Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino grappled with Angelina Pivarnick’s fiance Vinny Tortorella on Thursday’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation on MTV.
The 41-year-old reality star and Vinny, 35, during the season seven episode titled ‘Jersey Shore Fan Club?’ wrestled with each other after Mike intervened to help ease tension between Angelina, 37, and Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola, 37, during the group trip to Tucson, Arizona.
Mike learned that Angelina made a post on a Jersey Shore fan club in which she took credit for bringing Sammi back to the show and accused Sammi of bullying her.
‘I bring her back. She buys a home and bullied me,’ Angelina posted.
Angelina was outraged that Sammi made a TikTok video with NFL wife Alexis Bawden in October 2023, who previously accused Angelina of sliding in the DMs of her husband, New York Jets running back Nick Bawden.
She accused Sammi of bullying her with the TikTok video and noted that Sammi bought a new home after coming back to Jersey Shore at Angelina’s invitation.

Mike revealed that Angelina asked that her offending post be taken down, but fans of the show refused, blocked her and it remained on Reddit.
The group was informed of the development by Mike while they were waiting for Angelina for breakfast.
‘I don’t know how to get on Reddit!,’ Sammi exclaimed as everyone got on their phones to see the message from Angelina.
‘Who would’ve thought we were having tea for breakfast?,’ said Paul ‘DJ Pauly D’ DelVecchio, 43.
Jennifer ‘JWoww’ Farley, 38, found the post on Reddit and shared it with Sammi.
‘I have not once said anything about this girl, ever. Except that she doesn’t like me. So now I don’t know how to handle this. Because I will punch her in the face. And I’m an old adult now, and I can’t do that. So I don’t know how to, like, go about this,’ Sammi said.
Pauly noted that ‘old Sam’ was fighting ‘new Sam’ in the same way Mike tries to fight off his old ways.
‘This is definitely where it gets a little dangerous. Because now Angelina is spreading false rumors about me. These people can then spread out what you say. I will get attacked on social media, and it can actually have effect on me as a human in general. And it’s just not a good feeling to have,’ Sammi said in a confessional.
Vinny joined Angelina on the group trip to Arizona and Mike was acting as a mediator

Mike then shared that Angelina told him while they were in Nashville that her feud with Sammi dates back to seven months ago when his wife Lauren launched her boutique and Angelina was the only one to attend.
Vinny meanwhile told Angelina that he was going to get some coffee and walked into the suite where everyone was talking about Angelina.
Sammi barked at Vinny to get his fiancée and afterward admitted that she had a ‘bad mouth’.
‘Old Sammi is definitely back. But I would be too if someone was talking about how I bought my house,’ JWoww said in a confessional.
Vinny went back to their room and told Angelina how everyone was upset with her.
‘About what?,’ Angelina asked despite knowing about the Reddit post.
Angelina refused to leave her room and Mike decided that it was time for The Mediation to enter.
Mike went to their room and got bad vibes after seeing dog poop, pet pads on the floor and room service food.

Angelina blamed Mike for causing the tension between her and Sammi after he made her remarks at Lauren’s boutique opening sound malicious.
They yelled at each other and Vinny told them both to take it down a notch and ‘stop making dumb-a** comments’.
Mike got riled up and told Vinny that he would be alarmed if he knew what Angelina was saying behind his back and claimed he wouldn’t have such a ‘smug face’ if he knew.
‘I don’t got a f***ing smug face,’ Vinny said.
‘Yeah, you do got a f***ing smug face,’ Mike said.
Mike and Vinny hollered at each other as a security guard was shown peeking inside the room.
‘I got that nervous energy right now. And you only get that nervous energy if you’re a guy if it’s about to be a fight,’ Mike said in a confessional.
Mike tried to de-escalate the situation as Angelina refused to go talk to Sammi.

Angelina refused to go talk to Sammi
‘I don’t want to talk to anybody anymore, Mike!,’ Angelina yelled.
Mike suggested they talk and Sammi reluctantly agreed.
Vinny was still a bit peeved about the ‘smug face’ remark, but Mike went over to him and they playfully wrestled with each other.
‘Anytime men get into a fight or a grapple. That nervous energy is sort of put to work,’ Mike told the camera.
Mike came back and told the crew that it ‘almost went down’ with Vinny 2.0 and told them about his smug look remark.
Sammi asked for a demonstration and Mike used JWoww’s fiance Zack Carpinello to recreate his argument with Vinny.
Angelina and Sammi eventually agreed to a hallway conversation, but it spiraled out of control.

‘You think I don’t appreciate you enough. So, is that true?,’ Sammi asked.
‘It’s not true,’ Angelina said.
Angelina, however, in a confessional said the exact opposite.
‘Of course I feel unappreciated by Sam. That’s 100 percent what I feel,’ Angelina told the camera.
Angelina swore on the life of her dog Peanut that she didn’t feel unappreciated by Sammi.
‘Don’t do that to your dog. I don’t think you should do that,’ Sammi said.
‘I don’t want any part of that. Like, I’m concerned for the dog,’ Sammi added in a confessional.
Sammi told Angelina that she flat-out didn’t believe her and Angelina cussed her out and stormed off crying.
‘I have no beef with Peanut,’ Sammi said in a confessional. ‘I love animals. I love animals so much.’
Angelina again swore on the life of her dog and denied saying that she felt unappreciated by Sammi despite video evidence to the contrary.
‘You’re playing victim,’ Sammi said.
‘You think I don’t appreciate you enough. So, is that true?,’ Sammi asked
‘It’s not true,’ Angelina said
‘Of course I feel unappreciated by Sam. That’s 100 percent what I feel,’ Angelina told the camera

JWoww organized a lunch outing and Vinny encouraged Angelina to join them.
Angelina followed his advice and decided to join them for lunch.
She stopped at Sammi’s room and knocked on her door as the episode ended.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will return next week on MTV.
