Jersey Shore’s Angelina Pivarnick dives into the highs/lows of Jersey Shore mayhem!

This week, Jason is joined by reality TV personality that you all know from MTV’s Jersey Shore, Angelina Pivarnick!
Angelina joined the cast of the hit reality show back in 2009 for the first two seasons of the show, and has since returned to the franchise spin-off Jersey Shore Family Vacation for the past six seasons. Although Angelina and the cast of the show received some criticism from media outlets everywhere, the group became a pop culture phenomenon with people all across the country. In fact, the show gained recognition internationally which resulted in 10 other countries creating their own version of the show over the years. Angelina has capitalized off of her success from the show with various brand deals, making appearances on other reality shows, and even pulling her entrepreneurial skills by creating her own false eyelash company.
Angelina gives insight to how taking a DNA test revealed family lies about who her real father is, what it was like meeting her biological father and the reveal of having a whole other family to get to know, how she feels about the villain arc she has been given on Jersey Shore and how it impacted her opportunities, working as a dental assistant, her wild resume, and the impact of when she left Jersey Shore before returning for Family Vacation. Angelina also reveals what her first big purchase was after hitting rock bottom, what financial lessons she learned during her divorce, why she bought her house under an LLC, how she was able to raise her rates as Jersey Shore continued to grow, how crucial Jersey Shore has been to American pop culture, the power of manifestation, her tips for manifestation, and what she has coming down the pipeline.Why did she leave Jersey Shore? What was her biggest low? Did she get paid for her wedding from MTV? What is her prediction for Jason?
Angelina reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

I love her!!! I feel like she’s soo misunderstood, I love seeing her thrive. She’s a good vibe whether ppl wanna say she’s drama or whatever she’s a vibe🫶🏼

[@amber-lynne9537]

She's definitely the only one really sharing her whole life, she is a gem & I'm glad she came back when she did, I do love Deena too 😂

[@aemusick1637]

She's the most relatable in my opinion. I remember the other girls hating om her for reusing her lashes like what? She's unapologetic herself!

[@alexisf.8878]

Couldnt agree more

[@abarzua21able]

Yes!!!

​@amber-lynne9537 Agree! The show would be so boring without her!

[@annielawn9531]

I always rooted for Angelina. I’m glad the fans are finally starting to see her side of things!

[@mangomini1587]

Angelina comes frim a dysfunctional family . She is pretty much a little girl desperste for love and acceptance with a sprinkle of mental unstability. She lashes out and rough around the edges with a pure heart and sensitive side. I hope she find unconditional love and have that securty of feeling content and safe

[@amandamcclendon9547]

People what to say she not good person and that she lashes out and get upset look and what she be thought if I was go through all the things she was go through I would be that way to and if her mom would have told her the truth about her dad then she might not be like that and her mom has no right to be made she has a right to know the truth

[@sweetvonbettie1]

Totally agree

I knew it when she period farted and cried she was sensitive lol

Honestly I see my old self a lot in Angelina so I have such a soft spot for her. After hearing this episode I definitely want to learn to give people more grace and love bc we never know why they act the way they do.

Great episode! Angelina's such an amazing guest. Loved it!

[@josielove6243]

I never think Angelina is a Villain from the beginning, Mike the situation & Jwoww are the pot stirred 🐍. She never wrote the letter to Sammi, make a Plot, and Physically kickbox anyone. Angelina is Very Blunt, conversational and beautiful girl. She’s easy to talk to but the rest of the JerseyShore Crew wasn’t ready for her bluntness and flaws 💖♥️💖 #TeamAngelina

I ❤ Angelina! All of the personal stuff that she has shown on the show makes SO much sense as to why she is the way that she is. She seems like such a sweetheart at her core, I hope that she does some soul-searching and healing, because she has so much potential to have such a happy life. I really wish her nothing but the best.❤

Gotta love pods, ya get the person not as heavily edited & Ang is so honest how could ya not appreciate that. Lov3 it girl keep doin you ❤😊🫶🥰✌️

[@eslayaya3193]

Angelina needs to do more of these. I feel like you can really see her on a deeper level. On the show, she’s misunderstood and the way they treated her after all these years, I feel is way she’s always on a defensive mood.

How many times is he gonna ask about money

[@jaw3295]

I think her story of redemption, reinvention and second chances is endearing, and I’d love to see Angelina partner with someone reputable in the mental wellness space to capitalize on that somehow

[@maitregab4997]

Angelina has borderline personality disorder ,instability rage jealousy drama queen fights all the time cheating lying etc....playing the victims all the time ,she need to quit the show and go see a psychiatrist to get diagnosed...and go seek help in therapy ( borderline comes from trauma when you are a child)

Loved this interview

[@cindymckee5831]

If she wasn’t on Jersey Shores Family Vacation it would be so boring. She is the reason so many people watch!

[@angelicaliem3502]

I was so anti Angelina when Jersey Shore first started but I feel like she’s a changed person and Snooki and Jenni are such mean girls to her and paint her to be such a bad person. They can do anything they want to her but the second she defends herself and speaks up, they make everyone turn on her.

[@lolasylvester8152]

They actually don’t. When was the last time Jenni said anything about Angelina first. Jenny responds but Angelina every time provokes jenny. She draws her out so she can look like the victim.

[@mattbernabe]

I'd have to disagree. I think Jenni doesn't trust her, which is reasonable. I genuinely think Nicole likes Angelina. If you can tell the different vibes when all the girls are together, and when it's just Ang, Nicole, and Deena. It's always fun seeing just the three girls together without Jenni cause they look like they let their guards down, and they just have fun.

[@lolasylvester8152]

@@mattbernabe exactly it’s reasonable for jenni to not trust her. Deena used to like her before the reunion not I think she feels more closely to jenni. Snooki is Snooki lol she lets shit go because she knows how bad she has been. Jenni is rightous because she can be. She never did any of the room mates dirty

[@lolasylvester8152]

@@mattbernabe Angelina has over and over again

[@lg403]

Especially in the 2nd OG Season, nicole and jenni were so fake and mean to her. Angelina actually had a point almost everytime she was involved in drama.

[@johndoe-lm7ji]

I feel so bad for her, especially her family trying to play victim. This was a gift, it’s not like she was seeking this.

[@lydiawhite322]

This was a great interview, especially because i just watched her on All Star Shore and really liked her by the end. Im going to try her manifesting advice with regards to my finances and hustle plans.

That’s so wrong that her mother did her wrong like this and then now won’t talk to her?! It’s because she doesn’t want to explain herself to Angelina or admit anything, how sad! How could you do this to your daughter? She had already been through it finding this news out, then her mother abandons her during this? I feel so bad for Angelina

And Vinny is so hot, and not because of that, but, I think he’d make a great husband because he’s so supportive, and you can tell he has her back 💯

[@TinaMarieDiaries]

After seeing her in these kind of interviews, you can tell that the show definitely made her out to be the villain. She talks very well, seems very personable,smart and witty. MTV let her be her 😂

[@ChelsiB.]

Definitely been team Angelina since day 1! She’s always been so real! 🤍

[@JaeleneRodriguez-p4u]

When Angelina said Mike turned something .. and he finished her sentence for her and said “Nothing”😂😂😂😂

[@anunez3450]

Mom is just mad that her dirty laundry is out on display if she'd told you the truth this would've never happen and your sisters are loyal to mom and thier Dad so it's actually pretty normal reactions. But now you can rest. And if mom doesn't come around then perhaps it's for the best. That lie was for her best interest not yours.

[@MsRaquelD]

This came up in my feed and played automatically. I almost turned it off but Im glad I didn't. This was actually really good. All of the financial and business talk was good to glean from. And, I find her way more attractive when she carries herself with this demeanor. She was very poised...... by the way, his podcast is literally about money and investing lol People in the comments make me laugh. lol He handled his questions very respectfully.

[@6livingmybestlife]

Wow even after the way Mike & Jenni treat her she still spoke highly of them & gave them compliments. I'm team Angelina! I think she is misunderstood & don't care for the adult bullying she goes through. Jenni treats her just awful. "No one likes u, no one wants u here, we are not your friends"- Jenni...yeah the 13 yr old behavior w a frozen stink fart face doesn't do it for me. I would actually like to see more Angelina & no Jenni at all. Jenni doesn't share her life, has rules, doesn't allow anyone to talk about her sh*t, but gets mad & forces Angelina to talk about her pain smh. Jenni is miserable & boring. MTV more Angelina & less Jenni plz!

[@JorgeFernandez-gc3lq]

Angelina is the reason i tunned in again

[@michelleo9992]

She’s so calm during this interview compared to the jersey shore episodes

[@Mysticalwarlock89]

Your watching her only for a short moment, tv captures who she really is most the time

[@lbabytutorials4852]

She has to be “on” for the money.

[@leongo9754]

my biggest issue with angelina is that she kept going and leaving. She was an amazing villain to have. Like revealling Nicoles msgs to her was top tier Villainy. Ily Nicole but it made for great tv seeing her humbled, and by Angelina of all people. I wanted more Angelina. There wouldve been sooo much more crazy drama imo. im glad we have more of her noww at leasttt.

[@Sandyz7761]

Love you Angelina, God bless you!

[@tiffneyjuneau6170]

[@Gattaccia8]

I'm against bullyng and seeing her being used as scapegoat made me sick. They tried it even with Sammi in some eposodes.

[@NetCanvas]

Mike did NOT put a good word in for her. If anything, what has been learned from the seasons of Jersey Shore, is that Mike, says one thing to a person's face and says another when they are not around.

[@angelinaroman4281]

Ummm I think angelina was trying to to flirt with him at the end love that lol made Jason blush

[@Desireerose25]

I would love to listen to Angelina podcast ❤

[@CC_Babblecock]

Haven’t come across you before, but nice podcast Jason! You’re a really great listener of your guest’s answers, as opposed to just thinking about your next question. I’m watching this at the same time Season 7 is ending, & it’s such a contrast to how stressed & ill she appears to be on the show. She’s entertaining, but I hope she learns to become more introspective - she should never have spoken about Sam’s finances the way she has.

[@76Viviana]

I personally feel like jwow hates her because she’s so pretty. She always comes for her anytime she gets a chance to talk bad about her she does. Even on other podcast. She’s grown a lot, Angelina is gonna thrive more

[@HeatherBDentureDiVa]

I've watched regular Jersey shore and family vacation the second that the girls made a messed up speech about her I stopped watching family vacation. You know it's one thing to add one or two jokes and then be kind but they were not kind at all they were just evil. But I do feel like without Angelina and bringing in the drama and all of that they would be no family vacation if she left it would be one boring ass show. I feel like most people ignore how much some of the other cast is a bad influence and promotes alcoholics. Angelina is truly misunderstood. She is a caring person and just wants love. I saw the episode of her father and I'm worried about her. Her apparently biological father all he did is kept talking about her money and while I wish I had this and wow I wish I had that and I think that he's going to use her for money it was a little obvious. I am worried about her and I think Mike opened up a can of worms that might actually caused her severe pain which I think Mike did that on purpose. see Mike acts like all the drugs made him a horrible person and he's better now since he got clean which I don't think is true and his wife causes a lot of drama as well. Actually his wife and Mike are the reasons why I stopped watching along with the girls at the wedding.

[@shinebright8313]

35k for one show. That’s just bizarre dude. Some people work an entire year to make that.

[@heavyheavv5015]

😂😂😂

[@abel7519]

And for all the not smart ppl in the comments: she's not misunderstood, the producers heavily EDIT the show to make her look better than what she is.

[@HeatherBDentureDiVa]

I do think for Sam's well being to now shouldn't come back. He is abusive to women which I knew he was since the original jersey shore. It's dangerous. And the producers will do anything to get the best episodes. Angelina is totally edited to make her look bad. Which it's sad 495 production is grimy. No way after original jersey shore and this series most of them are worth only 4 million or they aren't getting paid to what they should be. They were the highest rating show on MTV and other reality shows are getting paid more. Even a million per season bc they claimed it was 105k to 180k. All the seasons of both shows 13 seasons. They should be worth 14 million. How only 4?

[@kelseakajune4211]

Wait… I thought Mike hired someone to find her dad and that’s how she found him?? I’m questioning the whole show now lol!

[@meganmatos3129]

If i was her id definitely ask for more money than the rest of the cast bcus honestly the show is all riding on Angelina! the cast all talks about and stays all up In her business she should do her own show the rest is so boring 🥱

[@rslily]

The real question is why was her mom hiding her father?

[@wendyWERKKZ]

I can’t say because I haven’t looked into how old Angelina’s sisters are or how old her sister from her bio dad is, but, assuming they’re all around the same age, someone was probably cheating ? The man who she thought was her father was in jail the whole time and Angelina’s mom had her while her assumed dad was in jail. It could mean Angelina’s mom was seeing someone while that man was in jail. But since her mom won’t say anything 🤷🏽‍♀️

Without her the show would be nothing. People can’t handle the truth !

[@6livingmybestlife]

I didn't know Jason has a channel. Love the way he interviewed her. Glad to see Angelina have this opportunity. JS cast can be so cruel to her for the exception of Sam. Sam seems to be the only w brains & common sense. The hating on Angelina over every lil thing is old. Jenni needs to get off her high horse. She refused to speak on her personal life/divorce. What Jenni expects out of others she doesn't hold herself of the same standards. Jenni is a true adult bully! She thinks she is better than Angelina. The girls will find out she was innocent of some drama they start, get mad at her & instead of apologizing they still find a way to deflect & blame her. The way Mike intentionally puts her in drama & I do get it's tv but watching Jenni act like a child & a bully is getting old. Mike uses his addiction story yet doesn't set a good example for those looking up to him. He has NOT humbled himself at all. If he cared he wouldn't put Angelina through so much pain & drama. I'm def team Angelina!

[@capt3rdleg835]

She’s the least favorite cast of the show. Most want to see her leave. I think it’s best she try to get a spin off show before she truly have no fans left.
