Let the situation with the cast from the jersey shore be a lesson in money and fame

Also take in mind these kids came from middle class families one of them wasn't even Italian. Another was adopted and is 100% hispanic. Becoming a millionaire in your early twenties it's like hitting the lottery could be a blessing in disguise or your worst enemy.

What lessons are you talking about? Most of them ended up doing pretty good in life an most turned out better than when they first got on the show.

Also the show had nothing to do with "being Italian". It was a buncha people who liked visiting the Jersey Shore to party, invited to do that while living in a house together. They just happened to be a bunch of Italians because its Jersey.. and Jersey has a HUGE Italian population.

You are now in an Eli77 thread

I have zero context what happened to them? It was a reality tv show of some sort?

The situation had millions and went broke. Snooki was an adopted alcoholic . And one of them has so much lip injection she looks like a cartoon.

and what does that organization have to do with the show besides absolutely nothing?

Yes the show showcases a few Italians and a Prican guy and a Peruvian chick partying at the Jersey Shore but its more about lifestyles of young adults from Jersey living together.

Regardless idk how that show is a good example of what money and fame can do to people since most of them turned out jus fine lol. Infact some even sobered up and became straight edge and settled down with families

Mike "The Situation" went from being a partying player type to a sober Christian who doesnt drink or do drugs.. still is on the show though. Got married and had a kid with his college sweetheart.

Pauly D went on to have a successful DJing career and is booked year round with big contracts in Vegas and Miami.

Vinny was never that much of a Guido and the only one who didnt tan or hit the gym as much. He ended up becoming more mature and developing a better physique and also is a published author that talks about what its like being an introvert while being on a hit reality show.

Snooki went from being a wild reckless party animal to settling down in a successful marriag and becoming a mom and housewife

Sammi left after Season 4 and went on to build a successful clothing brand/company and some other businesses.

The only one who had any detriment was Ronny but he always had issues. The show did not really accelerate any of that. What it did do is afford him a nice house and money.
He went thru a pretty toxic relationship but thru that process became sober and gained full custody of his daughter.

Jwow went thru a divorce but thats pretty normal for anyone. She has multiple successful businesses.

..

So 1 person out the whole cast was slightly a trainwreck and this is your example of what fame and money does to people? He still has all his money and is doing much better now too.

You coulda probably named 1000 other examples that made more sense. The Jersey shore is a great example of how average people can become successful through social influence/ becoming reality stars if anything.

Tbf a lot of Italians come from stronger family backgrounds, which obv helps keep you grounded
