The duo split in January after more than two years of marriage.
Rather than confronting his costar about her alleged actions, Sorrentino told the rest of the cast that the New York native was to blame for the leaked footage. When the official Jersey Shore Instagram account posted a teaser clip for the July episode where it all went down, titled “Messy Mike,” the sober reality star dragged Pivarnick in the comments.
