“The Situation’s” Dad Just Got Served – Lawsuit Time!

Well, we’re going to file this one under we saw it coming a mile away.

The bitter mafia style family feud between Jersey Shore icon Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his father Frank “The Confrontation” Sorrentino just got ratcheted up a notch.

The Situation just served legal papers against his own father while he was attending a school charity event in Florida.

Frank “The Douchebag” Sorrentino just tweeted,

“Only Mike would serve his father at a charity event. #FTLF. Getting served in the dunk tank....priceless”

It’s not like it should have been a surprise. Frank has been all over twitter telling everybody about this event, where it was, and inviting people to come out for a day of fun.

Mike on the other hand has been the mature Guido in this battle saying through a rep,

"Mike is extremely saddened by his estranged father's actions. Frank has unfortunately decided to go public, to garner himself media attention. The Sorrentino family, Marc, Frank, Jr., Melissa, and their mother Linda, remain united with Mike under these hurtful circumstances."

Now it looks like The Situation is following up on his intent to ask a Judge to have Frank’s website, videos, and YouTube account removed for using Mike’s likeness and image without permission.

He is also looking to have TheConfrontationSite.com removed because Frank is using it to post harmful and damaging videos about Mike.

We’ve seen it. The site is horrendous. There are broken links everywhere and cheap advertising for lesbian “friends” and advice on how to refinance your mortgage.

The video below is where it all started and we’re not sure how long it will still work, so if it’s broke… we’re not surprised.



Most of the videos on Frank’s YouTube channel have already been removed for violating their terms of service.

We also think MTV is waiting quietly in the wings to see how far Frank is willing to go before throwing their muscle into the mix.

But then again, this gets us one step closer to our “Guido Rat Theory” that InfoStar has suspected all along.

Time will tell. Remember, this is Hollywood – or Jerseywood, and anything can happen, and what you see is rarely the truth.

Do you smell a rat?

Frank ‘The Confrontation’ Sorrentino Videos – We Smell a Rat – A Big Fat Guido Rat

Okay, most of us have seen one of Frank Sorrentino’s videos by now.

Or at least you have probably heard about them.

Frank “The Confrontation” Sorrentino, father of Jersey Shore star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino has just released a series of videos bashing his son.

And he holds back nothing - dropping the F-bomb every three seconds and saying some of the most hurtful things a father could say about his son.

But after watching all the videos, and reading the press release on his web site, we smell a rat - a bag fat Guido rat.

Here is InfoStar’s theory;

We think this is a well-choreographed Guido move, and that both Mike and Frank know exactly what is going on and are in this together to pull out the $$$.

And we think MTV is right smack in the middle of it all.

Mike “The Situation” is currently on location in Italy starting his third season filming for Jersey Shore. He has already announced his own spin-off show but details are lacking and it’s at least a year out.

His father, Frank “The Confrontation” Sorrentino, is shopping a six figure book deal described in a press release as follows:

“MTV’s Jersey Shore Star, 'Mike Sorrentino – The Situation', to be subject of tell-all book, e-book, and YouTube series by estranged father. 'Confrontation With Situation' to be publicized on a global scale. Rights of printed book, e-book, and mobile book offered for sale. Rights for the printed book, digital book, and mobile book are currently being offered on a country and regional basis”.

The press release mentions Mr. Robert Fletcher, the CEO of Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency, a US book marketing, literary agency, and rights company who has been chosen to handle the rights sales and manage the digital marketing efforts.

Okay, follow our logic here.

Put all this bad blood press out there between the two, and let blogs like InfoStar and TMZ chew on it for a while creating a media buzz. Let things blow up in the press with speculation until it looks like there is no way the estranged father and son could ever reconcile and then….. wait for it…….

“MTV announces ‘Confrontation with Situation’ – The explosive last chance reality show for two estranged family members to reconcile and find peace and love again. Based on the best-selling book by Frank Sorrentino.

MTV gives Mike and Frank Sorrentino one last chance to reconcile their relationship – in front of our cameras, in full Guido fashion, for the whole world to see. Can they succeed? Will the family be torn apart forever? Tune in Monday nights to watch ‘Confrontation with Situation.’”

We think the book deal and spin-off show news release is a precursor to MTV creating a REALITY SHOW starring both Mike and Frank Sorrentino under the title, “Confrontation with Situation”.

We knew something didn’t smell right when Mike didn’t say a word about the videos, not even one press release. And Frank looks awfully comfortable in the videos with his granite counters and bottles of wine.

Do you smell a rat? Can you see it? Would you watch it?
