'The Situation' Sues Abercrombie & Fitch

Jersey Shore” "talent" Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino has filed a lawsuit in Florida Federal Court against Abercrombie & Fitch, charging that the clothing company has infringed on his “Situation” and “GTL” trademarks. The lawsuit comes on the heels of the company’s publicity ploy in August, offering to pay the reality star to no longer wear their apparel.

At the time, A&F sniped it was “deeply concerned” that Sorrentino “could cause significant damage” to its brand’s “aspirational nature.” Sorrentino’s lawyers claim Abercrombie & Fitch “obviously intended to create a false association” with the reality star, who wants $4 million to go away.
