In 2015, the online cheating site Ashley Madison was hacked and more than 30 million names and email addresses were leaked — including Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s husband, Jionni LaValle. The “Jersey Shore” star was quick to do damage control, posting on Instagram, “This morning when I got a call from my publicist that a story was going to be printed on my husband ‘allegedly’ signing up on Ashley Madison, I laughed- and said lets not even comment and give the story any juice, because it couldn’t be any further from the truth.” Snooki went on to defend LaValle, calling him a “stand up guy” and stated, “Honestly, if he wanted to cheat- he would go out and do it. Not sign up on a website and pay for it. Jionni is a good guy and doesn’t need his name being tarnished.”
Polizzi then went on her podcast, “Naturally Nicole,” to further dispel cheating allegations. “I’m lucky if he knows how to even use a computer, yet go on Ashley Madison to cheat on me. It’s so stupid, and we honestly think, like, someone is trying to f**k with us because this isn’t the first story that Jionni’s been cheating on me. But all these stories never have evidence,” she declared (via Entertainment Tonight). Yet, despite her fervent defense of her husband, it seems that things were different away from the public eye.
