Despite reports MTV was apprehensive about working with The Sitch again because of his alcoholism issue and subsequent need for sobriety, they have thrown caution to the wind and signed him on for another season of Jersey Shore. He has one small problem, however: a court date in the middle of the mandatory filming. Details below.
Here’s how it all comes together: Situation just filed new legal docs in his ongoing battle with the clothing company over GTL-themed apparel. In the docs, Situation begs the judge in the case to let him skip an impending court date … scheduled for June 14th.
The significance of that date — Sitch says MTV has tapped him to return for another season of “Jersey Shore,” which tapes from May 22nd to July 7th.
Sitch says he’s required to be present at the “Jersey Shore” house 24/7 — so he’d be violating his MTV contract by showing up in court.
Side note: Sitch also says he wants in excess of $10 million from A&F for trademark infringement. A judge has yet to make a decision on the court date issue.
