Jersey Shore is a Sham! Three Cast Members Aren’t Italian!?
Just as RadarOnline reported hat a national American-Italian group is considering legal action against MTV over Jersey Shore‘s portrayal of young Italian Americans as booze-fueled partiers, one of the cast members spills some shocking information: three of the eight cast members aren’t Italian.
WHAT!? This is Jersey Shore, the Italian-American reality show, right? So how does a show that claims to have “the hottest, tannest, craziest Guidos” (or “Guidettes”, but we at Dr. Jays Live don’t support the term. It’s just what MTV said about its series!) not have an all-Italian cast? They had everybody who watched the favorite TV reality show fooled until Tuesday, when Jenni “J-WOWW” Farley cast member spilled the beans in an interview with FOX’s “The Strategy Room”. If you’re short on time, fast forward to 15:40 deep into the video, where she reveals who’s real and who isn’t!
Wow! She’s not Italian, and neither is Ronnie (Spanish) nor is Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi (Chilean). This controversy may seem insignificant, until you think about its ramifications. It would be one thing for Italian-Americans to be portrayed by the media in a certain way. But it’s another thing if people who aren’t Italian-American are representing and glorifying a certain Italian-American lifestyle that isn’t in fact their own, culturally speaking. Do you think that this is a problem? Is anybody in the wrong? Or is this just another reckless reality show situation, and did you expect something like this? Let us know in the comment section!
i don’t even understand how they let someone so stupid like this j-woww girl hit the media outlets and talk for more than 1 minute. she sounds ridiculous.
honestly? who cares. change the channel.
Kinda off topic but I think it’s awesome that a national Italian group is suing for it’s media representation. Black people should do the same for pretty much any portray on BET or VH1.
lol it’s “reality t.v.” what do you expect. reality?
What can you expect from someone who wants to be a reality star?? These people don’t care what they are portrayed as long they are being talked about. Hopefully everyone doesnt base their opinion of Italian-Americans from this show, if you do… you are an idiot.
It would be funny if we start to find out some of the black castmates from other reality shows aren’t really black. I kinda saw this one coming a mile away though…Snooki always looked different, I just thought she had a bad tan job o_0
even if no one bases their opinion of italian-americans from this show, the fact is, the portrayal is still there. imagine a show made of sterotypical representations of another ethnic group, say african amfericans. how many people would jump up and say something? i do think its good for that group to take some sort of action, tho.

i think its BULL…lol…naa but its kinda messed up that they calling themselves “guido” and they’re not even italian…thats like a tan white dude callin himself a n*gga…just stoopid.
