Guess who’s going back to it Jersey Shore District? Nothing else Sammi “Honey” Giancola!
As fans know, the 35-year-old television personality starred in the original incarnation of MTV series with Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Pauly “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, Angelina Pivarnick, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magroand Deena Nicole Cortese between 2009 to 2012. The show was finally rebooted in 2018, with most of the cast returning – except Sammi. At that time, he shared it with everyone Instagram he likes life off camera and wants to “avoid potentially toxic situations” (*cough, cough* Ron).

Although Sammi does not want to return, that does not stop her former co-star from trying to convince her to change her mind. Snooki explained to AND! News in September 2022:
“We tried to get him back like two years ago, we all texted each other, ‘Let’s have dinner. Why don’t we?’ And he’s just always like, ‘No, I’m never doing that show again.’ We don’t want to push it.
When Sammi, 35, “instant messaged” her again, she realized she had been blocked on social media:
“I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s unfortunate because we would love to have him back. He was part of the show. I feel incomplete without everything. Sad.”
But now, it looks like the players got their wish! Since it’s been more than a decade since she left the original series, the network announced on the ‘gram on Saturday that Sammi will be reuniting with her co-stars to film. Jersey Shore: Family vacation! Posting a picture of the reality star sitting on a chair with a boom microphone and a camera in the frame, MTV wrote in the caption:
“He’s still the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet.”
If it wasn’t clear enough that Sammi has returned to the beach, then she put a picture of herself in front of the green screen and confirmed the news in the caption:
“Okay, finally I can say it… I’m backkk! @jerseyshore #jsfamilyvacation”
No other details about her return have been revealed – including why she suddenly changed her tune and joined the show. But we can assume that the main reason is the fact that Ronnie will not be around now! He announced in May 2021 that he was taking a break amid mental health and legal issues, writing:
“After speaking with the team at MTV, we have agreed that I will be leaving the show while I seek medical treatment for a mental health issue that I have neglected for a long time. My number one goal right now is to face my struggles. This process will be difficult, but my #1 priority is to be healthy and to be the best person and the best father to my child. [Ariana Sky].”
We can’t wait to see Sammi on our screens again — and she might have some drama, because she blocked Snooki on social media without warning! Lol! Reaction to the news, Perezcious readers? Are you happy to see Sammi back? Vote OFF in the comments below!
