Angelina Pivarnick recently talked about a controversial direct message she sent to married New York Jets football player Nick Bawden.
During an episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Pivarnick, who is 37 years old, shared that she decided to send DMs to some of the Jets players while attending a game. She mentioned that all the players were great in their responses, but she was unaware that one of them, Nick Bawden, was married.
After Pivarnick messaged Bawden with the words "see u soon," his wife, Alexis Bawden, called out the reality star on social media. In a TikTok video in September 2023, Alexis, 27, expressed her thoughts. She mentioned that it was strange for a fan to message a married woman's husband saying they will see him soon, especially after seeing his wife nearby. She referred to the person as a "weirdo."
Alexis’ TikTok video led to Pivarnick accusing Nick’s wife of being "so insecure." In her latest Jersey Shore confessional interview, she called the wife a clown and said, "Whatever the f—k her name is. Her shower curtain means more to me."
Alexis has not made any public statements about Pivarnick’s recent comments. However, on March 21, she seemed to address the ongoing controversy on TikTok. She posted a video of herself getting ready to watch the newest episode of Jersey Shore, complete with wine and popcorn.

On game days, you can usually spot Alexis at NFL stadiums, cheering on her husband and the New York Jets.
In December 2023, she took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the blessings of the past year. After sharing a pregame prayer with her husband on the field, she thanked God for answering prayers, giving them purpose and strength, and always having a plan. They couldn't be more grateful.
The drama around Pivarnick's DM might just be getting started. In a recent midseason trailer for Jersey Shore, MTV caught co-star Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola teaming up with Alexis to film a fun TikTok together.
In the video, the two confirmed that they are on good terms by quoting a well-known line from the show.
“Angela, I’M friends with her!!!” Alexis captioned the video that was filmed at a Jets game.

According to previews of upcoming episodes, Pivarnick was not a fan of the clip.
"Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino told his wife Lauren Sorrentino that Angelina is going to be upset because of a TikTok. Angelina's rival, Sammi, made a TikTok with Angelina's enemy."
You can catch Jersey Shore: Family Vacation on MTV on Thursdays at 8 p.m.
Editor's P/S:
The drama surrounding Angelina Pivarnick's inappropriate direct message to married New York Jets player Nick Bawden has taken an intriguing turn. Pivarnick's dismissive comments about Bawden's wife, Alexis, have further fueled the controversy, while Alexis's recent TikTok video suggests a possible alliance with Pivarnick's nemesis, Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola.
This situation highlights the complexities of social media and the potential for misunderstandings and conflict. Pivarnick's actions, while perhaps unintentional, were clearly inappropriate and disrespectful to Alexis. Her subsequent comments only escalated the situation, casting her in a negative light. Meanwhile, Alexis's dignified response and her apparent alliance with Giancola have garnered sympathy and support. It remains to be seen how this drama will unfold, but it is a cautionary tale about the importance of being mindful of one's actions and words, especially in the digital age.
