Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is putting to rest the rumors saying she left Jersey Shore Family Vacation in order to secure a spin-off show for her family!
The Jersey Shore star, who announced last week that she was “retiring” from ‘Family Vacation’ and would not be part of the show’s fourth season, made it clear when asked by TMZ on Thursday that she had no desire to put her kids on a show of their own.
“Nah, no,” Nicole answered when a TMZ cameraman asked her if there’s any chance for a Snooki Family spin-off.
“I don’t want my kids to be degenerates like me!” she added.
Nicole, who shares sons Lorenzo and Angelo and daughter Giovanna with husband Jionni LaValle, stated in her ‘Jersey Shore’ sign-off announcement that having to leave her kids was one of the main reasons she was exiting the show.
“I don’t like partying three days in a row, it’s just not my life anymore and I wanna be home with the kids,” she explained on her podcast on the day she made her announcement. “It’s just really hard on me to leave the kids and film the show. That’s one reason.”
She also stated on her podcast that was unhappy while filming previous seasons of ‘Family Vacation.’
“I think when I was, like, actually forcing myself to be in a situation that I wasn’t happy in. Like, I was forcing myself to be ‘happy,’ and I’m like, ‘That’s not me.’ I’m not genuinely happy,” she said. “That’s when I’m like, ‘I’m out.’”
Aside from ‘Jersey Shore,’ Nicole (and Jionni) have appeared on the spin-off Snooki & Jwoww as well as Nicole & Jionni’s Shore Flip.

Good. Bye bully.
The great thing about free will? No one is forcing you to get shitfaced 3 or 4 nights a week while on vacation, that’s an active choice you’re making.
You choose to make your self look like a mess for a pay cheque. And now because people are over you acting like a mean girl you want out
Snooki is good TV, don’t get me wrong. But this seems like a stage in her life where being home with her 3 young children and husband should take priority versus partying like she did 7 or 8 years ago. In 10 or 15 years, she might be great on a “Real Housewives of NJ” type show if she wants to go back into reality TV.
Snooki was an unexpected caring and good mother.
How is she going to have enough money to get her horsey teeth fixed. My word girl get them fixed. I dont know how she can fit anything else in her mouth. She looks ridiculous!!!
Her kids are sooo cute! Lorenzo is the spitting image of Joinni and Giovanna looks like a mini Snooki (yes, even tinier lol).
Btw I still don’t buy this. I bet she just wants more money.
Nicole won’t do a spinoff because no one is interested in watching her in a spinoff. No one can stand watching her on Jersey Shore anymore so why would she even be offered one in the first place?
It’s too bad that she can’t own her mistakes, apologize and grow into a better person after this experience but it is easier for her to be a coward I guess and run away. Not like I or any of us will miss her, we won’t get the chance. I am sure she will continue with her podcast and whatever else she can do to shove her opinions down our throats.
Oh yeah, she’s commenting on this as if she’s still popular like all those years back. You are not, Snooki&Jwoww was a fun show but that was before you both became big b*tches.
The only show I would watch would be involving Mike! (And him helping out addicts, he is the perfect spokesperson for it!)
That is all I keep seeing everywhere, people want Mike to have a spinoff. I think Vinny and Pauly are the ones being offered spinoffs right now, which makes sense because they are both still single and it is easier for them for several reasons such as scheduling and just being open to dating/dramatized shows etc which seem popular on MTV.
I think Mike having some type of recovery show would be a great idea. Unfortunately, I don’t think MTV would go for it. There could be too many liabilities there but maybe they could work something out.
Good for you Nicole !
My brain died more and more after reading so many “likes”. And like, it seriously hurts now.
