Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Claims ‘Jersey Shore’ Producers Told Police To Arrest Her In Infamous “Where’s The Beach” Scene

Nicole “Snooki’ Polizzi is revisiting her infamous “Where’s the beach” scene from Jersey Shore and claims producers asked police to arrest her.

In a recent interview, Polizzi recalled the time on the MTV reality series when she drunkenly ran around the Seaside Heights boardwalk in New Jersey looking for the beach and got arrested. “Those cops weren’t on shift for the town,” Polizzi said on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast. “They were on shift from production to make sure they are protecting us from crazy people.

So I don’t even think it’s legal because they weren’t working for the town, but I watched the video back and one of the producers said, ‘Just arrest her.'” Jersey Shore cameras captured Polizzi’s arrest in 2010, and two months later, the charges were dropped. “I woke up that day, and I was drinking nonstop,” Polizzi recalled about the day. “So you know when you wake up and you feel like the shakes are coming?

You’re like, ‘I’m going to s–t, I’m going to throw up, but I have to be on camera and I have to go [to] this shift,’ so I woke up still in my party dress, with my blanket on, walking to my shift.” She continued, “I was like ‘I can’t do this.’ So that’s when I ran.
