Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's Fiance Threw Her Out And Suggested Rehab Following A Post-Lorenzo Drinking Binge
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi seemed to have said goodbye to her party girl lifestyle when she welcomed son Lorenzo in 2012, but according to Polizzi, that was far from the case. In fact, her fiancé, Jionni LaValle, once kicked her out of his home and urged her to go to rehab after she began drinking in excess after their son was born.
In her new book, Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama and All the Milestones Along The Way, Polizzi is opening up about how her drinking nearly destroyed her family.
"About a month after Lorenzo was born, I went on a girls' night out …," Polizzi wrote. "In the limo to the club, we popped open a bottle of Campagne and had more vodka.. I was drunk before we hit the highway."
And after the club, things got even worse.
"After champagne we switched to sake bombs … Four different kinds of alcohol were pushed through my pregnancy-scrubbed liver. I got twisted," Polizzi explained. "After being a saint for ten months, I had no idea what my tolerance level was anymore. I blacked out, and only found out what happened the next day."
"Apparently I managed to pack a lot of trouble into just a few hours, giving all the girls a lap dance, making out with, er, everyone … I knew it had been filmed and that Jionni would find out the truth. I had to tell him what happened, but I didn't have the mental focus or strong stomach to say it to his face."
Polizzi reportedly texted LaValle with the shocking details of her night. The text read, "I blacked out last night and made out with Jenni [Farley]."
LaValle wasn't happy.
"He scooped up Lorenzo and said, 'Stay away from me, you're a coward and a horrible mother and fiancée.'" Then, he told her to "pack your bags and get out."
"Jionni had also mentioned something about rehab," Polizzi admitted.
Upon leaving, Polizzi drove straight to Farley's home where her best friend assured her, "You don't need rehab. You just need a break."
As dramatic as the incident was, it put things in perspective for Polizzi who immediately promised that she'd never again take things so far. "I vowed then and there that I'd stop drinking," she said. "I didn't' ever want to fight like that with Jionni again."
