Nicole Polizzi Says 'Jersey Shore' Cast Remains United Amidst Angelina Pivarnick Wedding Snub

Angelina Pivarnick remains a part of the "Jersey Shore Family Vacation" group chat, despite being excluded from Jenni "JWoww" Farley's surprise wedding in June, according to Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.

Pivarnick was one of two cast members, alongside Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who did not receive an invitation to Farley's intimate wedding. A source close to Pivarnick had previously told Page Six that she was "angry" about the snub and had subsequently declined an invitation to Farley's post-wedding pool party.

"We're still in our group chat, and we still want to work together," Polizzi stated in an interview with Page Six's "Virtual Reali-Tea." She added that while there was initial disappointment, the cast collectively wishes to continue their show.

Farley married her longtime boyfriend, pro wrestler Zack Carpinello, in June at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, New Jersey. The event was presented as a movie screening for guests, who were unaware they were attending a surprise wedding with fewer than 50 attendees. Among those present were Deena Cortese and her husband Chris Buckner, Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola and her husband Justin May, and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and his wife Lauren, as well as Polizzi.

Vinny Guadagnino and Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio were reportedly invited but did not attend. Pivarnick and Ortiz-Magro reportedly felt "blindsided" and "extremely hurt" by their lack of invitations.

Farley addressed the reports of hurt feelings in a TikTok video, stating, "If you were a true friend or family member, none of this would be public right now... But you can't come to me, because then you can't play victim to your own fake ass narrative." She also told People that she and her husband "weren't interested in throwing the biggest wedding possible," emphasizing their desire for only their "closest family and friends" to attend.

Despite the wedding drama, Polizzi expressed optimism about the future of the show. "We all just want to continue our show, so I think we’re just waiting to see what’s next," she said. She noted that the cast members are navigating personal milestones, including her own health, Farley's health, and Pauly D's engagement, which contribute to the show's potential progression.

Polizzi is "definitely manifesting" a new platform for the show, though she anticipates it may take a year or two before new episodes are produced. "I feel like it’s going to happen," she concluded, "But I think it is going to be a minute."
