About Snooki
Snooki’s friends in middle school gave her the nickname “Snooki” after the male character “Snookie” from the movie Save the Last Dance. They did this because Snooki was the first of her friends to kiss a boy. Snooki’s real name is Nicole Polizzi. She spent her childhood in Marlboro, New York, and went to school in the nearby town of Marlboro, New York, where she participated in cheerleading.
When she was a senior in high school, she struggled with an eating disorder and reached a weight of 80 pounds at one point (36 kg). Immediately following her graduation from Marlboro High School, Snooki enrolled at Brookdale Community College, where she pursued her education to become a veterinary technician.
Snooki was initially presented to the public by MTV on the show Is She Really Going Out with Him?, which centered on women who were dating unpleasant or arrogant men. In episode 14, titled “Jerz Pud” Snooki and her boyfriend, Justin, made an appearance. After being scouted by the casting director for the reality TV series Jersey Shore, Josh Allouche, who works for Doron Ofir Casting, recruited Snooki to be a cast member on the show. The New York Times referred to her as “the breakout member of the cast” in their article.
Snooki was born in the South American city of Santiago. She was given up for adoption when she was only six months old, and she was brought up by Italian-American parents, Andy Polizzi and his wife Helen.
Snooki has had two different DNA tests run so that she can learn more about her family tree. The initial DNA analysis, which was performed in 2014, revealed that she had European, Asian, and Jewish origins. After another five years, in January 2019, she underwent a second DNA test, which revealed that she is descended from both indigenous people of Chile and Europeans. Her mother works as an office manager, while her father is a volunteer firefighter and supervisor at an auto-salvage facility. Snooki’s middle name is “Snookie.” Florham Park, New Jersey is where Snooki calls home.
Her behavior on the show, which has been cited by The New York Times as a reason for the public’s contempt for her despite her “strange appeal” has made her the subject of such feelings. One indicator of her popularity is the fact that in 2010, her Halloween costume was reportedly one of the most sought after among celebrity costumes. Snooki was reportedly making a total of $150,000 for each episode when the program was at the pinnacle of its success.
Snooki received a blow to the face by a New York City school gym teacher named Brad Ferro while the scene was being filmed in Seaside Heights. The punch was shown in the promos for the episode, but it was edited out of the actual broadcasts of the episode. Videos of the punch quickly gained a large number of views on YouTube and were featured in a variety of news outlets. Snooki’s appearance costs went from $2,000 per event to $10,000 per event after the punch became public knowledge.
Snooki was the one to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on July 27, 2010, when the cast of Jersey Shore made an appearance there. Snooki made the news public that she was going to marry Jionni LaValle in March of 2012. Lorenzo Dominic LaValle was born on August 26, 2012, and he is the first child that the couple had together. Snooki gave birth to him. Snooki made her post-pregnancy weight loss claim on the cover of the March 2013 issue of Us Weekly. She stated that she had shed 42 pounds since giving birth.
Snooki was taken into custody on the 30th of July, 2010, in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, on charges of disturbing the peace, engaging in disorderly conduct, and being a criminal annoyance to others. In exchange for her guilty plea on September 8, the judge Damian G. Murray reduced the remaining two charges against her to a dismissal and sentenced her to community service and a fine of $500. Snooki was referred to as “a Lindsay Lohan wannabe” by the judge as he handed down the punishment. The footage of her arrest was captured on camera during production of the third season of Jersey Shore.
On the edition of WWE Monday Night Raw that aired on March 14, 2011, Snooki made an appearance. During her visit, she participated in a segment alongside John Morrison, Vickie Guerrero, and Dolph Ziggler. Snooki’s book, titled A Shore Thing, was published in January of 2011, and in it, she detailed her experience of looking for love on the boardwalk.
When Snooki gave a speech at Rutgers University in April 2011, she was compensated with 32 thousand dollars. She discussed a variety of topics, such as the challenges of being a celebrity and the things she believes students should focus on the most in the classroom. Gorilla Beach, the author Snooki’s third novel, was published on the 15th of May in 2012. It is the follow-up to Snooki’s debut novel, which was titled A Shore Thing.
Snooki was detained for a short period of time by the local authorities in Florence, Italy, on May 31, 2011, after the vehicle she was driving was involved in a collision with a parked traffic police car. Snooki was reportedly issued a citation before being let go by the Italian police. Two policemen of the police force were hurt, albeit just slightly.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, Snooki filed a breach of contract lawsuit against SRG Ventures, a licensing company she had signed a contract with the previous year to put out Snooki-branded items such as watches, shoes, lingerie, and school supplies. She asserted that the corporation had not sufficiently pursued such licensing options despite having enough opportunity to do so. The company filed a countersuit, alleging that she and her manager had hindered its efforts by negotiating directly with manufacturers and delaying their choices. The company further said that they had done this together.
Snooki and Jennifer Farley, who co-starred with her on Jersey Shore, got a contract to star in a spin-off program called Snooki & Jwoww in 2011, and the show made its debut on MTV in June of the following year.
The first season featured Snooki and Farley as they moved in together, and the two of them have described their show as being similar to a contemporary version of Laverne & Shirley. 495 Productions used an old two-story firehouse in Jersey City, New Jersey, to film the first season. The building is located near Grove and Mercer Streets. The production company filmed there for a total of six weeks.
On January 8, 2013, the second season of the show began broadcasting after it was moved to the actual permanent dwellings of the cast members. The episode length for this season was increased to one hour each. Due to the fact that Snooki would no longer be able to engage in the “hard-partying, booze-swilling” antics that had previously brought in high ratings for MTV, speculation arose in March 2012 regarding how the creative direction of her spin-off would be affected. Snooki’s pregnancy was confirmed in March of that year.
The show, which aired for a total of four seasons until coming to an end in February 2015, detailed her experiences during pregnancy and the early years of her role as a mother. It was revealed on Good Morning America on September 4, 2013, that Snooki would be a contestant on the 17th season of Dancing with the Stars, and she would be paired with a new dancer named Sasha Farber for the competition. In spite of obtaining favorable ratings and comments from the panel of judges, they were eliminated on October 28, 2013, after finishing in eighth place.
Giovanna Marie LaValle, the couple’s second child, was born on September 26, 2014, and she weighed in at 6 pounds and 7 ounces. Snooki weds fellow Jersey Shore cast member Jionni LaValle on November 29, 2014.
The first season of Nicole & Jionni’s Shore Flip aired on FYI in early 2016, and featured both Snooki and her husband in starring roles. Snooki has been starring alongside Farley in the web series Snooki & Jwoww: Moms With Attitude, which was created by AwesomenessTV and debuted in November of 2015. Late in 2017, the show’s second season came to a successful conclusion. It was revealed that she would be competing on The New Celebrity Apprentice on January 28, 2016, and the announcement was made public.
Snooki revealed in October 2016 that she has gone under the knife to achieve a C cup size with breast augmentation. She revealed that she was expecting her third child on November 22, 2018, by posting a message to her Instagram account.
On December 13, 2018, she announced on YouTube that she would be carrying another boy, and that he would be named Angelo. She said this news was very exciting. Snooki gave birth to her third kid, a son named Angelo James LaValle, on the 30th of May, 2019. Snooki admitted on February 14, 2021, that she had a positive test result for COVID-19 and that she was isolating herself from the rest of her family, who had all received negative test results.
