As previously announced and later revealed on the Season 3 finale, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi said she would be leaving the show.

The episode followed Angelina Pivarnick‘s wedding to Chris Larangeira last November, which spiraled into drama.

“I just love my roomies, always. Jersey Shore is literally my life. I never would have met my best friends, so the fact that is has to end like this, for me, it really sucks,” she said during the episode.

Jersey Shore originally debuted in 2009, and was later rebooted as Family Vacation in 2018 with the original cast, minus Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola.
