Deena Cortese Confirms in Deleted Instagram Post That She’s Not Filming ‘Jersey Shore Family Vacation’ Season 2 in Vegas

“Please tell me you aren’t going to bring a blow-up doll version of me to Vegas, guys…”

The cast of Jersey Shore Family Vacation has been in Las Vegas for the past few days, filming the show’s second season. However, one member of the ‘Shore’ gang– Deena Cortese— has been missing from the photos and videos that have leaked of the cast filming in Vegas.

In a message posted to her Instagram account (that has since been deleted), Deena confirmed that she is not going to be filming the show’s second season in Vegas, due to what she called “personal stuff.”

‘Jersey Shore’ fans were speculating that Deena bailed on filming because she is pregnant, but Deena put that rumor to rest.

“I just want to make it clear that it’s not bc I’m pregnant that I am not in Vegas,” Deena wrote. “I am NOT pregnant. I am not in Vegas bc I have some personal stuff going on at home…that I need to attend to…which prevented my schedule and production schedule to match up accordingly. Now let’s put the rumors to rest. Thank you.”

Deena’s post…before it was deleted…

Before she deleted the post, Deena responded in the comment section to a fan asking if the “personal stuff” Deena was attending to had to do with her getting a divorce from her husband, Chris Buckner.

“No not at all…me and [Chris] have an amazing marriage,” Deena wrote.

As The Ashley previously reported, the ‘Jersey Shore’ cast has been filming and stirring up trouble in Vegas since Wednesday. (Cast member Ronnie Ortiz-Magro has already managed to get into at least two altercations since he’s been in The LV.) While the majority of ‘Family Vacation’ Season 2 will be filmed in Vegas, a portion of the season will be filmed in New Jersey.

It is unknown if Deena, who lives in New Jersey, will participate in that part of filming.

Deena and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola are the only main cast members who are not filming in Vegas for Season 2. Photos and videos of the rest of the cast– Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Ronnie, Vinny GuadagninoPauly D and Jenni “JWoww” Farley— have begun to surface online.

Check out some footage of the cast filming Season 2 in Vegas earlier this week:

  1. Deena is a sweet girl and probably didn’t want to continue with the depressing garbage that is Ron, Jenni and Nicole. Drinking to oblivion, fighting and general vulgarity are just not for everyone. Respect Deena’s decision to stay home with her husband. I wish her all the best.


    1. I agree! Deena does not act like she is enjoying this at all. It seems like the producers push her to act wild, which is just not her !


  2. I feel bad I hope she is okay she didn’t seem herself on the season. I wonder if she is having trouble getting pregnant i wish her well I will miss the blast in a glass next season


  3. I read on a blind gossip site that there was a b list reality star who just got on top of her game again but didnt go back for another season because she just had a miscarriage.


  4. When snooki and J wow went home to see their kids why wasn’t she able to go home to see Chris then Vinny Roonie and Mike bought her ticket but why couldn’t she purchased ticket on her own? That was weird. Was she broke?


  5. She cries so much about missing her husband, she probably can’t bear to leave him again -___-‘

    Does anyone else remember season 6 and Deena constantly breaking down crying about missing Chris when they had just started dating? And her freaking the f out when Pauly and Vinny pranked her by taking pictures that copied the ones she had of her and Chris? She legit was enraged at them because she thought they took her pictures away.

    She needs to talk to someone about those co-dependency issues.


  6. Too bad, she is the most hilarious cast member. And people need to leave her alone, if she doesn’t want to talk about the stuff why she is not there, let her have some privacy.


  7. She’s sweet and genuine, I hope she and her family are ok.
    Personally, I would want to film around that psycho Ron or his disgusting girlfriend. They’re a murder suicide waiting to happen and their children are collateral damage.


    1. The last thing Sammie needs is to be around an abusive Ron. I don’t blame her at all for giving up jersey shore so she doesn’t have to be around him. He’s an unstable abusive druggie mess


    2. Sammie is doing the best thing for herself!!! She definitely doesn’t need to be around Ronnie OR his baby mama!! Give them time~~~~next thing we’ll all see is the 2 of them on the 11:00 news!!!!! 🙂
