Snooki's Wedding: Mike's Absence Explained

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi did not invite Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino to her wedding to Jionni LaValle due to their history. The two had a major falling out due to Sorrentino's drug use and a rumour that he and Snooki hooked up. Snooki and LaValle tied the knot in 2014, and while most Jersey Shore cast members were in attendance, Sorrentino was notably absent.

Snooki and Mike were not friends

It's no secret that Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino were not friends. When asked about Mike's absence from her wedding to Jionni LaValle, Snooki told Access Hollywood:

> "I think everybody knows we’re not friends. And me and Vinny, we don’t get along either… It is what it is."

The two reality stars had a major falling out due to Mike's drug use and a rumour that he and Snooki hooked up. Mike told Us Weekly in 2018:

> "I was a little bit of a mess… I ruined myself and Nicole’s friendship for five years. I didn’t speak to Nicole for five years, and we just started rekindling our friendship right now."

He also told Life & Style in 2017:

> "There was definitely a period of time where there was resentment, most likely on her side. On my side, I was willing to let bygones be bygones. We’re on a reality show; stuff happens. This is kind of what we’re supposed to do. At the end of the day, I’ve got nothing but love for [her]."

Despite their differences, Snooki and Mike appear to have rekindled their friendship in recent years.

Mike was heavily on drugs and trying to sabotage Snooki's relationship

Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino was not invited to Snooki's wedding because of his drug use and attempts to sabotage her relationship with her then-husband-to-be, Jionni LaValle.

Snooki and Mike's friendship had deteriorated, with Snooki telling Access Hollywood:

> "I think everybody knows we're not friends. And me and Vinny, we don't get along either... It is what it is."

Mike's drug use and the resulting rumours that he and Snooki had hooked up, led to a major falling out between the two reality stars. Mike admitted to Us Weekly in 2018 that he had ruined his friendship with Snooki, saying:

> "I was a little bit of a mess... I ruined myself and Nicole's friendship for five years. I didn't speak to Nicole for five years, and we just started rekindling our friendship right now."

Mike's behaviour, fuelled by his drug use, led to resentment from Snooki. He tried to play down the situation, telling Life & Style in 2017:

> "There was definitely a period of time where there was resentment, most likely on her side. On my side, I was willing to let bygones be bygones. We're on a reality show; stuff happens. This is kind of what we're supposed to do. At the end of the day, I've got nothing but love for [her]."

However, Snooki's decision not to invite Mike to her wedding shows the extent of the damage caused by his behaviour.

Mike spread a rumour that he and Snooki hooked up

Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino and Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi had a major falling out due to Sorrentino's drug use and a rumour that he started, suggesting that he and Polizzi had hooked up.

In 2018, Sorrentino told Us Weekly:

> "I was a little bit of a mess... I ruined myself and Nicole's friendship for five years. I didn't speak to Nicole for five years, and we just started rekindling our friendship right now."

He also told Life & Style in 2017:

> "There was definitely a period of time where there was resentment, most likely on her side. On my side, I was willing to let bygones be bygones. We're on a reality show; stuff happens. This is kind of what we're supposed to do. At the end of the day, I've got nothing but love for [her]."

Polizzi, however, was not so willing to forgive and forget. She told Access Hollywood:

> "I think everybody knows we're not friends. And me and Vinny, we don't get along either... It is what it is."

Polizzi's marriage to Jionni LaValle in 2014 was attended by most of her Jersey Shore castmates, but neither Sorrentino nor Vinny Guadagnino received an invite.

Snooki's husband Jionni didn't like Mike

It is clear that Snooki's now-husband, Jionni LaValle, did not like Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino. The pair had a major falling out due to Mike's drug use and a rumour that he and Snooki hooked up. Snooki told Access Hollywood:

> "I think everybody knows we're not friends."

Mike also discussed his falling out with Snooki, telling Life & Style in 2017:

> "There was definitely a period of time where there was resentment, most likely on her side. On my side, I was willing to let bygones be bygones. We're on a reality show; stuff happens. This is kind of what we're supposed to do. At the end of the day, I've got nothing but love for [her]."

Mike also told Us Weekly in 2018:

> "I was a little bit of a mess... I ruined myself and Nicole's friendship for five years. I didn't speak to Nicole for five years, and we just started rekindling our friendship right now."

It seems that Snooki's husband, Jionni, did not like Mike because of the hurt he caused Snooki, and the resentment she felt towards him.
