Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi announced on her It’s Happening with Snooki & Joey podcast she's exiting MTV's Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. “I love you so much, and don’t hate me for my decision,” she said. “I am retiring from Jersey Shore. I am not coming back to (Jersey Shore Family Vacation) for season 4 if there is one...The main reason is really … I just can’t do it anymore. Literally, leaving my kids to film it is really, really hard on me." Snooki added: “I try and quit every single day. I quit every time we film because I just hate being away from the kids. I don’t like partying three days in a row. It’s just not my life anymore. I want to be home with the kids. I don’t mind here and there going to a dinner or whatever, but it’s just really hard for me to leave the kids and film the show.”
