Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Claims Her Infamous “Where’s The Beach” Arrest Wasn’t What It Seemed

Nicole Snooki Polizzi called out Jersey Shore producers for conspiring against her in an early season of MTV‘s iconic reality show. Over a decade later, Snooki believes that producers dictated her arrest.

During an episode of the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast, the 36-year-old reality star claimed a producer asked the police to arrest her during her iconic “Where’s The Beach?” scene.

The scene of the crime … literally:

On July 30, 2010, Snooki was arrested and booked in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, for disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct and criminal annoyance. That September, charges were dropped and she was fined $500 and ordered to do two days of community service.

Snooki’s fond memories of the incident:

Despite this, Snooki still insisted it was her favorite moment from the six season series, before the gang’s reunion series, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. Snooki detailed what happened on the season three, episode three ‘Where’s The Beach’ episode.

“So I woke up that day and I was drinking nonstop, you know when you wake up and you feel like the shakes are coming you’re like ‘I’m going to shit, I’m going to throw up’ but I have to be on camera and I have to go this shift. I woke up still in my party dress with my blanket on walking to my shift and Danny.”

To sober up, Snooki decided to chug a beer. “I was like ‘I can’t do this’. So that’s when I ran. I just ran to the bar and took shots just to start feeling better. Then, I just didn’t stop. I felt good … I was like I’m not going to go back to work I was meeting all these random people I think I made out with an old man!”

Snooki admitted, “It was a nightmare, but I had a great time. So, that happened. I knew the beach was right there but my drunk self was like ‘How do I get on the beach?’ … Because there’s only a certain amount of entries to get on the beach. I couldn’t find them anywhere so I was like ‘Where’s the beach?'”

Reality check:

Despite Snooki’s disappearance from work making for great reality television, Snooki claimed producers needed to reel her in.” So I started to blackout when the cops were handcuffing me. But, little secret though … those cops weren’t on shift for the town. They were on shift from production to make sure they are protecting us from crazy people.”

“So I don’t even think it’s legal because they weren’t working for the town but I watched the video back and one of the producers said ‘Just arrest her.'”

One of the highlights from this episode, in my humble opinion, was Snooki telling the cops ‘You guys are no fun” at the end of the scene. 

The new season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will premiere in September on MTV.
