Jersey Shore: Family Vacation - Pauly D. reveals he underwent a blood transfusion

In Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 7 episode 14, Pauly D opened up about a health issue he faced when the cast was shooting in Nashville.

During the shoot three weeks ago, the cast member requested a break while filming a confessional. He told the producers that he felt dizzy and asked if they had any crackers lying around. Pauly D. repeatedly told them he didn't feel well, and the crew asked him if he wanted some fresh air. The cast member revealed that he couldn't breathe, and the producers called 911 for medical assistance.

While filming Thursday's segment, the producers asked the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 7 cast member whether he was sharing with fans about his health issues in Nashville, and the cast member nodded "yes." Pauly D. revealed that during the shoot, he underwent a "little" problem, i.e., a ruptured hemorrhoid that bled throughout the night.

"It was bleeding so bad that I lost so much blood that I actually fainted," Pauly told the cameras.

The MTV star added that he had to be rushed to the hospital and had to undergo a blood transfusion. He called the situation "gnarly" and expressed gratitude towards his girlfriend, Nikki Hall, who flew to Nashville to be there for him.

While the cast was exiting the restaurant, Vinny told Pauly D that he looked like a "million dollars," and the latter told him that he "bounced right back."

In a confessional, Vinny added that it was hard to believe that the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 7 cast member wasn't "actually superhuman." He added that he had never seen Pauly get a cold or anything bad happen to him.

While in the car, Deena asked Pauly for details about the incident, and Pauly revealed that he was bleeding internally. He added that "it was crazy" and that he had to cancel his upcoming shows. Pauly further said that it was the first time he had to do that.

"Honestly for me, that was the scariest part, having to cancel my show. They have these kids that like, saved up for a year, they bought outfits, they got haircuts, they bought tickets, all to see me and I couldn't make it. I've never done that before," Pauly D told the cameras.

Deena expressed how scary it must have been and noted that the cast member looked good. Pauly reiterated how scary the experience was and praised the Nashville team for their prompt actions.
