Jersey Shore star Snooki made her first public appearance in NYC on Tuesday since revealing her stage one cervical cancer diagnosis.
The 38-year-old TV personality – who is promoting the upcoming final season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation – was seen stopping by ABC Studios in the bustling city alongside other cast members.
Back in February, the reality star – whose real name is Nicole Polizzi – gave the emotional health update to fans in a TikTok video but positively added that it was ‘caught early’ and ‘curable.’
Polizzi put on a stylish display wearing a black tank top as well as a black leather miniskirt.
She additionally slipped into a pair of black tights and layered the outfit with a leather jacket that contained a cream-colored, fuzzy trim.
The mom-of-three also opted for black-heeled boots and easily carried a Yves Saint Laurent purse over her shoulder.

The star later took to her Instagram stories to give a closer look at her outfit for the lighthearted evening.
She had the chance to venture backstage to pose for snaps with some of the production’s cast members such as Ariana Grande’s brother Frankie Grande.
Two months earlier in February, Polizzi revealed that she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in a TikTok clip after undergoing a cone biopsy.
‘It came back stage 1 cervical cancer called adenocarcinoma,’ she said. ‘Obviously not the news I’ve been hoping for, but also not the worst news just because they caught it so early. Thank freaking God!’
And she urged fans to get pap smears.
‘I’m 38 years old and I’ve been struggling with abnormal pap smears for three or four years now, and now look at me,’ she said.

‘Instead of putting it off because I didn’t want to go, because I was hurt and scared, I just went and did it. And it was there, cancer is in there. But it’s stage 1 and it’s curable.’
Polizzi added, ‘So get your appointments done, b****es! I’m telling you! Once you go to stage 2, then you have to do chemo… nobody wants to do that! It’s scary. So get your appointments done.’
The star then shared that she had started to see an oncologist.
‘After that, I’m gonna probably get the hysterectomy,’ Polizzi expressed.
‘Obviously, I think the smart choice here is the hysterectomy. I’ll still keep my ovaries, which is a good sign. But yeah, gotta get the cervix and uterus out. It all depends on the PET scan.
‘So 2026 is not panning out how I wanted it to,’ she said. ‘But also, it could be worse.’
In January, Polizzi said she had an abnormal pap smear results and precancerous cells for the past four years.
‘I’ve had issues with getting abnormal results and precancerous cells on your cervix and everything. It’s very stressful you guys,’ Polizzi told viewers while heaving a huge sigh.

She also said that she recently underwent a colposcopy and biopsy at her doctor’s urging.
The star then shared the results of the colposcopy: ‘Doctor calls me and he’s like, “Not looking great.” He found cancerous cells on the top of my cervix.’
Polizzi admitted to her fans, ‘I’m terrified. It’s scary, but we have to get it done because cervical cancer is nothing to joke about.’
Polizzi shares sons Lorenzo, 13, and Angelo, six, and daughter Giovanna, 11, with husband Jionni LaValle, 38.
She admitted that in the past she ‘was not great’ with staying on top of doctor appointments and was making this video to raise awareness so others didn’t make the same mistake.
Polizzi urged her followers: ‘Make sure you’re fine and prevent all the bad things that could happen, like cervical cancer.
‘It’s not easy being a woman and going through these uncomfortable appointments and situations,’ she said, but added that she’s ‘going to be fine’ and has her family and friends to lean on.
The mom-of-three got a ton of support from her former Jersey Shore clan.
‘I’ve had issues with getting abnormal results and precancerous cells on your cervix and everything. It’s very stressful you guys,’ Polizzi told viewers while heaving a huge sigh; seen in 2024 in NYC
