Reality Check: Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Gets Real

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi opens up about her wild ride from pint-sized party queen of MTV’s Jersey Shore to powerhouse mom, author, and entrepreneur. She shares how a tanning-bed-filled Facebook ad led her to reality TV fame, what it was like to party hard (and get arrested) under the world’s spotlight, and how she managed to laugh off the haters while becoming a global pop culture icon.

Nicole talks candidly about her adoption story, the wake-up call of motherhood, building her fashion empire, The Snooki Shop, and how she’s still filming a hit reality TV show while raising three kids. Through all the ups and downs, she’s never lost her humor, hustle, or heart.
