Jersey Shore: Lauren Sorrentino Explains Her Dinner Outburst

Lauren Sorrentino, wife of Mike "The Situation," shocked viewers of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation when she snapped at Deena Nicole Cortese and a waiter at dinner, but on the heels of Thursday's episode, she says it was all a misunderstanding. For the five seasons of the Jersey Shore spinoff, which shows the roomies all grown up with spouses and children, Lauren has been a steady force of positivity. She stood by Mike through his brief stint in prison, formed friendships with Deena and the other ladies of Jersey Shore, and accompanied her husband on several getaways with the crew. Her recent outburst seemed out of character and, according to Lauren, there's most to the story than what was shown on TV.

Currently on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 5, the group is staying at a lavish resort in the Florida Keys - a hilarious mix-up by Mike, who thought he booked an international trip. Aside from Angelina Pivarnick not having fresh underwear due to her luggage being unable to fit on the private jet, all was going well. Mike and Lauren even enjoyed a sweet anniversary picnic, complete with "chicken tendies" and Funfetti cupcakes. However, when the pair joined the others for dinner, things took a negative turn. Not only did Lauren bluntly bash her food to the waiter, she also got an attitude with Deena and Vinny Guadagnino. Throughout dinner, Lauren kept insisting that she needed to check on son Romeo and go to sleep. When Deena informed Lauren that she also has a newborn but was willing to hang out with everyone, Lauren countered that Deena should be with her baby instead.

Following the surprising scene, Lauren took to Instagram to provide an explanation for her actions. At the time the episode was filmed, Lauren was five months postpartum and suffering "severe PTSD from Romeo's very scary and serious NICU stay." After Romeo's birth, his parents were unable to take him home for two weeks because he spiked a fever. "That was my first 24 hours away from him, hoping he was ok in a hotel room w family (of course he was but I was stressed)," said Lauren. "I was anxious and out of my comfort zone." She added that a few strong and spicy margaritas didn't help the situation and admitted that she should've excused herself and met Mike in their room later.

Additionally, Lauren shared that much of the scene included "editing magic for sensationalism." Her harsh critique of the food, said Lauren, was actually part of a conversation with Mike. The placement of her dialogue by producers made it seem as though it was directed at the wait staff. As for her outburst toward Deena and Vinny, that also wasn't what it seemed. "The outbursts were directed at producers - for not acknowledging my voiced concerns and needs for hours - and not to the cast, but I can understand that's hard to see as a viewer - I did apologize to D & Vinny who I both love and respect."

The majority of Lauren's social media followers, including a number of fellow moms, completely understood how she was feeling in that moment. "I reacted the same way when I was deep in postpartum mode. New mamas need to be given a little grace," said one fan. Another commented, "Honestly, if any of us (especially new moms) were filmed 24/7 on a vacation, there would be dozens of grouchy moments on camera for everyone to judge." If there's one thing the Jersey Shore cast is good at, it's reconciling after tense interactions such as this. As long as Angelina's luggage arrives as Mike said it would, the rest of the vacation should hopefully be smooth sailing.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms, Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
