Deena Cortes is responding to all the backlash surrounding the speech she, JWoww and Snooki gave at cast member, Angelina Pivarnick’s wedding.

In true Jersey Shore fashion, there was drama at Pivarnick’s nuptials to Chris Larangeira this week. Cortes, as well as Jennifer “JWoww” Farley and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, served as bridesmaids at the wedding. It was shocking that JWoww and Snooki were in the bridal party considering the drama surrounding JWoww’s much younger boyfriend, Zack Carpinello.

The ladies appeared to have put all their differences aside to celebrate Pivarnick’s special day. Well, that all changed when Cortese, Snooki, and JWoww gave what is being called a “mean girls” speech that allegedly sent the bride out of the room crying.

Now Cortese is setting the record straight and defending the speech that reportedly got them booed at the reception.

“Listen I understand your all upset about our speech but we also included nice things in it as well,” Deena wrote in a now-deleted private Instagram post published on Friday. “We thought since Angelina always says ‘I never take myself seriously’ she would truly laugh at the stuff we said .. clearly we were wrong .. we’re friggen human .. people make mistakes,” she began her message.

The new mom went on to blast the haters for threatening her 10-month old son because they are pissed at what Cortese, Snooki, and JWoww did.

“But wishing bad on my son .. how are you any better?” she continued. “Our speech was not meant to be malicious .. we actually did a lot while filming with Angelina for her wedding .. I’m not a mean person and our intentions were never negative … yes we had a ‘roast’ part which yes I understand no one agrees with but Chris’ one brother brought up his period s–t tattoo .. so why is us making jokes during a speech a problem .. we truly thought she was going to laugh and right after we went into how lucky we are to have her in our lives and she’s the sister we needed in the house,” Cortese ended her now-deleted Instagram post.

The MTV cameras were reportedly rolling at the wedding, which means the speech just might air on the next season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

Deena Cortes is defending the speech she, JWoww and Snooki gave at Pivarnick’s wedding. Fans are not all accepting of her words though. The post added even more fuel to the fire, prompting Cortes to delete it.

Angelina Pivarnick is currently not speaking to her female Jersey Shore castmates after they trashed her during a speech on her wedding day. Audio has leaked from the cringe-worthy moments and new details have become available.

A source exclusively told Champion Daily what exactly went down during the reality star’s nuptials. Apparently, Deena Cortese, Jenni Farley, and Nicole Polizzi were not even scheduled to speak.

However, once they did — everything went awry. In audio released from the reception ceremony, Snooki and co. can be heard calling Pivarnick the ‘fly on her s***,’ ‘trash to their bags,’ and ‘dump to their islands.’

Reportedly, the crowd laughed at first but started booing after the women went too far. Angelina tried to laugh it off while her new husband Chris Larangeira was clearly not amused.

The insider claimed: ‘This was a really awful thing to do to someone on their wedding day and you could tell the men from the Jersey Shore cast seemed visibly uncomfortable with what was going down. Not only was Angelina upset and offended, but all of her husband’s family and friends were there and this was a disgusting thing to do in front of them as well, as they’re attacking and offending the person he just married.’

They went on to say that Angelina went missing for nearly an hour and when she came back attendees noticed that she had been crying.

The three friends allegedly kept saying that it was a joke.

Deena was forced to speak out after getting slammed on social media for the incident. She claims that in the midst of the insults, they also expressed how happy they were for her.

The MTV personality stated in an Instagram post-and-delete: ‘Listen I understand your [sic] all upset about our speech but we also included nice things in it as well .. we thought since Angelina always says ‘I never take myself seriously’ she would truly laugh at the stuff we said. Clearly we were wrong .. we’re friggen human ..people make mistakes .. But wishing bad on my son .. how are you any better. Our speech was not meant to be malicious .. we actually did a lot while filming with Angelina for her wedding.’

She added that she was going to stay quiet until followers started trashing her infant son.

According to a report from PageSix.com, Damon Dash just got out of jail and he celebrated his exit from the institution while at a party on the Lower East Side. This past Wednesday, Damon was arrested by authorities for failing to make child support payments, however, not long after, he hosted a party at the Canary Club.

The star introduced a new band there called “Billy Pablo The Third,” and stated they were the “Black Guns.” Damon stated before the audience that he brought his entire crew up from Los Angeles and hadn’t been in that area for six years.

Reportedly, Dash and his band performed from 9:30 pm until around 1:00 am, and the outlet stated that he was drinking vodka sodas the entire night. As it was previously reported, the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella records was accused of owing nearly half-a-million dollars to two different women.

The business mogul filed legal documents this past week stating he didn’t have any money. Joseph Fucito, the NYC Sheriff, revealed they had been trying to arrest him since 2015, four years ago. Outside of the court, Dash stated he didn’t have any money problems, and he had already paid the amount he owed.

“No more warrants, everything is clear,” the Roc-A-Fella co-founder added. Reported by TMZ back in the final week of September, the outlet stated that Damon Dash didn’t want to pay any more money to his ex-wife, Rachel Roy.

Damon reportedly tried to have the judge toss out his child support obligations. Mr. Dash claimed he no longer wanted to pay for his 19-year-old child girl with Rachel, Ava. Initially, Dash agreed to pay $6,000 per month for both children, however, the obligation supposedly didn’t stop at 18-years-old.

TMZ reports that Dash didn’t have the money to support the payments, and in 2018, he only made $56,000. Additionally, Damon claims his ex-wife makes around $500,000 per year and lives a very luxurious lifestyle all over the world, including trips to India, Greece, and Europe. According to Dash, via TMZ, he pays around $3,666 per month for their 11-year-old’s private education.
