There was a time when Angelina Pivarnick and Deena Cortese got along really well together. The two former roommates shared a strong bond with each other and always had each others' back. Unfortunately, following the infamous wedding speech at Angelina's wedding, things went south between the two friends. Although Deena apologized to Angelina for the poorly worded wedding speech, the bride wasn't in a mood to forgive just yet. 

But the boys were determined to get back the family together, so they organized a fun trip to Las Vegas and double-booked Deena and Angelina, without telling either of them about it. Initially, both the ladies were fuming at the boys for tricking them into coming on vacation and facing each other, but eventually both the ladies began to calm down. After taking out all her anger and frustration on the life-sized dolls, Angelina mellowed down quite a bit and expressed to Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's girlfriend Lauren Pesce that she was ready to put the whole situation behind her and was hurt by how things panned out between Deena and her. She also expressed an interest in patching things with Deena, which ended up sparking hope in everybody about the beef between the girls finally getting squashed.

Unfortunately, although Deena felt more at ease in the company of her family at the hotel, she was still not ready to sit down with Angelina and have a word with her. She sat down with Mike and Lauren and spilled her heart out assuming that the trio wasn't being filmed. She revealed to them that she got a call from their fellow cast-member Jenni "JWoww" Farley warning her not to listen to the boys and talk to Angelina and gave her an ultimatum declaring that she wouldn't come on the vacation if Deena spoke to Angelina. 

When the boys heard about Jenni's threats, they were furious with her for controlling Deena like a puppet and stressing her out by putting her in such an awkward situation. Just like the boys, even fans were angry with Jenni and slammed her for manipulating and controlling Deena. A fan tweeted, "OMG why would Jenni put Deena in that type of position thats so wrong. Who cares if she makes up with Angelina this has gone on enough #JSFamilyVacation." Another fan wrote, "Jenni needs to grow up & stop trying to manipulate & control Deena cause like that's messed up what she told Deena that if Deena went anywhere near Angelina that she wouldn't come at all seriously!!! #JSFamilyVacation." "I love Jenni but she really do be giving off that Regina George energy.... an aggressive Regina George #JSFamilyVacation," declared a fan.



 



 



 

Fans also slammed Deena for giving into Jenni's threats. A fan commented, "It is evident they Deena clearly does NOT have a mind of her own, The fact that she’s apprehensive of making up and having a grown woman conversation with Angelina because she’s afraid of how that’s going to affect her friendship with Jenni ...is WACK #JSFamilyVacation." Several fans felt that Jenni should just mind her own business and not try to control everybody's lives around her. "#JSFamilyVacation Jenni should mind her business and stay out of everyone's decisions. PERIOD," shared a fan.
