Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has revealed she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer.
The reality star, best known for Jersey Shore Family Vacation, shared the news in a candid TikTok video, telling followers that doctors detected the cancer at an early stage. She explained that she is currently undergoing further testing, including a PET scan, to determine whether the cancer has spread.
Polizzi said surgery is likely the next step. She described the diagnosis as overwhelming but urged women not to skip routine health checks. “Go to your appointments,” she told fans, stressing that early detection made a difference in her case.
Support from her castmates followed quickly. Sammi Giancola publicly shared messages of encouragement, while fans flooded social media with support and personal stories about their own screening experiences.
Now 38, Polizzi is a mother of three and has often spoken about balancing family life with business ventures and television work. In her video, she acknowledged the fear that comes with a cancer diagnosis but said she plans to face treatment head-on.
The announcement has sparked renewed discussion online about cervical cancer screening, HPV testing, and the importance of regular check-ups.
