When fans watch reality shows, they typically wonder how much of what they’re watching is real and how much is staged/contrived.
Jersey Shorewas initially on the air from 2009 to 2012, and then it returned in its new iteration, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, from 2018 to 2026.
Recently,Ronnie Ortiz-Magroopened up in a new interview with Daily Loud about how much of the show was actually real.
“I would say it was probably 80/20,” Ronnie explained. “80 being… natural and like being that crazy, and the other 20 us knowing – we gotta add – a lot of the things that I’ve done… that… become big deals like, ‘I can’t believe he did that.’ Most of the time I knew what I was doing.”
The topic of Ron cheating on his girlfriend while in Miami also came up as a way to talk about whether the show was actually authentic.
“I mean, was it a poor choice? Yeah, but I knew at the time it was like — I don’t know which time you’re referring to because I had quite [a few] incidents in Miami. Unfortunately… it doesn’t really narrow it down. But yeah… it’s like, all right, if I do this, I know I’m going to kind of be f*cked, but it’s going to get people to be like, ‘Holy s*it, like I can’t believe he did that,’ and they’re going to watch, you know?”
WhileJersey Shore: Family Vacationcame to an end this year, there were rumblings of a possible newJersey Shorereboot with a new cast being filmed.
In August, Deuxmoi revealed a submission about this.
“Jersey Shore reboot for Netflix is currently filming – they are staying in a house in Manasquan, NJ,” the post stated. “Originally, the show was described as a group of friends from NJ figuring out life as they grow up as 2 of the friends are getting married this summer. Since the original Jersey Shore is cancelled because MTV is over, SallyAnn – the creator of both shows – described it as that to not get backlash from the original cast.”
The post continued, “However, the show has now evolved to some friends from that group as well as other cast members. Here’s a list of the cast, there may be some more additions. Jake Weber (Mr. New Jersey), Melissa Schmit, Erika Mendez, Ray Minecci (Frank Catania’s nephew), Antonella De Paola, Andrew Scarillo, Vincent Sciarratta, Courtney Dondero. Ray and Courtney were actually cast in the Jersey Shore reboot that was supposed to film in 2022, but that show was never filmed due to permit issues.”
To date, no official reboot with a new cast has been confirmed.
