JWoww confronts man for fat-shaming pregnant friend: 'No one will ever disrespect my meatballs'

After countless fights on camera, Jenni “JWoww” Farley is officially trying to hold back … unless you mess with her meatballs.

The Jersey Shore Family Vacation cast member shared a clip on Instagram Tuesday night from an upcoming episode of the series, showing the mom of two standing up for Deena Cortese after a man allegedly called her fat. Farley is proud of how she acted, because she feels the confrontation sends the right message to her children. She explained that as a mom, she always tries to bite her tongue, especially while filming, “because one day my kids will see this.” But, sometimes, it can’t be avoided.

“[A]s a Mom to a daughter… I want her to know that she never has to shun when a man OR a woman disrespects her or her friends…” she wrote in the caption, “… and as a Mom to a son, always uplift and respect all females and protect their honor… because chivalry will always win…” Lastly, she confirms that she will always defend her friends, adding, “NO ONE WILL EVER DISRESPECT MY MEATBALLS.”

In the clip, Cortese claims that a man called her fat as she was walking out of the bar. She was pregnant when this was filmed. When Farley finds out, she goes back inside the restaurant to tell the man off.

Her social media followers are impressed. “Jwoww is friend loyalty goals,” one person commented on her Instagram post. “LOVE how fierce you are when it comes to the people you love!!” wrote another fan. “Your friends are lucky to have you on their side!” someone else stated. Another called her “amazing…as a person, parent, and friend.”

Only a few were concerned. “You have kids, get the knowledge and diss him with your intelligence, leave the physical s*** to the others. You react to these a**holes that don’t matter,” one follower wrote. “Be careful mama! Some people are f***ing nuts! They can pull out a weapon! Try not to confront strangers! Ignore,” someone else suggested.

Almost all agree that everyone needs a friend like JWoww.
