The “Hollywood Shore” episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation introduced a new rumor regarding a Jersey Shore cast member. This time it wasn’t about Angelina Larangeira — instead, she started a rumor about Vinny Guadagnino.

Despite Deena Cortese’s efforts to mitigate the tension, there’s a new feud in the house. Here’s what happened in episode 3 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 5.

Angelina and Chris start a rumor about Vinny in ‘Hollywood Shore’ 

Tired of always being in the headlines, the Larangeiras concocted a rumor about Guadagnino. “Yo, word on the street is Vinny got a girl pregnant,” Angelina said at a dinner before Pauly DelVecchio’s show at The Headliner. 

DelVecchio quickly denied the rumor, then FaceTimed Guadagnino for posterity. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, who investigated Angelina’s alleged side-piece in Old Bridge, was sure he would know if Guadagnino got someone pregnant. “This may be a besmudgery,” Sorrentino told cameras.

“Congratulations, by the way — I heard you got somebody pregnant,” Chris tells Guadagnino over FaceTime. Guadagnino denied the rumors while Angelina defended her reasons for spreading them, citing the roommates’ past behavior “spreading rumors about [her].” 

Vinny Guadagnino sells his Los Angeles home in the ‘JSFV’ episode

So far this season, Guadagnino has moved from Staten Island to Los Angeles. In “Hollywood Shore,” he’s moving back to the east coast. 

A quick recap: Guadagnino purchased his home in the Hollywood Hills for $3,510,000 in November 2020 (via TMZ). At the time, he was “bicoastal Vinny.” 

But in season 5 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Guadagnino made a permanent move to the west coast. In “Hollywood Shore,” fans saw Guadagnino list the home and quickly sell it less than a year after moving in, much to the disappointment of his female roommates who came out to California to visit. 

‘Hollywood Shore’ sparks a feud between Vinny and Angelina, Deena tries to squash it 

During their 24-hour trip to LA, Cortese and Larangeira sit down to dinner with Guadagnino to discuss the pregnancy rumor. Guadagnino questioned his roommate about who she heard the rumor from and who claimed to be carrying his child. 

For the record, the rumor is false. 

“That’s not my problem — none of this is my problem, all I’m saying is what I heard,” Larangeira said, standing by the rumor she made up. “People make up stuff about me all the time.”

The Larangeira’s have been in the headlines before regarding their marriage, security doorbell camera footage, and beyond. Guadagnino has a working theory; that’s why Larangeira made up the rumor. “Angelina — her life is crazy messy and she just wants to spread the chaos out to other people,” Guadagnino told cameras.

Meanwhile, Cortese, who orchestrated this trip as a wellness check for Guadagnino, became frustrated by the growing tension. “This was supposed to be a wellness check on Vinny, not a ‘let’s piss Vinny off’ trip,” she said. Despite her rendition of “Happy Birthday” and some not-so-Keto desserts, tensions remained high at the end of “Hollywood Shore.” 

Other notable highlights in the JSFV episode included Jenni “JWoww” Farley’s incredibly delayed flight, plus the Sorrentinos preparing placenta shakes. Tune in new episodes of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation every Jerzday at 8 PM ET on MTV.
