Angelina Pivarnick and Nikki Hall had their first reunion since going at it during a trip to San Diego in 2022. On the Thursday, October 10, episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, the women came face-to-face for the first time since the fight.
“It’s a little awkward seeing Nikki,” Angelina, 38, admitted. “Last time I saw her was when I turned the water into wine like Jesus Christ [and poured it on her]. But I think she’s over it. I think I’m over it. We hugged it out. She even made us shots.”
The reunion took place at one of Nikki’s boyfriend, Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio’s, shows in Las Vegas. Footage showed Angelina and Nikki, 32, sharing a hug in the VIP section of the event. The episode was filmed in February.
Angelina and Nikki’s issues began while filming season 5 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation in April 2022. During a cast trip to San Diego, Angelina and Vinny Guadagnino went at it and she threw water on him. Some of the water accidentally landed on Nikki. When Nikki retaliated by throwing water back at Angelina, the Staten Island native tossed red wine back at her, covering Nikki in the dark liquid.
The fight escalated when Angelina locked herself in another room and Pauly, 44, broke down the door to confront her. Nikki then took her own bottle of red wine and poured it on Angelina.
The next morning, the trio talked it out and Angelina admitted she didn’t realize she was pouring wine on Nikki. “I just went and grabbed whatever. And I didn’t even realize it was, like, wine,” she explained. “And then I threw it. I’m so sorry I did that, by the way. I had no clue.” Nikki also apologized for pouring wine.
Although the women seemed to be on good terms, fans noticed that Nikki was no longer on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation when the show returned for season 6 in 2023. At the time, she explained that she was taking a break from the show for her mental health, but fans speculated that it was because she no longer wanted to film with Angelina (Nikki has never commented on this theory).
The first half of season 7 in 2024 was also Nikki-free. However, she made her grand return for part 2 of season 7, which premiered in September. “Me and Nikki, we’re great. We’ve been together over four years now. It’s the longest relationship I’ve ever had,” Pauly gushed.
Pauly and Nikki met on season 1 of Double Shot at Love, but he decided to leave the show single instead of pursuing a relationship with her. She returned for season 2 in 2019. This time, they wanted to make the romance work when filming ended. They’ve been going strong ever since.
“It’s always great to see Nikki and she really fits in really well with the dynamic of the squad and I definitely think that we’re going to see a lot more of her, as well,” Mike exclusively told Life & Style in September. “I think Nikki is always authentic to herself, as well as all of the other castmates. And that’s what’s so great about Nikki. She gives her opinion, she’s not afraid to do it.”
