Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola is speaking out for the first time to explain why she is not participating in the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation reunion series.
The 31-year-old TV personality took to Instagram on Friday (March 30) to reveal that she skipped out on the reunion to focus on herself.
“I have chosen not to join the show this season because I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my businesses and relationship,” Sammi writes. “I am not the same person as 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.”
It has been rumored that Sammi did not want to take part in the reunion to avoid working with ex Ronnie Ortiz-Magro – who is currently expecting a daughter with girlfriend Jen Harley next month.
“However, it was a difficult decision as I love my roomies,” Sammi continued. “I’ve decided to focus on me, my future, and what truly makes me happy. I will forever be grateful to Jersey Shore and everything it has brought to me! I’ve just decided to live my life for me these days.”
Sammi has been dating boyfriend Christian Biscardi for nearly two years and have started fitness business “The Strength Spot” together.
“Also I am forever grateful and thankful for all of you!!!” Sammi concludes. “Special shout out to my fans, but I’m not going anywhere! Follow me and stay tuned. You never know what I could be up to NEXT!”
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will premiere on MTV on Thursday, April 5.
