'I just can't do it anymore': Snooki QUITS Jersey Shore 10 years on


Snooki has announced her retirement from Jersey Shore. 

The star, who rocketed to fame when the series debuted 10 years ago, said she would rather be spending time with her children rather than engage in drama.

Snooki said working on the show lately had become a ‘nightmare’, and that she and her children had been receiving death threats over some of the events that played out on the series.    

‘So here comes my breaking news … it’s definitely a hard decision,’ Snooki, 32, said on her podcast, It’s Happening With Snooki and Joey. ‘I’m gonna throw up. OK, 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 am not coming back to Jersey Shore for a season four, if there is one. And there’s a lot of reasons why, but the main reason is really, I just can’t do it anymore,’ she explained. 

‘I hate being away from the kids, 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. It’s just really hard on me to leave the kids and film the show. That’s one reason.’ 

In addition to wanting to be with her family, Snooki said the drama had been taking a toll on her.   

‘Our show, Jersey Shore, is about family and about making fun of each other and having a good time and laughing, and just knowing that it’s all in good fun.  And lately, it’s just like, everything is so serious, and when it comes to our show it’s not about like, team this, team that, and then fans are against one another when it comes to a cast member. That’s just not how the show works and that’s how it’s becoming,’ she explained.

‘I don’t want that and I’m not leaving my kids days on end to film this show when that’s the result of it,’ she said. ‘I don’t like the turnout of it and I don’t like the person I’m being portrayed as and this is getting a little too much.

’32 years old with 3 kids and if I’m doing a reality show I want it to be fun and lighthearted and just lately it’s not like that and the show is getting so dramatic and drama.’ 

Snooki also elaborated on the death threats she and her children had been the target of.

‘And people take it too seriously to where I’m getting death threats with my kids.’
