Angelina, Snooki blow up over Joey on 'Jersey Shore Family Vacation': 'Joey's a rat!'
Backfield in motion on the Thursday, Oct. 17 episode of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation.”
The roomies are 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 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, also in Las Vegas.
Cast member Angelina Pivarnick had her eyes -- and DMs -- on former “Bachelorette” contestant Jason Tartick at the game. Angelina and Tartick had previously appeared on the same podcast.
She's direct messaged him during the game, he replied, and he tossed her a football after he scored a touchdown.
“I kind of am feeling like Taylor Swift right now and he's Travis Kelce,” Angelina said.
At this point, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi reminded Angelina that she's engaged to Vinny “2.0” Tortorella back in Freehold Township.
“Vin and I are back and forth, bro,” Angelia said. “We're not always together.”
That's when things started to deteriorate. Nicole brought up that her makeup artist and podcast co-host Joey Camasta did makeup for Tartick's ex, TikTok's Kat Stickler, and she didn't have a lot of positive things to say about him.
“I'm just trying to let you know what I hear and you do what you want with it,” Nicole said.
“Nicole is always trying to start a problem with me when I get the attention and it’s not on her, she doesn't like it,” Angelina said. “Well, guess what, the attention is going to be on me, baby, because I'm (blank) Angelina!”
And Angelina doesn't like Joey.

“Joey's a rat,” Angelina said. “Joey came to my hotel room to do my makeup, then, all of a sudden, (Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola's) mad at me.”
Nicole sees it another way.
“He's exposing you for the person that you are,” Nicole said. “You're not a nice friend.”
Angelina threatened to sue Joey and that made Nicole even madder.
“Nicole has reached another level of anger she usually doesn't get to,” said Vinny Guadagnino.
Nicole and Joey revealed the Angelina storyline during the pair's “It's Happening with Snooki and Joey” podcast, recorded July 31 at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown.
“Police are involved, cops are involved, prison sentences are involved!” said Joey, who seemed to be exaggerating -- we think.
Earlier in the show, Nicole decided to move forward with finding her birth parents. She's a native of Chile but was raised in Marlboro, New York, by her adoptive parents, who recently revealed to her that she had two biological brothers.
Nicole called Jersey-based genealogist Pamela Slaton, who previously helped Angelina find her biological dad, on Thursday's episode.
“My birth dad knew that my birth mom was pregnant,” said Nicole, who has three children with her husband. Her parents revealed a few details of her adoption in recent days. “He wanted nothing to do with it and she couldn't afford it so they signed papers and I was in a foster home until I was six months. Then my parents found me and brought me home.”
The search begins.
