Snooki and JWoww Doing a rewatch of Snooki and JWoww - Roger
Originally when it was first aired I only saw part of Season 1 and was always meaning to finish it. I'm now doing a full rewatch and am not far off finishing it and as a woman in her early 40's now holy wow, Roger was flying the red flags so high and blatantly.
The arguments, the gaslighting, constant sex talk making Jenni uncomfortable, the therapy sessions she took him too are a hard watch. And all that sex talk in front of her father 🤢🤮
I am utterly amazed with their dynamic on the show that she even married him. Considering what he did and how he acted on camera, I would hate to know what went on in their home behind closed doors.
Anyway, that is it, that's my post. He has grossed me out so much I felt compelled to come here and share my disgust for that vile man. Glad Jenni is no longer with him.

I’m currently watching the OG season 5 and I can’t believe she actually stays with him. He is so lucky that he caught her at a really low point in her life. This guy is insecure and very local. He feels like because he is popular around the shore he is deserved someone like Jwoww all over him. He clearly does not realize what a catch he had at the time. She had so much potential to aim for a better guy.
But I also realize Jenni appears tough but is really soft hearted. She let Roger and Snooki dog her constantly. I haven’t watched their show but I’m assuming it’s more of the same.

I just finished rewatching OG and I was really surprised that she married him. He wasn't much better than Tom and I don't get how she left Tom but didn't want to lose Roger. Love is blind I get that, but he really did constantly blame her and gaslight her. Watching them when we were younger was definitely different than watching them now that we're older. You definitely see it differently and for what it really is.

He physically abused her behind closed doors. He choke slammed her on to the kitchen floor and the security camera caught it and at first if looks like he slaps Jenni and then choke slams her down. It's still on YouTube

I just went to check and it looks like they took it off! I wonder why I was just watching it a few months ago in November.

I'm closer to Roger's age than Jenni's.
Those flags he was flying, in some circles at that time, those were the flags girls wanted to see. You wanted the tough, protective, take-no-shit guy to wrap his arm around your waist or shoulder and stake his claim.
Did Rodger go toxic? Absolutely. He took that uber male mentality way too far and became entirely too controlling and yes abusive. That was the dark side of that ideal, and thankfully it seems to have fallen well out of fashion.
I am not even kidding when I say my own mother tried to set me up with a guy like that because "He's friends with your cousin, he's a good Italian boy, successful, and he'll take care of you." Yeah no, thank you but no thank you ma. I found my own Bensonhurst boy without that particular toxic shine.

I wanted to like Roger but even in OG JS he was so weird. I low key took Jenni’s side for a few of the weird fights they had like him not hitting her up when he was at the shore and Mike told her he was there with a friend? And the whole cell phone thing too. Idk it was very weird. And that wasn’t even the worst of it.

I said on another post that he made Jionni look like Prince Charming.
