Looks like “The Situation” is in a situation.
Michael Sorrentino, best known for his role on the MTV reality series “Jersey Shore,” and his brother Marc Sorrentino are expected in court Wednesday to face charges they didn’t pay taxes on $8.9 million in income.
“Michael and Marc Sorrentino filed false tax returns that incorrectly reported millions made from promotions and appearances,” said U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman.
“The brothers allegedly also claimed costly clothes and cars as business expenses and funneled company money into personal accounts,” Mr. Fishman said. “The law is absolutely clear: telling the truth to the IRS is not optional.”
The reality TV star could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
