When Is Sammi Giancola Appearing on ‘Jersey Shore’?

In the clip, the reality stars were partying in a club in Atlantic City while supporting costar Pauly D, who was performing a DJ set. Sammi was filmed dancing behind the DJ booth alongside Deena and Jenni “JWoww” Farley.

When Did Sammi Giancola Leave ‘Jersey Shore’?
Sammi was a Jersey Shore cast member during seasons 1 to 4 but did not return for season 5. However, she came back for the show’s sixth season at the end of 2012.
After the series finale, Sammi continued her on-again, off-again relationship with former costar and ex Ronnie Ortiz-Magro – who left the show in April 2021 to focus on his mental health. The pair called it quits for good in 2014.
When the show’s reboot, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, premiered in 2018, Sammi chose not to join her former fist-bumping costars.
“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 my relationship,” she wrote via Instagram in March 2018, referencing her ex-fiancé Christian Biscardi. “I am not the same 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. However, it was a difficult decision as I love my roomies. 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!”
