What happened on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 7 reunion part 2?
In Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 7 reunion, Justina Valentine asked Snooki about what motivated her to find her biological parents. According to Snooki, the process Angelina went through with Pamela's help to reconnect with her birth parents gave her the glimpse that she should look into this matter too.
Snooki was "curious" about her childhood and wanted to make sure there were no biological health issues or concerns that would affect her in the future. The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star explained her adoptive father was skeptical of her birth parents and their motive behind meeting Snooki. She explained:
"I was always curious about it but I was never like, let me do it. Until I saw Angelina with Pamela. And then I saw everything that Pamela did for her."
Then, Snooki hinted at the next season 8, which she had already filmed alongside her fellow cast members. She shared that viewers will see more of this process in the upcoming installment as Snooki doesn't want to rush anything. She continued:
"I want to take it very slowly which I am. And you'll see in the next season that we just filmed that I do a little bit more."
Later in the episode, Snooki was also asked a question about the "mom shaming" she faced from people. Snooki opened up about her experience with parenthood, stating that she had "different personalities" when she was with her friends or went on a trip. However, once she was with her kids, Snooki turned on her "mom mode." The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation cast member elaborated:
"When I'm with my roommates, we have like, these 48-hour trips or I come to the trips without my kids of course I'm going to enjoy myself, have drinks, go a little crazy. But once, I'm home, I'm not drinking. I'm in mom mode."
