"lauren and mike are so weird. ang was there for y’all too! the baptisms, birthdays, and store openings! haven’t seen y’all on her podcast. just in the confessionals dragging her!" a fan wrote.
"How you gon block the man & expect a invite. What was he supposed to do, send a telegram? Why would he want someone not messing with him to celebrate his daughter's birthday with him and his family?" another fan commented.
Many Jersey Shore: Family Vacation fans criticized Mike for unnecessarily villainizing Angelina.
"lol mike is ridiculous. y’all don’t even want angelina to breathe but think she should keep in touch?? that’s so odd to me," a netizen tweeted.
"Love Lauren but let's be real. Mike has been there for Angelina a bit BUT he has also started a lot of the drama for her. He is not some wonderful guy. He starts it then acts like a peacemaker," a user reacted.
"Lauren naming all the ways that Mike has "been there" for Angelina while conveniently leaving out the fact that he consistently uses those instances to gain information and expose it to the group in order to push Angelina further and further into mess," a person commented.
At the same time, many Jersey Shore: Family Vacation fans called out Angelina for expecting an invite despite not keeping in touch with Mike.
"Ok, Angelina has a narcissistic personality. She just doesn't get it. I don't think she CAN get it," another fan wrote.
"So you wanna have it out with Mike for not inviting you to his daughter's birthday, you do know you aren't entitled to be invited to anything right? Especially when you constantly bring drama wherever you go," a user tweeted.
"Angelina is a hot mess and does nothing but cause issues across the board. How does she not realize all the double standards that come out of her mouth?" a netizen commented.
What happened between Angelina and Mike in Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 7 episode 19?
During a conversation with Vinny, Mike opened up about his troubled relationship with Angelina. He mentioned he talked with her on their last vacation three months ago, but there had been no communication after that.
"She doesn't reach out, she doesn't call back," Mike added.
The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star confessed he was "hurt" by Angelina's behavior. Despite "supporting her through thick and thin," he felt their relationship became "one-sided." He expressed his disappointment when Angelina "ghosted" him for six months. Mike was "sick" of the lack of reciprocation and was ready to move on.
Since she had not "been a good friend" to him, he did not invite Angelina to his daughter, Mia Bella's first birthday party.
"I'm tired of doing the same thing every single year. She hasn't spoken to us, so I'm drawing a line in the sand. Something's gotta give," Mike stated.
Later, while talking to the female cast members at Mia Bella's birthday, Mike revealed that a month ago Angelina blocked him online. Although the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation cast member wished things were different, he was not ready to invite her to the party and let her ruin it.
Angelina was furious she was not invited, so she texted Mike saying, "You're a piece of sh*t." Meanwhile, Lauren reassured Mike that he was not to blame since he had been there for her in the past.
Later at the meatball competition, Mike and Angelina came face-to-face. Angelina was taken by surprise when Mike called her "satan."
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will return with another episode on September 26, 2024, at 8 pm ET, only on MTV.
