Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola and Angelina Pivarnick are at odds in Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 7 Episode 5, “Straight to Seaside!”. In episode 4, viewers started to see the cracks in their friendship. But the situation escalates in episode 5.

While the Jersey Shore cast drinks at the bar, Angelina starts negatively talking about Sammi. Angelina claims that she doesn’t have an issue with Sammi — it’s Sammi who has a problem with her. Sammi disagrees, noting that Angelina has negatively talked about her in the past. The situation progresses at the bar, and Sammi calls Angelina out for having a tantrum like a child. Angelina feels disgusted by the comment that she’s acting like a child and uses it as ammo against Sammi for the rest of the night.

The rest of the cast attempts to move on from the situation, but Angelina can’t let it go. She talks to Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi about how Sammi doesn’t respect her. Sammi wants to squash the beef with Angelina and directly asks Angelina to let it go, but it continues to come up at the bar, at the house, and the following morning.

So, what’s the issue between the women? Angelina feels upset that Sammi doesn’t appear to respect her, as Angelina credits herself for bringing Sammi on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. “I literally brought you in thinking you were going to be a friend,” Angelina says of Sammi. “You’ve been nothing of that sort.”

In Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 7, cast members mention the various difficulties that Angelina Pivarnick recently went through. The beginning of the season showed her reuniting with her father, and she has ongoing issues with her fiancé, Vinny “2.0” Tortorella. Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola and Angelina hint that these issues hurt Angelina more than she realizes.

“What’s going on?” Sammi asks Angelina while they fight in the house.

“Why do you keep saying that to me?” Angelina says. “You know what’s going on in my life, Sam.”

“I know Angelina’s gone through a lot,” Sammi tells the producers. “But, at the end of the day, I’ve been there for her.”

Angelina separately tells the producers that she feels disappointed in Sammi’s lack of awareness. “You can’t even have the decency to think about what I’m going through in my life?” she adds.
