FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi said Friday she has cervical cancer.

The former “Jersey Shore” star said in a video posted to TikTok that a biopsy had revealed stage one cancer.

“It’s obviously not the news I was expecting,” she said, sitting in her car between medical appointments. “But it’s not the worst news either, simply because they realized it so early, thank God.”

She urged her followers to get Pap smears and said she will likely have a hysterectomy after her initial treatment.

“So 2026 is not turning out the way I wanted,” he said.
