'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation': Why did Sammi block Nicole on social media? Beef explained!

Following her drama on the infamous reality TV show, Sammi decided to take a step back from the spotlight and live a "normal life." While her former roommates continued their reality careers, Sammi tells Angelina that she didn't want to sign up for the show when it was rebooted. Instead, Sammi pursued her passion for clothes and opened up a beach boutique in Ocean City, N.J., called "Sweetheart Coast."

"I opened a beach boutique, something different than what anybody else had done and it's right on the boardwalk," Sam tells Angelina. "Nicole shortly after that decided to open up a beach boutique. I thought that was an insult to me."

Fans that follow Nicole's career know that the self-proclaimed "Meatball" opened up her own clothing store called Snooki Shop, which now has several locations in New Jersey and New York.

Why did Sammi unfollow the 'Jersey Shore' cast on social media?

Aside from having a bit of beef with Nicole, Sammi also tells Angelina that she hasn't spoken to Jenni "JWoww" Farley or Deena Cortese. In a previous interview, Jenni questioned why Sam talked and is supportive of Jersey Shore, but would not return to the show.

Sam tells Angelina that she and Deena were close post-filming, but claims Deena stopped returning her texts and would not invite her to things. Therefore, she tells Angelina, she unfollowed her on social media.

Overall, Sam claims that when she decided to not be part of the show, she didn't want to see everyone's posts about their time on Jersey Shore.

"When everybody signed back on I couldn't watch what they were doing," Sam tells Angelina. "I had to separate myself for my own good. So I got rid of them off Facebook and I think they got mad about that."

So, how will the castmates react to Sam returning to Jersey Shore: Family Vacation?
