Jersey Shore’s Pauly D Sued By Former Talent Agency

The cast of Jersey Shore seems to be running into their fair share of troubles lately. Is that a sign of success or arrogance? Snooki's had to give up her partying ways because she is pregnant, The Situation has spent time in rehab because of an addiction to pain pills and now it's Pauly D's turn.
A lawsuit was filed today alleging he is refusing to fork over commissions he earned on the hit MTV show for the last two years to his former talent agency ICM. In those two years the DJ has earned $4 million with $370,000 in commissions being owed by him.
THR is also reporting that that amount will most likely go up because they helped seal the day for the next season in addition to the last two. In 2010 ICM secured a deal that saw Pauly D's salary increase. Despite him firing the firm on May 5, 2011 they maintain that:
"standard custom and practice in the entertainment industry that talent agencies are entitled to post-termination commissions on all deals they negotiate for their client."
Pauly D's lawyer sent a letter to THR:
"We are surprised by ICM’s contention that it is due commissions after ICM was terminated in favor of William Morris Endeavor. ICM was paid for its services. It is even more disappointing that an agency like ICM would choose to take advantage of its former relationship with a client and disclose his confidential business affairs to the public in disregard of any duties it owes as a talent agency."
Of all the cast of Jersey Shore, Pauly D's career seems to be continuing and not slowing down.
