JWoww's Ex-Boyfriend Arrested & Charged With Extortion After She Reported Him!

Jenni “JWoww” Farley’s creep ex-boyfriend has once again reportedly tried — and failed — to victimize her.
According to an Instagram post by the Toms River Police Department on Wednesday, Thomas Lippolis was arrested days after the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star reported that he “had attempted to extort $25,000 from her in exchange for not divulging secrets to the media about Farley” earlier this week.

The 32-year-old MTV icon spoke out on her ex’s arrest in a statement to ET, applauding “the Toms River Police and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office for their professionalism, expedited response time and unwavering attention to detail that resulted in an immediate arrest after I was the target of a serious crime.” She added:

“I feel fortunate to have the support of law enforcement of this caliber by my side, which has thankfully kept me and my children safe from those who have sought to victimize me… While I am unable to comment any further in light of the ongoing investigation, I offer to you that I will share more once this matter is concluded, but in the meantime ask that you please respect the private nature of these legal matters so that the authorities may properly conduct their business operations.”

Farley reported on Monday that Lippolis, whom she “had dated for close to a year approximately ten years ago,” called up her publicist and demanded the money in exchange for keeping alleged secrets of hers out of the public ear.

Two detectives investigated the allegations on Wednesday, and arrested and charged Farley’s ex with third-degree extortion.
This wasn’t the first time Lippolis allegedly attempted to exploit the reality star, either. In 2010, he tried to shop around nude pictures of her, but was legally prohibited from doing so because he took them without her permission.
Looks like JWoww’s secrets are safe for now…
