Angelina Pivarnick has talked openly about not wanting children 

In November 2020, Pivarnick admitted she wasn’t ready to have children yet. During an interview with In Touch Weekly, Pivarnick said she was enjoying her marriage. 

“Right now, I’m not even thinking about kids,” Pivarnick told the outlet. “I’m kind of living my life.” The 34-year-old reality star said she doesn’t feel pressured to have kids just yet. 

“I feel like I’m still young,” she added. “I don’t know, I’m just enjoying married life and trying to deal with this COVID thing. Taking it day by day.”

The following month, Pivarnick confused fans on social media with a faux pregnancy post.

On New Year’s Eve, Pivarnick shared a photo of a baby sonogram to her Instagram with the caption: “So excited to finally share our news! #LinkInBio.”

The link took fans to an article highlighting Pivarnick’s Jersey Shore journey, including her falling out with the roommates and her marriage to Chris Larangeira. The article did not contain a pregnancy announcement. Angry fans took to Reddit to express their outrage.

This time, fans were especially disgusted by Pivarnick’s actions because she faked a pregnancy. 

“On my Instagram feed, the post before this is a heartfelt post about someone I follow having three miscarriages this year,” a Jersey Shore fan said on Reddit. “Posting this as clickbait is absolutely disgusting and insensitive.”

“And some people on here wonder why Angelina is so disliked,” another fan said

“I refuse to click on it ’cause I heard they get money every time so what did it say when you click it??” another fan added. Most fans agreed, saying they refuse to click on those types of links shared by the Jersey Shore cast.  

The original post has been taken down, but that hasn’t stopped fans from commenting on other posts of Pivarnick’s. As of this morning, Pivarnick has disabled comments on her posts and removed any Instagram posts containing criticism for her fake announcement.
