Angelina Pivarnick was shocked to learn that her biological father was alive and living in New Jersey on Thursday night’s Jersey Shore: Family Vacation on MTV.
‘I always felt that I didn’t belong in my family,’ Angelina, 37, said crying.
‘I was right. I just f***ing knew it. My intuition was right. That’s why everything happened to me.’
Angelina took a DNA test several months earlier after her mother made a comment to her that her father wasn’t really her father.
But it wasn’t until Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino, 41, hired a genealogical investigator that she was able to get definitive information on her biological father.
After the news was revealed, Angelina wondered what her her biological father was like and hoped it would give her some clarity in her life.
Sad turn: Angelina Pivarnick was shocked to learn that her biological father was alive and living in New Jersey on Thursday night’s Jersey Shore: Family Vacation on MTV
‘I want to know so many things,’ Angelina said. ‘Who is he? What did he do for a living?’ Does he look like me? Does he act like me?’
Angelina wondered how her life would have been different if he had been in it.
‘Holy f***,’Angelina said. ‘I have a dad.’
The information about Angelina’s father came out on the last day of the family fun trip to Orlando when Mike got an urgent text from Pamela Slaton, the investigative genealogist he hired, who said she had information on the identity of Angelina’s real father. Mike called Pamela and put her on speaker phone.
‘Yes, I’ve got news,’ Pamela said. ‘I have been able to locate Angelina’s father.’
‘Are you f***ing kidding me,’ Angelina said. ‘I’m in shock.’
In a confessional, Angelina said this was all she wanted for a long time.
Hard on her: ‘I always felt that I didn’t belong in my family,’ Angelina, 37, said crying. ‘I was right. I just f***ing knew it. My intuition was right. That’s why everything happened to me’

‘Can you tell me more, is he alive?’ Angelina asked.
‘Yes, your birth father is living,’ Pamela said.
‘That’s amazing, that was a big fear for me,’ Angelina said in a confessional.
Pamela then said her father lived in New Jersey and the group was all shocked and excited. Pamela said she wanted to sit down with her and go over everything. She also said she found some other people she wanted to tell Angelina about.
‘I found your grandmother, who is still living,’ Pamela said. ‘An aunt. Who is still living? And, Angelina, you have a half sister.’
‘A half sister?’ Angelina said. ‘How old is my sister?’
Pamela said she thought the sister was about 26 years old.
‘Is she single?’ Vinny Guadagnino, 36, said.
Angelina asked if her father wanted to meet her. Pamela said she didn’t know. Pamela said she wanted to meet with her to see how Angelina wanted to move forward.
‘I’m in shock,’ Angelina said.
Angelina said she only found out a few months ago when her mother said to her that her father may not be her father. She said she told her mother she was going to do a DNA test and after she did she learned the man she thought was her biological father wasn’t .
‘I had a feeling my whole life,’ Angelina said. ‘It all made sense. He knew I wasn’t his kid.’
Angelina hoped he wanted to meet her.
‘This is such a crazy emotional thing for Angelina, ‘ Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, 35, said. ‘I just want her to know, girl I’m here for you.’
Mike pulled Angelina aside and said this puts everything in perspective. Angelina agreed.
He helped: But it wasn’t until Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino, 41, hired a genealogical investigator that she was able to get definitive information on her biological father
‘I’m so thankful for everyone helping me find my dad,’ Angelina said.
Angelina hugged Mike. Angelina called Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley, 37, outside and hugged her.
‘I’m very, very happy for you,’ Jenni.
Angelina told Jenni she was sorry. Jenni told her she hoped it all went the way she wanted it to happen.
Mike brought out his crime investigative board about who Angela’s father was.
‘It’s so good I’m going to flip the table,’ Paul ‘DJ Pauly D’ DelVecchio , 43, said.
Pauly D. flipped the cocktail table over.
‘Good job Pauly,’ Snooki said.
The episode titled Just Flip the Table opened on the last night of the group’s family fun vacation. Mike encouraged Angelina to have a ‘ceasefire’ with Jenni. The group came back from the club and taped a confessional.

Back at the hotel, Mike told his wife Lauren, 36, about his conversation with Angelina at the club.
‘I think it’s pretty simple, they never liked each other, they are never going to like each other,’ Lauren said. ‘If I were you, I would not engage because there’s no positive outcome.’
Angelina, Snooki and Deena Cortese, 36, stayed till 3 a.m. They gave Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola, 36, a failing grade for trying to be a Dirty Stay Out.
‘She failed,’ Snooki said.
They taped the failing ‘F +’ note to Sammi’s door and she saw it the next morning and told Vinny G. she failed her initiation.
‘Good that means you are a normal person,’ Vinny G.
‘You’re a Jenny,’ Snooki told her.
Angelina said if Mike had broken the ‘ceasefire’ and spoken to Jenni that she was going to go. ‘If I find out that Mike has crossed me with that whole ceasefire sh**, I’m going in,’ Angelina said. ‘I think he did it. I think he told Jenny what I spoke to him about’

Sammi said she thought she was a dirty stay out because she stayed out late and had fun.
‘No, we need to do a checklist of our criteria,’ Snooki said.
‘The next vacation we should find some lady for Vincent,’ Mike said.
‘I like natural-looking women, like all natural, not like,’ Vinny G. said looking at Angelina.
‘None of us are natural, you also had a nose job, d***,’ Angelina said.
‘No, I never did,’ Vinny G. said.
‘Out of all our trips this was definitely an emotional trip, seeing Ron,’ Snooki said in a confessional. ‘Officially having Sam back. Angelina finding her dad. I cried a lot this trip, but not in a bad way’
‘I would get my money back if that was a nose job,’ Jenni said.
‘I kind of want to get a nose job,’ Vinny G. Said.
Deena gave everyone their tie dye shirt for their family photo and they all screamed ‘Margaritaville!’
‘For once we are finally leaving the vacation a happy family,’ Deena said.
‘Out of all our trips this was definitely an emotional trip, seeing Ron,’ Snooki said in a confessional. ‘ Officially having Sam back. Angelina finding her dad. I cried a lot this trip, but not in a bad way.’
Snooki told Sammi that Angelina’s news brought up a lot of emotions in her.
‘Just not knowing who your parents are,’ Snooki said. ‘I feel like I don’t talk about being adopted a lot.’
Snooki said in a confessional that she was born in Santiago, Chile but knew nothing about her birth family.
Jersey Shore:Family Vacation will return next Thursday on MTV
‘I would just like to see what my life was if I wasn’t adopted,’ Snooki said.
‘Once she figures this out maybe she can help you to go through it,’ Sammi said.
Snooki said she didn’t know if wanted to do what Angelina had done but wanted to see the process of what happened to her friend. Snooki said she thought Angelina was so tough and defensive because her father treated her differently than her other sisters.
Angelina was excited she would finally be able to get some answers.
The group gathered for a family photo.
‘It was an amazing vacation,’ Mike said.
