A very bad family situation, indeed.

One day after Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's father, Frank, announced he is writing a tell-all book based on his son's dark past, the 28-year-old Jersey Shore star tells Us Weekly that he is "extremely saddened by his estranged father's actions."

Titled Confrontation With Situation, Frank promises the book will be an explosive look at the MTV reality star's life before he hit it big.

"I'm calling Mike on his sh*t," Frank says in a press release. "I've covered up for Mike his entire life, and when I needed his help, he left me hanging. I think people should know what I know. Hardcore partying, drugs, sex, crime elements, you name it, it's in there."

To complement the book, Frank also filmed a series of YouTube videos, where he dissects everything from his son's Jersey Shore castmates to a purported sex tape involving Mike.

"Some of it is funny, some of it you won't believe, and underneath it all, well, it's a hell of a situation, and I think you know what I mean," Frank says. "Based on what he did to me, my attitude is 'f*ck the little f*ck,' and I'm not holding anything back."

According to the Jersey Shore star's rep, Frank "has unfortunately decided to go public to garner himself media attention. The Sorrentino family -- Marc, Frank, Jr., Melissa, and their mother Linda -- remain united with Mike under these hurtful circumstances."

Don't get the fascination with Mike's abs. I see men at the park working out with way better abs than his.

I'm sorry I did not exploit my son for money like I should have so I will so I well lie, defame, short-change and sell my son down the river and make some money and fame doing it. That sums it up for Feckless Frank.

Wow, sounds like somebody is mad about not getting a piece of the profit. Mike is 28-29 years old. It sounds like he has done the same things as any other 20 something does in America. And so what? Mike is a grown up who can make his own decisions, this guy sounds as stand up as Michael Lohan.

Frank, You sound like the biggest D**K of a father! I'm convinced that you were a bad role model of father who more than likely verbally abused Mike. You were suppose to take care of Mike, plus love, support, help, etc. him. Quit being so self-centered and the little f**k to Mike. If you were my father, I would be estranged from you too.

Hey Frank! You're pond scum! Sex, drugs, crime elements? Big deal! He's 25!!! LOL! It sounds like Mike has a past not unlike a few kids in America. So now it's big news because he's well-known? Get a life for yourself instead of trying to make one off of his name. If he wasn't on the cast of Jersey Shore, who the hell would listen to your garbage? I'll tell you - no one. Mike ought to just tune you out and go on about his business. His family and true friends will stand by him. We've all made mistakes. Thank God not all fathers are like you!

"I've covered up for Mike his entire life, and when I needed his help, he left me hanging." Translation? I was a deadbeat dad and when my son hit it big, I expected a huge payday. Egg on my face.

I'm really no fan of the Jersey Shore or it's "stars"..but this is just awful. If you can't count on your parents not to exploit you, who can you count on? What a crap father...
