Snooki's Wedding Guest List: Why Vinny Wasn't Invited

Nicole Snooki Polizzi and Vinny Guadagnino were once best friends and had a brief romantic relationship. However, Snooki did not invite Vinny to her wedding to Jionni LaValle, which surprised many fans. Snooki explained that she and Vinny were no longer friends and that he had been saying things about her that she did not like. Vinny, on the other hand, believed that he was not invited because he had been telling stories about hooking up with Snooki during his comedy routines and podcast appearances.

Snooki and Vinny hooked up in the past

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Vinny Guadagnino hooked up in the past. In an interview with Life & Style Weekly, Vinny admitted that he had shared stories about hooking up with Snooki while doing comedy, going on podcasts, and appearing on stage. He stated that it was all for comedic purposes and that he had no intention of disrespecting Snooki or her husband.

Snooki, however, offered a different perspective on their absence of contact. On "The Wendy Williams Show," she revealed that Vinny's absence from her wedding had nothing to do with their intimate past but rather with his recent comments about her, which she did not appreciate. Snooki also mentioned that she hadn't spoken to Vinny in a while.

The dynamic between Snooki and Vinny has been a topic of interest for fans, with some speculating that their friendship involved a lot of flirting and that there might have been deeper feelings between them. Despite their history, Snooki chose to exclude Vinny from her wedding, indicating a strain in their relationship.

It is worth noting that Snooki's marriage to Jionni LaValle has also been the subject of speculation, with some commenting on the apparent unhealthy and controlling nature of their relationship.

Vinny made offensive comments about Snooki

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi did not invite Vinny Guadagnino to her wedding because he had been saying offensive things about her. Snooki revealed the reason for his absence on *The Wendy Williams Show*, explaining that she and her husband were "over" the fact that she and Vinny had hooked up in the past. However, she stated that Vinny had recently been "saying some things about [her] that [she] didn't like". Snooki considered this a betrayal of their friendship, and so decided not to invite him to her wedding.

Vinny, however, believed that his absence from the wedding was due to his public discussions of their past hookups. In an interview with *Life & Style Weekly*, he admitted that he had been telling stories about hooking up with Snooki during his comedy shows and podcasts. He justified his actions by saying that he was simply telling his life story and giving the audience what they wanted.

Despite their past differences, Snooki and Vinny seem to have reconciled to some extent. In 2018, Snooki defended Vinny against accusations that he was trying to ruin her marriage during an episode of *Jersey Shore: Family Vacation*. She also stated that she had overreacted to his drunken behaviour and that he had not crossed any lines.

Snooki's husband, Jionni LaValle, is jealous of Vinny

It is understandable that Snooki's husband, Jionni LaValle, would be jealous of Vinny Guadagnino, given the history between his wife and the reality star. Snooki and Vinny had a close relationship on "Jersey Shore," with the pair often flirting and toying with the idea of being more than friends. While Snooki and Vinny never officially dated, they did share a few drunken hookups, which Snooki revealed on "The Wendy Williams Show." This is a common source of jealousy in relationships, and it is understandable that Jionni would feel uncomfortable with his wife maintaining a close friendship with someone she had a romantic history with.

In addition to their intimate history, Vinny and Snooki also had a public falling out that further strained their relationship. During an episode of "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation," Vinny was accused of trying to ruin Snooki's marriage by drunkenly dancing with her and initiating a conversation about their "boundaries." While Vinny claimed it was a minor incident, Snooki felt he had crossed a line, and the two had a tiff that ultimately led to their friendship deteriorating. Jionni, as Snooki's husband, likely felt protective of his wife and may have felt that Vinny was disrespecting their marriage.

It is also worth noting that Snooki and Jionni's relationship has been described as unhealthy and controlling by some observers. Jionni has been accused of trying to change Snooki and being overly controlling, even when they were apart and communicating only by phone. This dynamic could have contributed to Jionni's jealousy and possessiveness, especially regarding someone like Vinny, who had a close and flirty relationship with Snooki.

Furthermore, Vinny himself acknowledged that his absence from Snooki and Jionni's wedding could be due to his past with Snooki. In an interview, Vinny stated that he believed his stories about hooking up with Snooki during his comedy routines and podcasts might have been why he wasn't invited. While he insisted it was all in good fun, Snooki took offense and felt disrespected by his words. This suggests that Jionni may have also been protective of Snooki's reputation and wanted to distance her from anyone who could cause her public embarrassment.

Overall, it is clear that Jionni LaValle had multiple reasons to be jealous of Vinny Guadagnino, given the complex history and dynamics between the three individuals.

Snooki and Vinny's friendship involved a lot of flirting

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Vinny Guadagnino's friendship involved a lot of flirting. The two were co-stars on the MTV reality show "Jersey Shore" and had a flirty dynamic on-screen. Snooki and Vinny would flirtatiously toil around on geriatric scooters and talk about how they were destined to grow old together. They also drunkenly danced together and had conversations about their "boundaries." While Snooki was in a relationship with her now-husband, Jionni LaValle, she and Vinny hooked up once or twice. However, both Snooki and Vinny have maintained that they never had any romantic feelings for each other. Despite their flirty friendship, Snooki did not invite Vinny to her wedding to Jionni in 2014 due to him saying some things about her that she didn't like.

Vinny was the only Jersey Shore cast member not invited to the wedding

Vinny Guadagnino was the only cast member of Jersey Shore who was not invited to Snooki's wedding. Guadagnino and Snooki, whose real name is Nicole Polizzi, had a history of hookups and a back and forth relationship.

Snooki revealed on "The Wendy Williams Show" that she did not invite Vinny because he had been "saying some things" about her that she "didn't like". She also clarified that it had nothing to do with their past intimate relationship. Snooki said:

> "Me and Jionni were over that, it was just more of recently [Vinny's] been saying some things about me that I didn't like, so I'm like, 'I don't consider you a friend if you're gonna say things like that,'".

Guadagnino, on the other hand, believed that he was not invited because he had been telling stories about hooking up with Snooki during his stand-up comedy and podcast appearances. He insisted that it was entirely for comedic purposes and that he had no ill intentions. He said:

> "Maybe it wouldn't have been the best for me to [go]. I think it was just because of me doing comedy and going on [a] podcast and going up on stage. I would tell stories about hooking up with her. This is my life and I'm going to tell it. That's what people want to know."

Guadagnino also shared that he completely understood why he wasn't invited and that it hurt him.
