Snooki Announced She Won’t Be Returning to “Jersey Shore”

Everyone’s favorite meatball announced she won’t be returning for Jersey Shore Family Vacation following season three.

Nicole Snooki Polizzi broke the news to her fans on her podcast, It’s Happening With Snooki & Joey, “It’s definitely a hard decision … I’m gonna throw up. Okay, you guys, I love you so much and don’t hate me for my decision, but I have to do what’s best for me at the moment, and I am retiring from Jersey Shore … I hate being away from the kids, I don’t like partying three days in a row, it’s just not my life anymore.”

The announcement comes just days after Jersey Shore’s 10th anniversary; the show first aired in 2009! The cast went from unknown guidos and guidettes to overnight stars. We’re sure the series won’t be the same without her, but we’re happy that she’s prioritizing her family.
