Snooki Has the Perfect Response When Her Kids Ask About Her "Jersey Shore" Days

For three wonderfully chaotic years, "Jersey Shore" gave an inside look at the lives of some of the biggest reality TV stars in television history, including Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. While then-21-year-old Snooki had no qualms about broadcasting some of her messiest moments in front of a nationwide audience, much has changed in the 11 years since the MTV show's finale aired. Most notably, Snooki has become a mom to three children. During a recent appearance on "Live With Kelly and Mark," the mom of three revealed that keeping her past a secret from her kids has been nearly impossible thanks to a resurgence of "Jersey Shore" content across TikTok.

"All the kids are watching it now. And it's scary because my daughter's on TikTok," she told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, referring to her 8-year-old daughter, Giovanna Marie LaValle. "I try and advise what she's watching — make sure she's not watching anything bad. But she sees old episodes of me and she's like, 'Mom, what are you doing here?' and it's me drunk on the beach getting arrested." Snooki's typical response? "I'm just like, 'Uh . . .' I said, 'I'm acting,'" she joked.

In September, Snooki told E! News that her oldest son, 11-year-old Lorenzo Dominic LaValle, had discovered clips from "Jersey Shore" on TikTok. Usually, when her son asks about her behavior on the reality TV series, Snooki's typical response is something along the lines of, "Honey, I'm an actress and it's not real. It's like a movie." Still, this hasn't stopped her kids from trying to imitate her superstar behavior by going on Instagram Live and posting photos on social media. According to a TikTok, her children have even started calling her Snooki. "I'm like, 'No, it is not happening,'" she said. "To be able to try and parent as a reality star mom, just makes it ten times worse."

While some celebrities are eager to share their work with their children, they don't always receive the reaction they're anticipating, which is why others choose to keep their work under wraps. For Snooki, who was caught off guard by her daughter's knowledge of the show, it seems TikTok has made the decision for her. The "Jersey Shore" alum is also a mom to 4-year-old Angelo James LaValle, who she shares with her husband, Jionni LaValle.

With Lorenzo and Giovanna already on the "Jersey Shore" train, it only seems like a matter of time before the whole family is caught up on Snooki's "where's the beach?" moment and those anonymous letters. Ahead, watch Snooki relive the moment her daughter discovered her "Jersey Shore" persona.
