NEW JERSEY, CALIFORNIA: Angelina Pivarnick, a 'Jersey Shore' star, was recently arrested at her home in New Jersey. She is facing multiple charges, including simple assault, criminal mischief, obstructing the administration of law, and resisting arrest.

The incident occurred over the past weekend while Angelina was at home with her fiancé, Vinny Tortorella. While specific details about the altercation are limited due to legal confidentiality rules, it is known that police responded to her house following a disturbance.

Angelina's lawyer clarified that the incident was minor and escalated due to Angelina's adverse reaction to the over-the-counter medication she had been prescribed. This reaction played a role in the circumstances that led to her arrest.

Despite the charges, Angelina was not required to stay in jail. Instead, she was issued a municipal summons, akin to a ticket for less severe offenses, and subsequently released. She is scheduled to appear in court in July to address these charges.

Notably, this is not the first time trouble has occurred at Angelina's home. In November 2023, the police were called for a domestic violence incident involving Angelina and Vinny. However, no charges were pressed at that time. Currently, both Angelina and Vinny have not publicly commented further on the recent arrest.

Angelina Pivarnik slams fans for asking about mental health

Angelina Pivarnik recently voiced her frustration with fans for asking about her mental health. She expressed annoyance over the continuous inquiries and comments regarding her well-being, stating that such questions feel intrusive and insensitive. She emphasized that mental health is a personal and private matter.

During an Instagram live session, Angelina emphasized the importance of respecting boundaries and allowing individuals to manage their mental health without unsolicited input or judgment from others.

"What is your mental health diagnosis?” a fan asked. To which Angelina replied, "Oh, wait, that’s right. That’s for my therapist to know. I’m not bipolar. I am not on drugs, and I would gladly show you guys my blood test and pee on a drug test for all of you guys out there,” she said, “Because the narrative’s getting old.”

Angelina Pivarnik’s ‘no more drinking’ stirs pregnancy rumors 

Angelina Pivarnick recently sparked pregnancy rumors with a post on her Instagram Stories. In April 2024, she shared a photo of herself and her fiancé, Vinny, dining at Applebee's, accompanied by a caption that caught fans' attention.

Angelina wrote, "Finally getting better and went to our fave spots @applebees, and yes I said it :) @vinnyhandsome … I’ve decided no more drinking, and a lot of my story will come up on my podcast that was just announced."

This declaration of quitting alcohol, especially after being seen drinking in recent episodes of the show, led fans to speculate that she might be pregnant. Comments on Reddit and Instagram further fueled these rumors, with some noting that Vinny had liked a post congratulating him on potentially becoming a father.

The timing of this announcement, combined with Angelina's previous discussions about wanting to have children, has added to the belief that a baby might be on the way. However, Angelina has not confirmed or denied these speculations, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more information on her upcoming podcast.
