Jersey Shore stars Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola and Deena Cortese have claimed that Ryan Reynolds was ‘rude’ during an encounter.
The Deadpool actor, 46, has become a firm favorite with Hollywood fans over the last few years – but it turns out that he didn’t leave the MTV stars with the best impression.
The Jersey Shore gang – also made up of Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, Mike ‘the Situation’ Sorrentino, Jenni ‘J-Woww’ Farley, Pauly D, Angelina Pivarnick and Vinny Guadagnino – stopped by Watch What Happens Live on Thursday to promote the latest season of their Family Vacation spin-off, when they played a game with host Andy Cohen.
During the appearance, they were asked: ‘Who was the rudest celebrity you interacted with once Jersey Shore became a hit?’
Sammi was quick to answer, and replied: ‘Me and Deena encountered a rude celebrity once, but we don’t want to say who it is.’
After some prying from the cast, Deena confessed: ‘Ryan Reynolds was not great to us.
‘I love Ryan Reynolds. I truly love Ryan Reynolds still, and I love Blake Lively… He didn’t want to be by us.’
Sammi stepped in to defend the Hollywood favorite, suggesting that the Wrexham owner may have ‘had a bad day’ when they met.
That wasn’t the only name mentioned as Snooki also recalled an unpleasant moment with The View panelist Joy Behar.
‘Joy was so mean to me,’ she admitted. ‘She cornered me in the bathroom and said, ‘You’re not Italian!”
‘I said, “Okay, ma’am.”’
The new series of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation marks the first time Sammi has reunited with her co-stars since leaving the original MTV program.
Although her castmates all returned for the spin-off when it aired in 2018, the 36-year-old decided to sit the program out.
Speaking to Variety, she opened up about why she took time away from the spotlight, explaining: ‘I needed the time to regroup and figure out my own life.
‘I wasn’t in a good head space. I just couldn’t do the show back then. And I’m happy that I’m able to be able to come back and do it now.
‘I missed filming all those years. Why not come back and try it again, give it a shot, and see if I like it.
‘I didn’t have any bad blood with anybody through the years, I was just living my own life.
