Thursday night’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation could have ended with a huge blowout fight between Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his then fiancée.
In case you didn’t watch, the big bachelor party episode got spiced up with some strippers working it right in The Situation’s face — right up until Lauren Pesce dropped in to surprise her man!
Luckily Mike is a grownup now, and he completely behaved himself and nothing blew up in anyone’s face.
Um, in a manner of speaking…
And yet, somehow, there was still the beginnings of a Family feud. Only it was between Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jenni “JWoww” Farley!
Ronnie had been trying for some time to get JWoww to open up about her surprising split from hubby Roger Mathews, but to no avail. JWoww had decided she would not be discussing it on camera.

He tried once again during the party after JWoww seemed to open the door by looking at Mike and Lauren and saying wistfully:
“Yeah, I don’t have that. Swear to God.”
Ronnie dug a bit deeper, asking:
“But that’s how you fell in love, right?”
Jenni shut it down immediately, saying:
“I don’t want to be on camera with this, either.”
He responded:
“It’s already out there, so just..”
Nope! She said no, bro!
“We don’t talk about it here, though.”
That made Ronnie press even more, saying:
“We’re gonna talk.”
But JWoww wasn’t having any of it. She shot it down with finality:
“No, we’re not talking about it!”
And that was that.

For a while anyway…
Later, Ronnie complained about the encounter with Angelina Pivarnick, who seemed to agree it was awkward to keep silent:
“At the end of the day, there’s a big, fat elephant in the room.”
Ronnie had already gotten a bit too upset… He said:
“‘Cause she’s f**king fake as f**k. You’re fake about your life, you’re fake about everyone else’s life. You’re just f**king fake.”
Angelina didn’t go that far, but she did side with Ronnie, saying she would want to confide in her friends. Ronnie replied:
“That’s why I tried to talk to her earlier at the bar without you guys. I pulled her aside like, ‘How are you? How are you dealing with it?’ And she just said, ‘I don’t wanna talk about that here.’ I was like, ‘So when do we talk about it?’ ‘Uh, just later.'”
Ronnie was not OK with that answer.
“I’d rather you talk about it, whether it’s good or bad, at least I know you feel something. You acting like you feel nothing? That doesn’t work for nobody ever. Like when me and Jen fight, and she acts like… that makes me more mad. You know? Be real.”
Something tells us he doesn’t have to worry too much about Jen Harley holding back her feelings. They both emote so much when they fight it spills onto Instagram! And we don’t know that we’d call them a shining example of a healthy relationship.
Sorry ’bout it.

Ronnie continued:
“Stop acting like you’re not hurting. That’s what I’m saying. Stop acting like you’re not hurting. There’s no way this man is… I know what he’s going through. To be with somebody that’s so cold and shows no emotions and is just so… and all you do is give and give and give, like it hurts.”
Wait, why is he defending Roger all of a sudden?? No wonder Jenni doesn’t want to talk to him about it!
“How do you deal with someone that’s f**king fake and not in touch with their emotions and not communicative? Like I get it. That’s why me and Roger are so close cause we’ve been dealing with the same person, where it’s like, we’re not asking for much, we’re just asking for real-life emotion. That’s the worst thing ever, to be with somebody and not know how they feel. Like you might as well be with a f**king corpse.”
We’re sure JWoww would have found that advice so helpful…
The mother of two actually gave a little more insight into her divorce and her desire to not talk about it in an interview with Us Weekly on Thursday.
She said she’s trying to keep everything “normal” for the kids, explaining:
“It doesn’t really become an issue until, like, someone acknowledges it.”
It doesn’t really become an issue? Or it doesn’t become real??
She continued:
“It’s very, like, fluid… If you make it just a natural setting, I feel like the kids will just adapt to it. If you acknowledge certain things, they acknowledge it. I just try to make everything very organic and as normal as possible.”
Hmm. It’s one thing to keep quiet about your feelings on national TV. It’s another to do it with your family, in the privacy of your own home.
Could Ronnie actually have a point here?? What do YOU think, friends of the Jersey Shore family??
