Snooki quit 'Jersey Shore Family Vacation' because of Angelina: 'It was all unnecessary'
Forgive her, show producers, she’s blowing smoke.
An impromptu 1 a.m. confessional by Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi on the Thursday, Oct. 24, episode of MTV's “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” sent Angelina Pivarnick off the rails.
Nicole was addressing how much she didn't like Angelina in the confessional when Angelina busted in.
“No Angelina, no, you're coming in here very aggressive,” Nicole said. “I don't like it.”
“You had so much to say in confessional,” Angelina said. “Do you want me to get down on my knees and say everything's OK? What's going on?”

The camera, ironically off-camera, then hit Angelina in the face in the midst of the bustle.
“You know what?” said Nicole as Angelina was whacked. “God punished you.”
The confessional room on reality TV shows is the spot where cast members are filmed sharing their thoughts about what was recently filmed on the series. The roomies are currently in Las Vegas to watch DJ Pauly DelVecchio play in the Celebrity Flag Football Challenge, which took place in the days before 2024 Super Bowl, also in Las Vegas, in February.
Angelina and Nicole crossed swords at the game, and the friction became hotter after Angelina demeaned the character of Nicole's makeup artist and podcast co-host Joey Camasta.
Angelina threatened to sue Joey over — well, we’re not sure why. Bringing Joey into the fight sent Nicole over the edge.
“Angelina, you're not going to make me quit this show ever again,” said Nicole, who left the show in 2019 after several blowups with Angelina.
Nicole said she wanted to spend more time with her family and she didn't like the direction the show was going at the time of her temporary departure.

“A while ago I let Angelina get under my skin — I just had to get away,” Nicole said. “It was all unnecessary and it made me miss my roommates. It didn't have to happen.”
For her part, Angelina denies any responsibility.
“(Blank), you made yourself quit,” Angelina said. “Nobody put a gun to your (blank) head and made you quit the show because of Angelina. You did it yourself."
Moving forward, Nicole has a plan of action regarding Angelina.
“So here's how we're going from now on: I don't want to be your friend,” Nicole said. “I don't trust you. You are evil.”
Meanwhile, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola has good news. She's wants to have a child via invitro fertilization with boyfriend Justin May, and she's just received the news that she has six embryos.
Sammi's been clandestinely injecting herself with hormone therapy as part of the IVF.
“I feel pretty amazing,” Sammi said. “I feel I'm at the right place in my life with the right man. I couldn't be happier and I feel everything is falling into place for me, for once.”
“Jersey Shore Family Vacation” airs at 8 p.m. Thursdays on MTV.
