The Jersey Shore star got in a brawl with his brother...
Mike Sorrentino's "situation" is about to get a whole lot calmer. The Jersey Shore star is being forced to take anger management classes following his involvement in a brutal beat-down outside of his family's New Jersey tanning salon. Mike accepted the classes as part of his sentence for the incident, the Associated Press reported on Monday.
The fight, which took place on June 17, was captured on video by Splash News. Mike told the photographers that he was fighting with his older brother, Frank, because Frank "was not running the store correctly, so I had to go in there and clean house, in more ways than one."

Mike was arrested and later posted bond for his release. His brother was not arrested after the incident.
If the Jersey Shore star attends the required classes, he may see the charges against him lessened, the AP reports. The case will be reevaluated in three months.
Mike, Frank and other members of the Sorrentino family are currently starring on their own reality show. The Sorrentinos, which premiered on July 15, follows Mike and his family as Mike attempts to establish himself as a successful actor.
Frank has denied reports that his fight with Mike was staged for the show.
"Our fight just happened to make national headlines," he told E! Online. "Everyone was asking us if it was for the show, but it wasn't. We were wrapped already. There were no cameras filming it."
