Snooki & Jionni LaValle: Marriage Troubles Confirmed Ahead of Jersey Shore Reunion
Currently, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is in Miami, filming Jersey Shore: Family Vacation with her famous frenemies.
We imagine she’s enjoying the break from reality almost as much as Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino (who’s currently facing 15 years in prison for tax evasion), as Snooki has some serious issues to face when she gets back home.
For several weeks now, reports that Snooki and Jionni LaValle are headed for divorce have been circulating non-stop on social media.
Insiders claim that Snooki and Jionni are living separate lives and have spent much of the past year simply going through the motions of a happy marriage.
“Snooki and her husband have been having problems in their marriage,” an insider tells Life & Style.
The source adds that Snooki “thinks that Jionni is very controlling and that he doesn’t want her to work. He wants a housewife, not a working mom.”
Snooki hasn’t spoken publicly about her alleged marital issues, but Jionni recently let loose in an Instagram tirade that left fans feeling perplexed.
Apparently, LaValle wrote the post while his wife was packing for Miami.
Jionni admitted that he was upset with his wife’s decision to leave home for an extended period of time, but he also–somewhat confusingly–claimed that all is well in their marriage.
“Hey guys, I’m going to visit this subject one time and one time only so……. My wife is filming a scene packing up and leaving for her new show and I AM CHOOSING TO NOT be on TV because I simply DO NOT like it,” LaValle wrote.
“You will not see me on her reality show. Being a reality star was never something I wanted to be when I grew up,” he added.
“We ARE not divorced. For the HATERS I hope this message finds you and confuses you even more about life and for the FANS of my wife and her show… I got your back!!!”
One insider says the real cause of Jionni’s anger is the fact that Snooki made the decision that he should stay home with the kids while she gets paid to party with her friends.
“She sees Jersey Shore as her show, and he came in after it began She doesn’t need or want him with her,” says the source.
The fact that Snooki has hooked up with Vinny Guadagnino and also has a complicated history with Sorrentino probably isn’t helping Jionni to relax.
No word yet on when Family Vacation will air.
But you can bet Jionni will be watching intently.

Adam Lind: Legal Troubles Continue as Stasia Huber Is Granted Restraining Order
Even when he’s already behind bars, Adam Lind manages to find new and creative ways to get in trouble with the law.
Earlier this week, Lind was arrested for allegedly violating an order of protection attained by an ex-girlfriend.
While Lind was being held without bail in a South Dakota jail, a restraining order against him was granted to a different ex, Stasia Huber.
News of Lind’s latest legal trouble comes courtesy of Radar Online.
The site reports that Lind will be forbidden to make any sort of contact with Huber for a period of five years.
“The judge granted the protection order for Stasia against Adam,” the Clerk of Court for Minnehaha County Circuit Court tells Radar Online.
“It is for five years.”
Because he was behind bars at the time, Lind did not attend the hearing.
“Because he wasn’t there it was granted,” says one insider.
“She still wanted to go through with it.”
In court documents filed last month, Huber provided a shocking account of Lind’s violent and abusive behavior.
“While under the influence of drugs, alcohol and steroids, he fractured my forearm, locked me in the house saying I couldn’t leave, smashed my phone and once he realized what he had done, he broke down crying and took me to the ER,” she wrote.
“We broke up for a while after that,” Huber added, noting that shortly thereafter, she and Lind separated for good.
This is just the latest in a long line of legal troubles for the troubled Teen Mom 2 star.
Back in June, Lind tested positive for methamphetamines just prior to a scheduled visit with his youngest daughter.
Lind has refused to check into rehab, despite frequent pleas from his loved ones and legal counsel.
Though she has yet to challenge his visitation rights, Lind’s ex Chelsea Houska has taken steps to ensure that he will not be permitted to drive with their daughter in the car.
It’s unclear what will happen to Adam from here, but it looks as though a stint behind bars may be in his near future.
Watch Teen Mom 2 online to be reminded of just how egregious Lind’s behavior has been over the years.

Chip and Joanna Gaines FINALLY Address Rumors of Marital Troubles!
Fixer Upper is extremely popular, and so are its stars — Chip and Joanna Gaines. Which is why it"s so surprising that Fixer Upper is ending while it"s still going so strong.
Are we, as a society, so accustomed to shows jumping the shark that we can"t conceive of a show deliberately ending on a high note? Or is there something going on behind the scenes? Like, say, relationship trouble between Chip and Joanna?
Well, in the video below, the Fixer Upper couple is finally giving in to demands for answers.
As you"ll see in the video, Joanna and Chip Gaines finally cave and spoke to E! about the questions and rumors about their relationship and how it may have influenced their decision to end their show while it"s going strong.
And they"re denying everything, basically.
Chip expressed surprise, as he"d imagined that the news that the two of them were done with Fixer Upper would inspire fans to wonder what they were doing next.
That is … adorably naive.
Humans like puzzles and we like believable narratives and reasons that we can understand. "We quit our successful show because it was time" doesn"t strike most people as plausible.
Chip continues:
"It"s just the rumor mill — I think — surprised us a little bit."
You know … he might be telling the truth. Maybe they never expected the public to, right or wrong, guess that they were having issues.
But he says that he understands that they"re famous and that all of this goes with the territory.
"When you put yourself out in the public light like this, people are going to speculate like this and we have had our fair share of that, but Jo and I are just as happy as we have ever been."
There has to be something going on, right?
Joanna speaks up and acknowledges that fans have good reason to ask the questions that they"ve been asking, however:
"I think it seems weird to kind of leave on a high note. I think for people, there has got to be a negative reason to that. I think that is not always how life has to be."
Maybe, but that"s how life usually is.
Shows either stay good over long stretches, get better over time, get worse over time, or were terrible to start with. Otherwise, there"s something else going on.
"I think for us we felt that season five was just the perfect end to this beautiful chapter, but really the why is time, you know?"
So, basically, they just felt like not doing it anymore. That"s what she"s claiming.
"Unfortunately, I don"t think if they came back and offered a billion dollars that we would step back at this point."
Obviously, she"s relying upon the absurdity of that hypothetical scenario. Plenty of people would commit murder for a billion dollars.
"We are pretty headstrong and when we feel like it is the right decision for our relationship, for our family, for our business, it would take an act of congress to knock us off that position."
That"s a weird way of phrasing that, but whatever.
You know, depending upon rights ownership issues to which we aren"t privy, the network could always try to make it work under the same name.
A show called Fixer Uppers could be about, we dunno, interventions for people who take a lot of stimulants.
Or, with a tweak, Fixer Puppers could be about a veterinarian.
But it"s clear that the Gaines-es want us to be focusing on what they"re going to do next, professionally speaking.
That"s what we gather from Chip"s words, anyway. So … what exactly will they do next? We have no idea.

Kim Zolciak: Money Troubles Revealed on Instagram!
It would be a massive understatement to say that Kim Zolciak has been having a rough time lately.
Kim has suffered one PR crisis after another in recent months, and it doesn’t look as though her troubles will be letting up anytime soon.
Most of the drama has centered around Kim’s parenting skills (or lack thereof).
First, she was criticized for posting bikini photos while her son was in the hospital recovering from a nasty dog bite.
Shortly thereafter, critics claimed that Zolciak “pimped” her daughter, Brielle Biermann, on social media, offering sexual favors in exchange for a chance to meet John Legend.
Kim claimed she was joking, and she probably was, but still … not a good look.
Like we said, it’s been a rough few weeks for the reality star, and now it looks as though her finances are in as much a state of upheaval as her home life.
Rumors that Zolciak is broke have been circulating for quite some time now, but over the weekend, the 39-year-old seemed to basically confirm that she’s struggling with an unsexpected Instagram post:
That’s Kim’s boat.
She posted the above photo of it in hopes that one of her fans would take it off for her hands for the princely sum of $ 170,000.
“Serious inquiries only!!” Kim captioned the photo.
“FOR SALE KILLER DEAL. Boat and trailer $ 170k email elitesales07@gmail.com LINK IN MY BIO!”
The post might not be such a red flag on its own, but appearing as it does amidst rumors that Kim is in a full-blown financial panic, it seems to indicate that the problem is even worse than we initially thought.
Kim knew how such an advertisement would be perceived, and it seems she wouldn’t have posted it unless she was desperate.
Kim’s huaband, Kroy Biermann, was earning big bucks as an NFL player, but his career seems to have prematurely come to an end.
With six kids and a lavish lifestyle to support, it looks as though Kim is now struggling to make ends meet.
Zolciak recently returned to The Real Housewives of Atlanta after vowing she never would.
She later revealed that it was the promise of a paycheck that lured her back.
“Everything has a price,” Kim said in a recent interview.
“I’m just giving it to you straight. Given the right amount of money for anything? Yeah, count me in. I like to work. I have six children to support, so for sure!”
Unfortunately, it looks like the gig didn’t pay “keep your boat through the end of summer” cash.

Amy Duggar & Dillon King to Work Out Marriage Troubles on Couples Therapy?
Amy Duggar has always been known as “the rebellious Duggar,” but while she’s butted heads with her strict Uncle Jim Bob many times in the past, her latest business venture could be her biggest act of defiance to date.
Recently, several media outlets reported that Amy and husband Dillon King were filming scenes for an unspecified project in California.
Amy confirmed the news with an Instagram selfie, taken in SoCal and captioned, “#filming.”
Obviously, the Duggars film their TLC series in Arkansas, so the location raised a lot of eyebrows.
Clearly Amy and Dillon weren’t shooting scenes for Counting On, and even if the network gave them their own spinoff, it would probably shoot in Arkansas so that Amy’s more famous cousins could participate.
So what were the Kings doing in Los Angeles, and why did they have a camera crew with them?
Well, there’s reason to believe that Amy and Dillon decided to branch out on their own by filming a season of Couples Therapy for VH1.
Dillon posted the above photo earlier this week, along with a caption reading:
“Headed back home! LA was good to us but were ready to be back on AR soil @amyrachelleking #offset #home #goodtimes #safetravel”
Interestingly, Mob Wives star Renee Graziano commented on the pic wishing Amy and Dillon a safe flight.
So the Kings spent a full five weeks filming in LA, and they happen to make friends with another reality star.
You can see why fans think it’s no accident that their trip happened to coincide with the Couples Therapy filming schedule.
Of course, if you’ve seen Dr. Jenn Mann’s celebrity therapy-fest, you know it features some deeply troubled couples.
So does this mean the Kings are having trouble already?
Amy and Dillon just got married last year, and there haven’t been any reports of problems.
Of course, it’s worth noting that there have been rumors that Dillon is in massive debt, so he and Amy may have participated for purely financial reasons.
