"Are you f**king kidding me? I'm in shock. This is all that I've wanted for so long. Is this real?" she said.
The search results went beyond finding her father's location. Slaton shared details about Angelina's extended family, including a living grandmother, an aunt, and a 26-year-old half-sister. The discovery followed Angelina's statement about her identity crisis. After receiving her DNA test results in September 2023, she wrote on Instagram:
"My identity for years was a lie. This is my story and I'm allowed to speak the truth about what people have put me through."
During the intense conversation, Slaton guided Angelina through her options. She advised taking time to process the information before making decisions about contacting her birth father. The genealogist offered professional guidance on handling such sensitive family connections, explaining each possible step forward.
Cast member Sammi "Sweetheart" provided immediate emotional support, hugging Angelina as she processed the information.
"This moment touches my heart. I feel for her right now," Sammi shared in a private interview segment.
The usually divided group came together, setting aside their ongoing disagreements to support their castmate during this pivotal moment.
Fellow star Mike expressed genuine concern for Angelina's situation despite their previous conflicts. Vinny, who worked alongside Mike to arrange the genealogist's involvement, shared his initial anxiety about receiving Slaton's message. His concern shifted to relief upon learning the positive nature of the findings.
The typically playful dynamic between cast members shifted to one of mutual support and understanding.
Following the emotional revelation in Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 6, Mike and Angelina's feud came to a resolution. Mike acknowledged that their arguments seemed pointless in light of recent events. Angelina also expressed appreciation for Mike's changed behavior, noting his restraint during recent interactions.
Setting up season 7
The season 6 finale episode concluded with plans for future developments. The show announced its return with a reunion, part 1 scheduled for November 30, 2023, and part 2 for December 7, 2023, on MTV.
In the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 7 premiere, Angelina's father made an appearance. She described meeting her father to Mike and Lauren, saying:
“Everything got weird that night that I met him, he grabs my watch and he's like, 'Is that a Rolex?' I really didn't want to think anything of it but then his dog had this big infection and he asked if I had money for the dog, so I took him to the vet that I go to and it was $1,000.”
In the May 23, 2024 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 7 reunion, Angelina revealed that she is no longer with her birth father due to the same reasons.
