• Snooki claims Wendy Williams handed her a beer on live TV in 2012 to expose her secret pregnancy
• The Jersey Shore star says she put the bottle to her lips but never actually took a sip
• The story resurfaced on the Off The Vine podcast with Kaitlyn Bristowe, where Snooki called Williams “intimidating”
• Snooki is currently battling Stage 1 cervical cancer and preparing for a hysterectomy
• Williams, whose show ended in 2022, is currently fighting a conservatorship

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has a long memory — and she just shared one of her most memorable (and uncomfortable) TV moments. The Jersey Shore star is claiming that Wendy Williams once tried to use a bottle of beer as a live, on-air pregnancy test back in 2012, when Snooki was quietly expecting her first child.

Snooki, 38, opened up about the incident on Tuesday’s episode of Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe, where she was joined by her friend Joey Camasta. It was Camasta who brought it up first — “Remember when she made you drink when you were pregnant?” — and Snooki didn’t hesitate. “She did,” she said plainly.

“She heard there was a rumor that I was pregnant,” Snooki explained. “She brought out beer for me and Jenni [Farley] and goes, ‘Well, let’s see if you’re pregnant!'”

Snooki called the moment “so crazy” — but she wasn’t rattled. She put the bottle to her lips, made it look convincing for the cameras, and never took a single sip. Smart. Williams, apparently satisfied with the performance, announced to her audience: “So you’re not pregnant! That was a pregnancy setup.” Except it absolutely was a setup — and Snooki had just beaten her at her own game.

“She Was Intimidating, For Sure”

Snooki didn’t hold back when it came to describing what it was like to be in Williams’ orbit. “She was intimidating, for sure,” she said on the podcast. That tracks — Williams built her career on catching guests off guard, and the beer maneuver was exactly the kind of ambush she was known for.

In footage from the 2012 appearance, you can actually see it play out: Snooki brings the bottle toward her mouth, takes what looks like a sip, and Williams declares victory. It’s one of those TV moments that feels almost quaint now but was genuinely tense at the time — Snooki was protecting a pregnancy she wasn’t ready to share with the world.

She gave birth to her son Lorenzo that August. He’s now 13. She and her husband Jionni LaValle, who married in November 2014, have since added daughter Giovanna, 11, and son Angelo, 6, to their family.

Snooki had been a guest on The Wendy Williams Show multiple times over the years, racking up plenty of memorable moments — including, apparently, the time she revealed on air that she and Jionni conceived their daughter while he was driving. So the beer incident was just one chapter in a longer, chaotic story.

Where Both Women Are Now

The Wendy Williams Show ended in 2022, and Williams herself is currently navigating a conservatorship that has kept her largely out of the public eye. TMZ’s Harvey Levin has said publicly he doesn’t believe the conservatorship is necessary — a situation that remains ongoing.

Snooki, meanwhile, is dealing with something far more personal. She announced in February that she had been diagnosed with Stage 1 cervical cancer, and in April she confirmed she would be undergoing a hysterectomy as part of her treatment. “I’m not great with pain, so thinking about removing an organ is scary,” she told People. “That’s a part of being a woman and even though I’m done having kids, the thought of not being able to really upset me. It messes with you a little bit.”

As for whether she’d ever sit down with Williams again if the opportunity arose? Based on everything she said on that podcast, it sounds like Snooki would rather keep her secrets — and her beer — to herself.

• Angelina Pivarnick revealed her pregnancy during the May 14 episode of Jersey Shore Family Reunion’s ninth and final season.
• Castmate Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola was by her side when she took — and then retook — the positive pregnancy test.
• The pregnancy happened naturally, surprising Angelina who had been actively exploring IVF and sperm donation.
• The baby’s father is identified only as “John Doe-Nor” on the show; his identity has not been revealed.
• Vinny Guadagnino publicly confirmed he is not the father, leaving him as the only Jersey Shore cast member without children.

Angelina Pivarnick is going to be a mom. The Jersey Shore star made one of the most emotional announcements of the show’s entire run during the May 14 episode of Jersey Shore Family Reunion — and it wasn’t planned, it wasn’t through a donor, and it genuinely caught her off guard.

Standing in a bathroom with castmate Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola by her side, Angelina held up a positive pregnancy test and could barely believe what she was looking at. “There’s no way that it just happened naturally,” she said, visibly stunned. “There’s no sperm donor now!”

She was so shocked, she took a second test just to be sure.

In a confessional, Angelina let the reality sink in. “I did not think I was able to get pregnant,” she said. “But wow, I’m… pregnant. This could be a great thing. This could be my fairy tale, my path, my baby.”

Sammi, who welcomed her own son Vincent with husband Justin May just months ago, was overcome with emotion. “I got chills,” she told Angelina. “I’m gonna cry for you. I knew it. I literally have goosebumps!”

A Journey That’s Been Playing Out All Season

The pregnancy revelation didn’t come out of nowhere — at least not for viewers who’ve been watching Season 9 unfold. During the premiere just one week earlier, Angelina had opened up to Sammi and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi about her deep desire to become a mother, even as her romantic life hadn’t cooperated. She mentioned having a “vial of sperm” in her refrigerator and was actively considering IVF. (She later clarified via Instagram Stories that some of what she said was “intended in jest” and that comments about being with multiple men “do not reflect my real life.”)

So when the natural pregnancy test came back positive — during, of all things, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his wife Lauren’s daughter Luna’s first birthday party — the moment hit differently. Mike was later seen struggling to keep the secret to himself.

It’s also worth knowing that Angelina suffered a miscarriage back in 2011, which makes this moment carry even more weight. She turns 40 next month.

“We’re Having a Baby”

After the test results sank in, Angelina called the father — identified on the show only as “John Doe-Nor,” a playful nod to the sperm donor route she had been considering. His face and voice aren’t shown on camera.

“So I have some news for you,” she told him. “I am officially, definitely pregnant — we’re having a baby!”

After the episode aired, she took to X to confirm it for fans: “I’m pregnant !!!! #jsfamilyvacation.” In a follow-up post, she added, “Guys secrets out !!! I’m pregnant 🙂 Thankful for @SammiSweetheart for being by my side when I found out.”

There is some curiosity swirling around the timeline — the episode is believed to have been filmed in March 2025, and Angelina has yet to share bump photos or any updates about the birth. Fans are watching her social media closely.

The Last One Standing — Almost

For longtime Jersey Shore fans, this moment closes a chapter. Angelina and Vinny Guadagnino were the last two cast members without children — and now it’s just Vinny.

Vinny wasted no time on X after the episode aired, quipping that Angelina’s baby is “not mine” — a callback to a memorable 2023 episode where Angelina jokingly told him to “just jerk off in a freaking cup and give it to” her. He is not the father. He remains, as the Cheat Sheet noted, the sole cast member who has yet to have children.

The rest of the crew has been building their families for years. Snooki has three kids with Jionni LaValle. Jwoww has two with ex Roger Matthews. Deena Cortese has two sons. Mike Sorrentino has three children with Lauren. Sammi just had her son Vincent. Even Ronnie Ortiz-Magro became a dad back in 2018.

Angelina’s road to this moment has been anything but smooth — a marriage to Chris Larangeira that ended in divorce, an engagement to Vinny Tortorella that fell apart earlier this year, and years of fertility questions. But standing in that bathroom, positive test in hand, she said it best herself: “This could be my fairy tale.”

New episodes of Jersey Shore Family Reunion air Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
