Breaking her silence: Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola explained Friday why she was the only original castmember to skip MTV's Jersey Shore Family Vacation spin-off (pictured April 20)

The Sweetheart Styles designer was likely referring to her tempestuous on/off relationship with Ronnie Ortiz-Magro (2009-2015), but he denied Thursday that he was the reason she stayed away.
'No bad blood. I'm supporting everything she does,' the Bronx-born 32-year-old told Entertainment Tonight.
'Me and Sammi have been done for about three years. I've done a single show, Famously Single, I had multiple relationships. We ended on a term that it is what it is, and she chose to move on in a chapter in her life that did not choose Jersey Shore.
'I chose Jersey Shore, and we all support her as a group. Whatever makes her happy, makes her happy. I can't judge her for it.'
