junk, only east coast low life watch it
Unfortunately,everyone has a family member who’s a jealous hater.
