Breaking down Angelina and Sammi’s drama on ‘Jersey Shore.’
In the show’s 7th season, Angelina and Sammi aren’t exactly seeing eye to eye. Angelina appears to be envious of the attention Sammi has garnered since her return to the show in the latter part of Season 6.
Angelina’s Frustration and Tension with Sammi
The tension between them arises in the Feb. 29, 2024, episode, when Angelina becomes upset that nobody helps her with her luggage at the hotel in Atlantic City. She singles out Sammi, who apparently walked past Ang’s room without offering to help her with her bags.
Despite Angelina eventually joining the girls and heading to the Shore house, her mood remains sour, prompting Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino to point out that “the vibes have totally flipped.”
Sammi’s Perspective and Apology
Expressing confusion over why Angelina keeps mentioning her, Sammi discloses in a confessional that Angelina has been continuously speaking negatively about her for the past week.
Sam then compares Angelina to a toddler having a tantrum, which angers Angelina for the next 12 hours or so. Although Sammi apologizes, it doesn’t resolve their argument. The ladies continue to argue about the remark, with Sammi insisting she has treated Angelina kindly and asking her to “let it go” despite repeatedly apologizing.
Diving Deeper into Angelina and Sammi’s Feud
The producers pick up on the tension between them and question Angelina about her problem with Sam. Angelina responds by airing her grievances, highlighting her past efforts to bring Sam back to the show.
In a confessional, Angelina delves deeper into her issues with Sam, accusing the Hazlet native of attempting to gain attention by targeting her. Yet again, she stresses her pivotal role in Sam’s return to the show and questions why Sam would harbor hostility toward her.
Ongoing Drama and Misunderstanding
Despite attempts to ease the tension with a bar crawl, the drama between Angelina and Sam persists for an extended period. Angelina continues to vent her frustration with Sam, even in the presence of other cast members.
Sadly, attempts at reconciliation are short-lived, as Angelina and Sammi continuously find themselves embroiled in the same arguments. Angelina attributes her outbursts to personal issues involving her father and fiancé, but Sammi insists on being treated respectfully regardless of the circumstances.
Conclusion and Speculation
Later in the episode, most of the cast — excluding Angelina — heads to MetLife Stadium to catch a Jets game. During the journey, the drama spreads to the rest of the cast, who point out Angelina’s pattern of stirring up drama and then playing the victim. They speculate that Angelina’s behavior stems from a craving for attention and resentment toward Sam’s increased prominence on the show.
“I didn’t thank her enough for coming back. Does she want me to bow down? I’ll tell you right f–king now, that ain’t f–king me,” Sam vents to Mike, recalling the situation. Jenni then swiftly brings up the wedding speech debacle, noting Angelina’s tendency to oscillate between highs and lows.
