Angelina Pivarnick denied she was the dirty little hamster who assaulted and used an offensive slur towards a 3’6″ actress dressed as a teddy bear.
Page Six reported the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star’s lawyers claim this is a “clickbait” story as security footage will prove Angelina’s innocence.
The Winter Wonderland Speakeasy:
Angelina was part of a group that wrought havoc at a Christmas-themed nightclub, ruining a stage show for other guests and harassing performers. One of them even allegedly punched a 3′ 6″ actress dressed as a teddy bear.
All this went down the “Santa’s Secret” immersive attraction, which includes a bar and naughty, festively themed performances. Allegedly, Angelina and the crew arrived around 9 pm last week. Some members of the group appeared “hammered.” Police were called to the scene.
The altercation:
The show includes a “walk-through” where the Christmas characters interact with guests. That’s when Katrina Kemp, who identifies as a “person with dwarfism,” explained that Angelina’s group left her feeling “completely non-human.”
According to the actress, “They were calling me the ‘M’ slur [and] then threatening to fight me once I wanted to end the interaction.”
Katrina Kemp then claims they punched and squeezed her stomach, which forced her to come out of character. “I had to take my mask off and ruin the magic [of the show]. I said, ‘Don’t touch me!’ They started cursing me out and calling me rude and a bitch.”
Kemp claims to have recognized Pivarnick in the group, but was unable to say which member of the posse attacked because she was wearing her mascot head during the alleged incident.
“They were like zoo animals,” Katrina said. “No respect for any of the performers, people who have been on national tours, Broadway, burlesque, and drag legends.”
Kemp also claimed Angelina asked show-goers and staff, “Do you know who I am?”
Sources also told us the group danced on tables and interrupted a live band. The behavior was allegedly so unruly that event organizers had to call security about them, but the show’s producer, Brandon Voss of Voss Events, told us Pivarnick’s party refused to leave.
“We called NYPD to get [them] out. When she saw uniformed officers, they left.”
Angelina’s lawyers denied she was involved:
The Jersey Shore star “attended the event with friends and had a wonderful time, spending most of the evening engaging with fans and taking photos. At no point did she act inappropriately or touch anyone. This story is completely false and appears to be a clear attempt at creating a clickbait headline.”
“The allegations are baseless. While there were others at the venue whose behavior required police intervention, the police body cam footage and venue video footage will clearly show that Angelina was not involved in any misconduct. The facts will speak for themselves and will ultimately support legal action by Angelina once these allegations are proven false.”
