Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino can once again hit the gym, do his laundry and tan on his own time, after the “Jersey Shore” star was released from federal prison on Thursday morning. Sorrentino had been locked up since January after pleading guilty to one charge of tax evasion in 2018.
“We are elated to finally close this chapter of our life. Thank you to our family, friends and fans for the continuous love and support during this time, it brought us so much peace and comfort,” a spokesperson for Sorrentino told NBC News.
Sorrentino, alongside his brother, Marc Sorrentino, was accused of falsifying tax returns on about $9 million in income. Prosecutors said one trick the brothers used was to deposit slightly less than $10,000 at a time into their back accounts, allowing them to skirt reporting income to the IRS.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino may have more gym and laundry in his future than he ever could have dreamed. As for tanning... It depends on how much time he gets to spend outside. The Jersey Shore star, who returned to the seminal MTV series this year with almost all the rest of his O.G. roommates, has an actual situation on his hands—though at least the end is finally in sight. When he was sentenced to eight months in prison in October, it was the culmination of a years-long legal ordeal that began all the way back in 2014, when he and his brother Marc Sorrentino were indicted on tax evasion charges.

In tonight's episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino opens up about his strained relationship with his brother Frank. The reality star, who is currently facing up to 15 years in prison for tax evasion, revealed he does not talk to his oldest sibling, who goes by Maximo nowadays — and the reason why is heartbreaking. "I don't necessarily speak to my other brother," Mike told co-star JWoww on the MTV series. "He's on Twitter like two or three months ago, saying like, '@tmz I have a story for you,' you know.
