EXCLUSIVE: Jersey Shore Resumes Filming After Tense Week
July 23 2010, Published 12:38 p.m. ET
Jersey Shore resumes filming Friday in Seaside Heights New Jersey, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned, as crews have been prepping over the past few weeks for the arrival of the Garden State hellraisers.
While filming could have started sooner, the cast's contract negotiations brought production to a halt, with the reality stars even staging a strike this past Sunday. Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino on Monday was the first to sign back on, and one-by-one, the rest of the cast followed suit.
This week the entire cast resumed filming the show -- except for Angelina Pivarnick, who walked off in Miami with only two episodes left to shoot, telling RadarOnline.com that high drama, hot tempers and poor working conditions were the reasons for her abrupt exit.
A new girl is slated to take her place in the show’s upcoming cycle. Another source told RadarOnline.com that the new addition is a really good friend of one of the cast members. “It is a good replacement for Angelina,” the source added.
