Everything Sammi Sweetheart has said about Jersey Shore since leaving the show

The former reality star made the decision to skip the spin-off, explaining that she wanted to avoid “potentially toxic situations.”

Though she wasn’t willing to compromise her happiness for the show, it still seemed like she hit it off with her co-stars. Well it seems some might have happened along the way, as Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi recently revealed she was blocked by Sammi. She says she doesn’t know what happened – and Sammi hasn’t shared her side of the story yet either.

While things have gone awry between Sammi and her former co-stars lately, she still mostly has good things to say about the years she’s spent on the show since her departure.

Here’s what Sammi said about her time on Jersey Shore…

1. Ahead of the final season of Jersey Shore, Sammi gushed about her time on the show. She even went so far as to say that she would stay on the series for as long as possible.

“I would do this forever…I would keep doing it for a long time,” Sammi told The Better Show.

2. Following the conclusion of Jersey Shore in 2012, Sammi spoke fondly of her time on the show, sharing that she “loved” everyone who did the show with her.

“It’s bittersweet to know that ‘Jersey Shore’ is finally over. I am very upset and sad but thankful it happened. I had a lot of memories and I think it’s time to move on and move on,” she told MTV that year.

3. In a joint interview with then-boyfriend Ronnie Margo about last season, Sammi spoke about how the show had impacted her life and changed her for the better.

“It brought me more than I ever expected, that’s for sure. I’m happier now. I went on the show young and somehow grew up and learned a lot about myself and other people. It definitely made me who I am today. I don’t regret the show. She brought me many interesting moments in my life,” Sammi said in an interview with Clevver News.

4. A few years later, Sammi spoke about the ups and downs of the show. While her least favorite moments were all “crazy relationship dramas,” she shared that she also had a lot of great memories — while still staying in touch with the majority of the cast.

“Some of my favorite moments have been traveling to Italy. That was really, really cool and that was probably my favorite time of year just because we were in another country and it was awesome. But I think it really is. I just loved the whole atmosphere of Jersey Shore – being on the beach. It was fun living this beach life. We worked on the boardwalk, which was a lot of fun,” she told WetPaint in 2017.

She also noted at the time that she was interested in returning to reality TV.

5. Despite Sammi’s earlier desire to give reality TV another try, less than a year later she turned down an opportunity to be a part of Jersey Shore spinoff Jersey Shore Family Vacation. When fans questioned why she wouldn’t be on the show, she explained that she wanted to avoid “toxic situations” that the show could create.

“I’m not the same person I was when I was 22. At 31, I am currently extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially TOXIC SITUATIONS. However, it was a difficult decision as I love my roommates. I have decided to focus on myself, my future and what makes me truly happy. I will forever be grateful to Jersey Shore and all it has brought me! I have chosen to live my life for myself these days,” she posted on Instagram.

6. While Sammi hasn’t shared any further details about her decision not to appear on the spin-off, she has linked to the show on TikTok. In one video, she laughed as she looked back at who she was when she first joined the series.

“When people think I’m the same ‘Sammi’ from 2009,” she captioned the video.

7. In fact, Sammi also joked in a video that she doesn’t remember much from 2009 to 2012, the exact years the show ran on MTV.

“To be honest, I can’t remember. I was probably screwed. I was crazy at the time,” Sammi said in the video.

8th. Sammi also admitted that she watches old “Jersey Shore” clips when they pop up on her TikTok For You page. In a video titled “View old clips of me on my FYP,” she could be seen moving her eyes and even capturing a track of laughter in the background.

9. In another TikTok, Sammi made it clear that she had heard fans’ calls for her to return for Jersey Shore Family Vacation. She issued her response to the constant comments by simply shh-ing and mouthing over a track that said, “I’m living my life!”

In the comments section, Sammi sent love to the fans, writing: “Love and miss you all 💗”

10 Sammi finally gave fans what they were looking for in one of her latest TikToks by saying one of her signature “Jersey Shore” catchphrases.

“I’m the cutest slut you’ll ever meet,” Sammi said in the video, which racked up over 4 million views.

Could she still return, especially since Ronnie is taking a little break? Stay tuned!
