MTV's Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 5 returned for an all-new episode on Thursday night, September 29, 2022, and it was replete with drama. After a fun-filled day out, things took a surprising turn when matters got out of hand between Angelina and Vinny. However, when Nikki got caught in the crossfire, she didn't shy away from taking charge of the situation.

Episode 27 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation showcased Angelina and Nikki getting into an argument when the former accidentally threw water at the latter, however, the original target was Vinny. Nikki was furious and decided to retaliate and, in return, threw water at Angelina's face.

Being her usual self, Angelina didn't let go and decided to retaliate again by taking a glass of wine and throwing it at Nikki. This was when things started to get out of control. Nikki wanted to get back at Angelina and doused the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star with a bottle of red wine.

Fans who witnessed the entire drama unfold took to social media to share their opinions. While some shared that Angelina didn't have to pour wine on Nikki, many slammed the latter, claiming that she was the one who overreacted.

Nikki faces backlash from fans after drama erupts on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation

Taking to Twitter, fans slammed Nikki, claiming she was overreacting. They shared that Angelina barely threw a few drops of water on Nikki and that it didn't justify Nikki retaliation. Some also added that if it was Jenni or Deena, Nikki wouldn't have reacted the way she did towards Angelina.


Here's what happened this week on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation:

The entire backstory of why Angelina threw water went back to a bet Vinny made with her. When the episode aired last week, the cast members went to Nick Cannon's restaurant. They played a game of Wild N Out where it was boys vs. girls.

If the girls won, Vinny had to upload an appreciation post for Angelina on his Instagram page. Luckily, the ladies won, and Vinny was forced to maintain his bet, although he tried to play it off.

Vinny took to his Instagram profile and uploaded a picture of him kissing Angelina on her cheek. He also wrote a beautiful caption that compared her to the moon and stars. However, when his followers started to spam him with messages about his story, Vinny uploaded another story that said "JK."

Angelina, who saw Vinny's second story while she was in the confessional, immediately ran out and threw water on him. It was during this time that Nikki got caught in the crossfire and the entire drama got out of hand. As fans proclaimed, matters escalated out of proportion - and most of it was surely uncalled for.


Jersey Shore: Family Vacation airs MTV every Thursday at 8 pm ET. Readers can check their local listings for more information.
