Jersey Shore Family Vacation LIVE — Deena sobs and Sammi 'has panic attack' after wild prank goes wrong

LAST night's episode of Jersey Shore Family Vacation left cast members sobbing due to DJ Pauly D's latest prank.

Pauly planned a prank with flying drones to trick the cast into thinking that an alien invasion was happening - which left Deena Cortese sobbing and Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola saying she was having a panic attack.

The prank started out as funny, but fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to wonder if Pauly went "too far" by making his roommates so upset, as one wrote: "oh this prank gone too far bc why i would’ve been acting the same way."

"This prank may have gone too far. But Snooki telling Deena to compose herself cracked me up," another viewer noted.

The aftereffects of Pauly's huge prank will play out next Thursday on Jersey Shore at 8pm ET on MTV.

Mike and Lauren’s marriage has been well-documented over the past years on Jersey Shore.

The couple has shared many moments onscreen, including the hospitalization of their son Romeo.

“This has been the hardest thing I’ve gone through,” said Mike on the show.

“I want to be strong for Lauren and strong for my family, hopefully, everything will be okay in the end.”

While Romeo spent some time in the hospital being monitored for a fever, he was soon cleared to go home, making a full recovery.

Angelina was accused of cheating on Chris with a man named Joe Tarallo from Old Bridge, New Jersey, as well as with Mexican reality star Luis Caballero.

It seems like now the former couple are on better terms, especially after Chris wished his ex-wife “nothing but the best” amid her engagement to fiancé Vinny Tortorella.

He shared with fans via Instagram back in June: “Just to clarify for those that say I’m bitter or hate Angelina. That is the furthest from the truth.

“You CAN NOT have resentment if you truly want to heal and better yourself… I’ve spoken to her a lot in recent times and I always tell her how happy I am for her and wish her nothing but the best.”

Angelina’s divorce attorney wasn’t the only person attempting to collect the alleged debt from the TV personality.

The U.S. Sun previously reported her ex Chris insisted she owed him over $26K after their divorce was finalized.

Their marital settlement agreement, which was signed in July 2021, was submitted as an exhibit in Chris’ filing, and it read: “Angelina will pay Christopher the sum of $22,000 which represents his 50% share of the monies gifted to the parties for their wedding.”

Chris argued that he never received the $22,000, and his lawyer added that they believed his famous ex has acted in bad faith.

Per the court docs, the Fee Committee determined that $4,000 was still unpaid, and Angelina was ordered to pay 30 days from the date of receipt.

Angelina still has allegedly not paid the full amount.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Angelina’s rep for comment but did not yet hear back.

After apparently attempting to collect payment from Angelina for two years, the New Jersey-based attorney and firm filed a complaint in March 2023.

Per the initial complaint, Webb had first been contacted by the Jersey Shore star in December 2020, as Angelina sought legal services in connection with her divorce from Chris.

The top-rated family law attorney from Red Bank, NJ, continued to work with Angelina for other legal services until June 2021.

Abby was paid a retainer of $7,500, but Angelina failed to pay the remaining amount of her invoices, which allegedly totaled over $12,000.

Jersey Shore’s Angelina Pivarnick has been slapped with a $4,000 judgment for allegedly refusing to pay her divorce lawyer, The U.S. Sun has exclusively learned.

Angelina’s divorce from ex-husband Chris Larangeira was finalized a year-and-a-half ago, but, according to a new lawsuit, she has yet to fully pay her divorce attorney.

According to court docs exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, the 37-year-old reality star was sued for $4,000 by her former attorney, Albertina Webb Esq., who goes by Abby, and her firm, Hill Wallack LLP.

Vinny Tortorella is Angelina’s fiancé, an event that was met with congratulations and concern from fans.

Vinny is a model and a graduate of Wagner University, where he got a master’s degree in accounting.

“This is something I need at this point in my life,” said Angelina to viewers.

“I didn’t feel loved in my last relationship. I would literally wear lingerie walking around the house half-naked and he wouldn’t even look at me.”

Sammi Giancola’s return has been welcomed by show fans and longtime viewers.

The series shared a clip of her return, prompting all sorts of excited reactions from people.

“The world is healing,” wrote a fan.

“The fact that the FULL CAST is back, is exactly what this show and fans needed!!! Ronnie looks really good too!!! So excited for this,” wrote someone else.

“Sammi coming to save the show !! Queen,” wrote a fourth person.

In January 2023, The U.S. Sun reported that Ronnie and Jenn Harley were moving to Miami for a “fresh start.”

“Ronnie and Jenn are moving to Miami for a fresh start,” the insider shared.

However, Jenn and Ronnie aren’t dating and it is unclear whether Ronnie is dating anyone new at the moment.

Ronnie sold his LA home for $2.6million earlier this year, the U.S. Sun exclusively reported.

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino served time in prison for evading taxes.

The New York native and his brother Marc were indicted in September 2014 for conspiring to defraud the United States after allegedly failing to pay taxes from 2010 to 2012.

In September 2019, the TV star was released from prison, which aired on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

She and Vinny met on Instagram.

While their relationship was going strong, he did not appear on the reality series until season six.

Early in that season, Angelina revealed that they were “getting a little bit more serious.”

She said on the show in March: “Things have been heating up between us and we’re definitely moving along in our relationship. He’s from Staten Island and yes, his name is Vinny. What are the f**king odds of that.”

About a month later, she suggested that things had gotten even more serious between them as she invited him on a cast trip.

Sammi Giancola had previously decided to steer clear of Jersey Shore Family Vacation.

She wrote a statement on Instagram where she clarified her focus in her life.

“I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my businesses and relationship,” she said.

The following year he took part in Dancing With The Stars and finished in seventh place.

In a press conference this year, superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed that he is a big fan of the Jersey Shore.

The four-time MVP said: “The only Jersey I kinda knew about besides Teterboro was Jersey Shore.

“I was assured that was not a proper representation of this state.”

Rodgers explained that he was shocked his teammate C.J. Uzomah did not watch the show.

He went on to say he was such a big supporter of the show that he used to go see Pauly D perform DJ sets in Las Vegas back in the day.

Chris was Angelina’s third fiancée.

Several outlets reported she was engaged for a fourth time to boyfriend Vinny Tortorella.

However, the “engagement” turned out to be a prank soon to be featured in Jersey Shore Family Vacation’s sixth season.

A show insider debunked the reports and told The U.S. Sun: “It was a prank! Angelina did not actually get engaged in New Orleans.”

However, Chris still commented on the rumors and asked his social media followers: “Who would play the lead role in the movie Hoard of the Rings?”

Angelina responded: “Jealousy is spewing off his a**. He doesn’t even know what he’s talking about either LOLLL.”

After months of infidelity allegations in Angelina and Chris’ marriage, Angelina filed for divorce on January 20, 2022.

Legal filings by Chris cited “irreconcilable differences which have caused that breakdown of the marriage for a period of at least six months” as the reason for their divorce.

Chris was accused of cheating on Angelina with a woman named Jazyln Rose.

Meanwhile, Angelina confessed to stepping out of her marriage with her All Star Shore castmate Luis Cabarello and was also accused of cheating with a man named Joe Tarallo.

The two worked in a mall together when they were younger and began dating years after when they reconnected at a pool party.

While many fans were happy for Angelina and Vinny Tortorella, others were critical.

One critic wrote: “Angelina was celibate in her marriage longer than she’s been with this guy!”

Another tweeted: “Angelina is my fave but I don’t blame Jenny one iota for being confused about Vinny 2.0.
