Summary
I love this convo with Snooki talking about everything from how she got cast on Jersey Shore, what was really happening behind the scenes, overnight fame, and surreal celebrity moments with Beyoncé and Leonardo DiCaprio.
We also get into life now: raising three kids, balancing marriage, filming Family Vacation, and running the Snooki Shop. Plus, she opens up about her recent stage one cervical cancer diagnosis, the surgery ahead, and why she chose to share it publicly. Funny, nostalgic, and real... this was such a fun one!
