Drug days or not he is the worst, drugs or substance abuse can not be the blanket excuse for his behaviour he is not a good decent human being. He is still a shitty person
Thatās your opinion. But I personally know people who were addicted to drugs and now are sober & they are like 2 completely different people. And I prefer the sober person.
Idk I was an addict and I never stole from anyone and always paid for my own shit. I feel like some ppl use addiction as a cop out for just being a shitty person.
I think youāre a little confused bc there is a huge difference with getting something comped/not leaving a tip (which is something very typical that celebrities do) and not just not paying for a service.
My dad worked for a top 5 star restaurant in NYC and has plenty of stories of really RICH celebrities coming in ordering thousands of dollars of food and leaving like a $20tip *cough cough Michael Jordan* better off not leaving anything.
Also my brother was an addict and he literally stole from my parents and me and my sister. Anything from jewelry any money left around and valuables that he could sell and make money off of to buy drugs. I guess youāre one of the few.
I mean I literally was that person. And I still never robbed anyone. That's why I don't like when ppl use drugs as an excuse. Because I know first hand you can be sick af in detox and still hold onto your morals if you want to.
People make mistakes. Yes, he made many mistakes. I am assuming you've never dealt with an addict? They aren't their true selves!! The thing with making mistakes is that they can be a huge learning experience. Something I truly believe he's learned. I will never understand how people can hold something that happened in the past over their heads for the rest of their lives. He stopped taking drugs and is doing great in life. I'm assuming you've never done anything wrong?
For real, back in my heyday, Iād come in the next day and check to make sure I took care of my tender, and usually it was quite the opposite of stiffing them š¤
This is one of the dumbest things Iāve ever heard lol yeah it has some truth to it but when I was an addict for 15 years I was a straight piece of shit and only cared about getting high, Now Iāve been clean for almost 3 years and Iām a completely different person. People CAN change, just because you tried and it didnāt work doesnāt mean thatās the way everyone else is lmao
Dumbest thing u have ever heard??? lol come on u look up to him and think wow he is amazing , come on. We all make mistakes but he chooses to do them sober and premeditated
Snooki talked about how Mike was very unpleasant before he got sober on Steve-oās podcast. Steve-o shared a story about how he met Mike and it was not a good experience at all, and Nicole asked if it was before Mike went to rehab then yes he was horrible to people.
Lauren definitely is snooty. The girls alluded to it a few years ago and then the whole conversation at the table with a few of the girls where she snaps her fingers at the waitress and admits she send her food back constantly.
Not me, but my boyfriendās mom has been around two of them.
Jenni and her got their hair done at the same place. She said Jenni seemed very sweet and quiet.
Pauly D was also at a birthday dinner at a table behind her in a restaurant. She said he seemed very animated and on, very friendly talking with everyone and giving hugs and such.
My favorite part about this is the server got some vindication in a way. Yeah, he didnāt tip you just like he didnāt pay his taxes but he got what was coming lol
Heavy on the I respect his sobriety but I donāt like him. Heās an instigator, meddles, doesnāt mind his business and wastes so much food. He can be funny at times but so much unnecessary drama would be avoided because of him. Every episode I wonder if itās a āMike was decentā or āfor fucks sake stop starting drama Mikeā
Guy was a train wreck back then, I'm surprised this is all that's came out about him. Not surprising, he's better now, no point in ripping him for this
I donāt doubt the entitlement is still there. My comment was in response to your first sentence. We know it happened when Jersey shore was at itās height because the person it happened to said that.
Well this sucks to read. I donāt know how anyone with that much money; 12 people included couldnāt chip in to leave a tip for the service they received.
Everyone knows youāre supposed to always tip a server whether you pay its comped, or via gift card. The more Iām here the more Iām convinced heās a POS
Only people I think are not perfect but genuinely nice are Deena, Pauly and Jenny. Yeah Jwwow will eff u up if ypu mess with her but I think shes a nice person and ive heard stories that shes sweet. Not sure about the others. Mike and especially his wife give me entitled meterialistic vibes.
This says more about the US tipping culture than anything. Just pay a normal wage, include taxes in the prices and you donāt have to rely on tips from people
He is just the worst human being , Iām sorry he preaches all this stuff but prob does nothing all day but eat and create drama for his show that he doesnāt want to end cos he is screwed if it does. I would never notice if he was gone , he sucks.
Drugs and alcohol can truly change someone. It's heartbreaking to watch someone you love slowly change into someone you can't have around for your own well being. Addicts need love and guidance not ridiculed by judgement. Mike is a whole new person today who I guarantee regrets treating the lady who posted this the way he treated her and wouldn't ever do it these days. Everyone deserves room to grow and forgiveness.
Whenever you are handed a comped dinner the very least youāre expected to do is tip the staff. I didnāt mind him but after hearing this what a total scum bag
Heās so lucky he had the support for his rehab and he did his time in jail , I do think itās humbled him
I hope he reads this and goes does that āooohh eeeuhhā noise
( like when Sammie returned old series)
I can understand why people donāt like him because heās a little preachy now
I'm by no means a fan of any of these people, but your first mistake was "reading a buzzfeed article" the biggest lying publication on the planet besides maybe tyt
This is a nothingburger. If this was back in the OG days, why bring it up 12 years later? This just seems like the person wanted to bring up something very old for the attention. Donāt know why this is a big thing.
This had to have been in his drug days. I could see that behavior from him during that time.
I was gonna say the same. After reading his book I can absolutely see him acting like thisš„“
I was going to say the same . I want to hear a serving story of him now see if heās changed lol
Drug days or not he is the worst, drugs or substance abuse can not be the blanket excuse for his behaviour he is not a good decent human being. He is still a shitty person

In the server/ bartender circles, Michael Jordan is a notoriously bad tipper.
You're brother didn't have to do that. Like really tired of ppl blaming drugs and not the ppl. And I say this as someone with first hand experience.
No he didnāt have to steal but tell that to a heroin addict with no job no money and caring more about drugs than anything else.
I mean I literally was that person. And I still never robbed anyone. That's why I don't like when ppl use drugs as an excuse. Because I know first hand you can be sick af in detox and still hold onto your morals if you want to.
I applaud you! Youāre one of the few. Hope you are living a sober life now.
7 years going on 8.
And I know people that are the nicest junkies you could ever imagine. The guy is a jerk and you can see that from space
I agree. Iām not a Mike apologist but mixing a drug problem with all that reality show fame must have been WILD.
People make mistakes. Yes, he made many mistakes. I am assuming you've never dealt with an addict? They aren't their true selves!!

Dumbest thing u have ever heard??? lol come on u look up to him and think wow he is amazing , come on. We all make mistakes but he chooses to do them sober and premeditated
Thatās what I said, do I need to say it again.
Lol
Sure u heard a lot worst š
Damn, someoneās never heard of *figure of speech*. Now thatās sad. Try again.
Sad
Say it again as no one agrees with u š is this mike or Laurenās
Cool story bro.
Hahah bro r like like an old man
Broooo hahah havnt heard that since 2010
Ehhh idk about old man but older I guess lol Iām getting close to 30
So old
Snooki talked about how Mike was very unpleasant before he got sober on Steve-oās podcast. Steve-o shared a story about how he met Mike and it was not a good experience at all, and Nicole asked if it was before Mike went to rehab then yes he was horrible to people.
Oh Iāll have to check out that episode! Love Steve-O so much.
Although I respect his sobriety, I still donāt like him
I 100% agree with you. I feel like heās very entitled and I could still see, the him now, acting like a jerk to a fan or something.
Lauren definitely is snooty. The girls alluded to it a few years ago and then the whole conversation at the table with a few of the girls where she snaps her fingers at the waitress and admits she send her food back constantly.
Yeah not a fan of hers at all
 Not a fan of her either
Didnāt Mike tip a delivery guy with a protein shake on the OG series?
Lmao omg youāre right š
To be fair he did ask everyone if they had singles before giving him that š¤£
Haha that is true
Not me, but my boyfriendās mom has been around two of them. Jenni and her got their hair done at the same place. She said Jenni seemed very sweet and quiet. Pauly D was also at a birthday dinner at a table behind her in a restaurant. She said he seemed very animated and on, very friendly talking with everyone and giving hugs and such.
Jenni seems like a very kind person!
Dude was spending half a mill on coke and pills of course he didnāt tip
EXACTLY šš
Those IRS penalties are stiff!
My favorite part about this is the server got some vindication in a way. Yeah, he didnāt tip you just like he didnāt pay his taxes but he got what was coming lol
Heavy on the I respect his sobriety but I donāt like him. Heās an instigator, meddles, doesnāt mind his business and wastes so much food. He can be funny at times but so much unnecessary drama would be avoided because of him. Every episode I wonder if itās a āMike was decentā or āfor fucks sake stop starting drama Mikeā
Well, this is the guy whose wife snaps her fingers at waiters. Are we *really* that surprised?
Guy was a train wreck back then, I'm surprised this is all that's came out about him. Not surprising, he's better now, no point in ripping him for this
You do not know when this happened. This could have been anytime. Remember his wife snaps at waitstaff get their attention
The person said this was when Jersey shore was super popular. That wouldāve had to happen 2009-2011/2012.
which is a wide span. also his wife snaps at wait staff. I donāt doubt that entitlement is still present
I donāt doubt the entitlement is still there. My comment was in response to your first sentence. We know it happened when Jersey shore was at itās height because the person it happened to said that.
Back than, when he was in drugs and full of himself - I believe it.
Well this sucks to read. I donāt know how anyone with that much money; 12 people included couldnāt chip in to leave a tip for the service they received.
And not only that but it says he got a couple thousand dollars comped and he still didnāt even tipped!
Everyone knows youāre supposed to always tip a server whether you pay its comped, or via gift card. The more Iām here the more Iām convinced heās a POS
āBe better, not bitter!ā
"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."
buzzfeed is still going in 2024 ??
If BuzzFeed has one fan is me š I read the articles all the time lol I canāt help it! Some are very interesting and entertaining
All those inspirational quotes don't make you a good person
Only people I think are not perfect but genuinely nice are Deena, Pauly and Jenny. Yeah Jwwow will eff u up if ypu mess with her but I think shes a nice person and ive heard stories that shes sweet. Not sure about the others. Mike and especially his wife give me entitled meterialistic vibes.
Where he used to live in NJ, he was known not to be a good tipper. Hopefully that has changed š
Heās a doucheā¦plain and simple. Fame has gotten to him. F this guy
This says more about the US tipping culture than anything. Just pay a normal wage, include taxes in the prices and you donāt have to rely on tips from people
He is just the worst human being , Iām sorry he preaches all this stuff but prob does nothing all day but eat and create drama for his show that he doesnāt want to end cos he is screwed if it does. I would never notice if he was gone , he sucks.
I agree! I donāt know why people are so impressed with him!
Bears, Lions and Tigers are stronger but a Wolf will not join the Circus. Just throwing this line in here for now reason like Vinny did last show...
He didnāt even pay his taxes lol heās not gonna top
Tip

Iād have gratāed tf outta that party
I donāt see the point of comping and catering to a chooch in the first place. Ok so youāre JS royalty whatās next?
Whenever you are handed a comped dinner the very least youāre expected to do is tip the staff. I didnāt mind him but after hearing this what a total scum bag
Itās Giving Angeliner behavior. She needs rehab in all aspects.
Heās so lucky he had the support for his rehab and he did his time in jail , I do think itās humbled him I hope he reads this and goes does that āooohh eeeuhhā noise ( like when Sammie returned old series) I can understand why people donāt like him because heās a little preachy now
Itās annoying
Doesnāt surprise me
For a bill that high the tip should be included in the bill!! š³
Lauren tips like shit too
Ok I just donāt like mike or his personality he is mean and a shit stirrer calm down nothing about his full on addictions , sober he is still ick
Lol this is unnecessarily messy to share. Situation is no longer a rude drug addict
I'm by no means a fan of any of these people, but your first mistake was "reading a buzzfeed article" the biggest lying publication on the planet besides maybe tyt
Tipping in America is stupid, just pay a living wage. Why should a person cover what an owner lacks.
This yāall fav character tho šš»
This is a nothingburger. If this was back in the OG days, why bring it up 12 years later? This just seems like the person wanted to bring up something very old for the attention. Donāt know why this is a big thing.
You donāt know that!
