Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino may have completed his prison term, but he remains positive about Todd and Julie Chrisley receiving their full and unconditional pardons from the government. Instead of harboring resentment, he chooses to celebrate their new opportunity for redemption.
Despite having endured an 8-month prison sentence for tax evasion—having repaid over $100,000 in restitution—Mike insists he won’t let the Chrisleys’ pardons derail his commitment to his daily routine of GTL (Gym, Tan, Laundry). He acknowledges the situation but believes in focusing on personal growth rather than dwelling on perceived injustices.
Mike shows empathy for the Chrisley family, articulating to TMZ that having loved ones incarcerated is profoundly challenging. He emphasizes that when one family member serves time, it affects the entire family unit, highlighting the emotional burden they all carry.

Clarifying any misconceptions, Mike expressed that he would have graciously accepted a pardon from former President Donald Trump back in 2019. However, he maintains that he has no regrets about his experience in prison, which he believes has contributed to his personal growth and development as an individual.
In his conversation with TMZ, Mike acknowledges that many may question the fairness surrounding the Chrisleys’ pardons. Yet, he emphasizes that he is not interested in measuring his success against others. As a strong advocate for second chances, he believes the Chrisleys now have a vital opportunity to make amends and rectify their past mistakes.
When discussing the Chrisleys’ potential return to reality television, Mike is fully supportive. He believes that diving back into production is crucial—not merely for the sake of fame, but to authentically share their journey, including both the triumphs and the tribulations they face.
The essence of Mike’s message is clear: he is not focused on the perceived successes or failures of others, regardless of the surrounding controversies. Just hours before the premiere of Season 8 of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation”, he confidently stated, “I’ve served my time… Seeing someone else receive a full unconditional pardon reminds me to stay in my lane and run my own race. I’m genuinely happy for the Chrisley family.”

For context, Todd and Julie Chrisley were serving a combined 19-year sentence in federal prison after being convicted of conspiring to defraud community banks out of over million in loans. Remarkably, both served just over two years before receiving their pardons.
Trump issued their pardons on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday, they were already on their way back to reunite with their family members.
