Jersey Shore’s Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola was seeing red when she stormed off the show days ago – but now she’s seeing green (as in money) and has returned to MTV’s mega hit, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Sammi stormed off the show last week when the cast watched all the shows from the second season and Sammi realized that Ronnie was cheating on her and then crawling into bed with her. RadarOnline.com was first to report the news and Sammi was upset not only at Ronnie but also at her co-stars because they kept her in the dark.
“She couldn't believe Ronnie did this and the girls hadn't really told her,” a source close to the situation told us.
But after several days away from production, Sammi came back, RadarOnline.com has learned.
“It’s simple,” said the source. “She wants the money. She can’t walk away from all that money.”
Sammi and the rest of the cast received substantial raises for Seasons Two and Three as Jersey Shore has exploded into a ratings winner for MTV.
Season Two features the cast in Miami and those are the episodes Sammi was watching when she walked out. She saw episodes that have not yet aired.
The show shot Season Three in New Jersey and is weeks away from finishing that production.
“Sammi walked out and there was very little time left to shoot,” the source said. “Obviously the show wants her back and when she realized how much money she stood to lose, she got over her anger toward Ronnie pretty fast!”
