Angelina Pivarnick is back in the spotlight!
The "Jersey Shore" has been keeping a low profile after she was arrested earlier this month with multiple criminal charges against her. However, she did not let the legal drama ruin her weekend fun, as she recently hosted a gig at a strip club.
Angelina Pivarnick is currently facing charges for an undisclosed incident, which her lawyer claims has been blown out of proportion.
Angelina Pivarnick Enjoys A Wild Night Despite Her Looming Criminal Case
On Saturday, the MTV reality TV star made her first public appearance after her arrest at Déjà Vu Gentlemen's Club in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She turned up to judge the venue's "Showgirl Of The Year" competition, flaunting her curves in a sizzling number.
For the night out, Pivarnick rocked a black lace top with faux leather leggings and topped it off with stiletto thigh-high boots. Pictures from the event captured her having a blast, impressing the crowd with her hosting skills while bonding with the contestants.
She posed for several pictures with contestants and strippers, crowned the evening's winner, whom she presented with a $10,000 cash prize. TMZ reported that Pivarnick did not stop as she also learned a couple of tricks while trying her hand at the stripper pole.

Surprisingly, Pivarnick's first public appearance amid her legal drama featured her fiancé Vinny Tortorella. The pair reportedly enjoyed their time at the club together before calling it quits around 5 AM and leaving for the airport.
It is unclear if this means the pair are back on track after Pivarnick allegedly called authorities on Tortorella for a domestic violence incident. However, sources noted the reality TV star did not step out with her engagement ring.
The couple's outing comes two weeks after The Blast shared that Pivarnick was slapped with multiple charges, including simple assault, criminal mischief, obstructing the administration of law, and resisting arrest.
These charges stem from a municipal summons issued earlier this month over an undisclosed incident.
Authorities reportedly cited legal exemptions related to domestic violence cases and ongoing criminal investigations as reasons for withholding the information about Pivarnick's case.

While cops refused to spill details about Pivarnick's criminal charges, her lawyer, on the other hand, was happy to shed light on the case. Like authorities, James Leonard refused to explain what happened, but he claimed it wasn't a big deal.
"This is nothing more than a very minor incident that was exacerbated by an adverse reaction to prescribed over-the-counter medication," the attorney claimed, adding:
"We look forward to resolving this matter favorably and putting it behind us. Angelina is home resting and has no further comment at this time."
Leonard also noted that the municipal summons implied the incident was not particularly severe, but he did not provide additional details.

News of possible trouble in Pivarnick's relationship broke in August 2023, with The Blast reporting she called the cops on her fiancé. A police report revealed she had contacted them to lodge an alleged domestic violence complaint.
Although the TV personality called 911 to report the incident, when authorities arrived, she refused to press charges against Tortorella. However, a "criminal investigatory record" was generated based on the reported altercation.
It was unclear what happened between Pivarnick and her fiancé; however, her attorney stressed that the matter had been resolved. He requested the public respect his client's privacy, echoing similar sentiments to Tortorella's lawyer.

After Pivarnick's lawyer addressed the situation in a statement, Tortorella's attorney followed suit with a declaration of his client's innocence. He assured fans that all was well in the duo's relationship, claiming:
"My client and Ms. Pivarnick are still engaged and are still residing together. Mr. Tortorella denies any act of impropriety that would warrant police involvement and denies any act of domestic violence occurred."
"No charges have been pressed against my client by Ms. Pivarnick or law enforcement. I ask that his privacy be respected in this regard," Tortorella's lawyer continued. Another source echoed similar sentiments, saying:
"Angelina and Vinny are still engaged and are still very much in love with one another, and they are both actively filming 'Jersey Shore' Season 7 that will air in the fall."
