Mike The Situation Sorrentino is in rehab for prescription pills. Our friends at Radaronline.com confirmed that the greasy guy with the wash board abs checked himself into rehab for pill addiction.
He released the following statement, “I want to set the record straight. I have voluntarily taken steps to get control of a prescription medication problem I had due to exhaustion. I have spent the past several weeks getting treatment for this problem and recuperating from my work and appearance schedule. I appreciate my fans support and love you guys.”
An insider told Radar that “Mike had become dependent on prescription pills to counter-act his hard partying lifestyle, which included illegal substances. He was in a vicious cycle of not sleeping because of the [drugs] he was taking, so he began using prescription pills to help him sleep. Mike would refer to the prescriptions pills as ‘downers.’ The good news is that he was the one that wanted to get help and checked into rehab. Hopefully with the proper treatment, Mike will be able to lead a sober life.”
So will Mike return to film the sixth season of the Jersey Shore? The source adds that, “It’s unclear right now if Mike will be part of the cast when filming resumes this summer, he has told people he absolutely wants to do it, but it’s just too soon to be able to say definitively if he will be at the shore this summer.”
Because Mike is such a popular part of the show, I highly doubt he’s going to give up any money because of rehab. Radar is also saying that Mike obviously isn’t going to be taking rehab seriously considering he is unwilling to turn down club appearances or any amount of money that supports his lavish lifestyle.
“Mike doesn’t want to give up his paid club promotional appearances: he loves the attention that he gets from the ladies and the money is great. Mike leads a very expensive life and he doesn’t want his lifestyle to suffer because of his decision to go to rehab. He is very upset that stint in rehab has become public knowledge, because he doesn’t want it to affect his bottom line. Mike’s brother handles his club appearances and he has been telling club managers that Mike has no plans on giving up the nightlife.”
That sure sounds like someone who isn’t serious about getting well.
