MTV is taking heat for a portion of the Jersey Shore Reunion Special in which Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is seen flirting with a person in a club ... and the castmates are heard saying, "if you have to think about it, it's a tranny. Stay away."

While showing this clip, MTV also cut to Jersey Shore's Ronnie wearing a dress. The host of the special, Julissa Bermudez then says, "Who was that tranny? What's up with that?!"

MTV issued the following apology to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation:

    "We appreciate GLAAD voicing concern about the “Jersey Shore” reunion special. The segment in question was certainly not meant to be insensitive, but in retrospect we realize that it was offensive to some viewers. We sincerely apologize."


The network has also agreed to edit out the offensive material from future re-runs of the reunion special.
