Turn up, we free! Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino was released from FCI Otisville on Thursday, September 12 after serving an 8-month sentence on tax evasion charges. RadarOnline.com has obtained exclusive first video of the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star leaving the New York facility.
In the video, a black escalade could be seen driving out of FCI Otisville. The tinted windows concealed Sorrentino, who was inside the vehicle.
As RadarOnline.com broke, Sorrentino, 37, was released around 8:10am. MTV crew met the reality star as he left the prison.
Sorrentino confirmed the news himself with a GIF that read “Free!” He added, “Turn up we free!!! #freesitch.”
Sorrentino’s wife Lauren, who he married in November 2018, told RadarOnline.com in a statement, “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, We look forward to continuing our life as husband and wife and working on baby situations! We truly believe that the comeback is ALWAYS greater than the setback and we can’t wait to show the world ours.”
The MTV star served an 8-month sentence on tax evasion charges.
As RadarOnline.com reported, his final day in prison consisted of completing paper work, going through an identification process, changing his clothing and more.
Sorrentino isn’t completely off the hook though, as he will have 24 months of supervised release and will have to complete 500 hours of community service.
The MTV star’s sentencing and arrival to Otisville aired on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
