Don’t let the polyester and tawdry spray tans fool you, the guidos and guidettes of MTV’s Jersey Shore are tougher than they look. It’s a lesson that is becoming all too familiar for brunette Angelina Pivarnick, who left the first season of the show after only three episodes. Pivarnick is reportedly being bullied and harassed by her co-stars, network spies spill in a scoop from RadarOnline.com.
Tipsters say the other seven castmates are cross that Angelina is back to ride their gravy train of success after she made a run for it before the show became a ratings juggernaut and rose into the celebrity stratosphere. The Jersey Shore kids are peeved that Pivarnick was allowed back for the show’s second season despite bailing on them to run home to her then-boyfriend. We hear Snooki & Co. were being so mean to AP, that the network reportedly had to intervene to get the gang to go easy on her.
“They literally despise her and can’t understand why she’s back,” a snoop snitches. “One of the cast members said that the show didn’t even take off until she left and she still wants credit for being part of the cast.”
“The cast has been so cruel to Angelina that MTV has been forced to step in and tell them to back off,” another insider claims. “They feel that they did all the work and she just came back and wants them to welcome her back. The cast probably won’t lay off because they’ve just had it with her.”
A few months ago, Angelina complained that several members of the cast had been using email and text messages to taunt, torment, and threaten her after her departure from the show last year: “I got a text from Mike saying, ‘Be prepared to get your ass beat, you pale rat bitch’,” she explained. “‘Nobody likes you in the house’. Jenni has been telling people she wants to beat me up, and Snooki says she’s going to beat me up, too. I don’t understand why they hate me.”
The Angelina vs. The Guidos & Guidettes should make for a juicy storyline when Jersey Shore returns to MTV in July.
