'Jerseylicious' star Tracy DiMarco slams 'Jersey Shore': 'Jersey doesn't want them!'
New Jersey's Queen of Mean has spoken and she wants "Jersey Shore" out!With the fourth season of the MTV reality show set to begin filming in Italy, the homeland has been vocal in their distaste for the show and its portrayal of Italian-Americans. Come to find out, even fellow Jersey reality stars are unimpressed with the gang.
Zap2it talked Garden State gossip with "Jerseylicious" star Tracy DiMarco, who has trash talked her way into the hearts of fans over the past two seasons of the Style reality show.
DiMarco holds nothing back when we ask her about the spotlight on Jersey and what she thinks of the "situation" down at the shore.
"I'm friends with Pauly [Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio], so I try to watch it once in a while but I'm not the biggest fan of it," she admits. "I think it's kind of trashy and it's hard for me to watch sometimes because it gives Jersey such a bad name. It's because they're not even from Jersey, so I get kind of offended by it."
The glam Jersey girl is quick to call the cast members "really big trash bags," except for new found friend Pauly and Deena Cortese, whom she's known for years.
"I've known Deena for forever. I can't say anything bad about [her]," DiMarco says, before quickly finding a loophole. "I definitely think she's crazy. There's something definitely missing upstairs -- like a couple light bulbs upstairs are not on. But other than that, I think she's a really nice girl."
Like the rest of us here at Zap2it, DiMarco doesn't expect the Italy excursion to make for good TV after the strict guidelines set in place by the mayor of Florence. The cast has been restricted from drinking in public while filming, and the city is not to be portrayed as a partying place.
"I just think that Italy doesn't want them and I mean no offense, but Jersey doesn't want them either," the 23-year-old slams. "They make it seem like they live here or something, they don't. They just come here and party for two months and then they go home, but they act like they own it."
A true Jersey girl, DiMarco enlightens us on why her culture is suddenly appealing to the masses, despite her distaste for these "Shore" impostors.
"I think Jersey's amazing," she gushes. "People are starting to realize that we're really genuine people and we're just a lot of fun. We're different because we don't give a f*** what people think about our clothes, or the way we dress, or the way we look."
Adding, "I think they kind of envy how much confidence we all have... We're kind of raw about everything that we do."
So... remember that time DiMarco spit in co-star/worker Olivia Sharpe's face? Well, look forward to even more cat fights when Season 3 of "Jerseylicious" returns. DiMarco gave us some great dirt on what to expect, which we will share with you all very soon.
You can watch the Vivica A. Fox hosted reunion special when it airs on Style Sunday May 8th at 8 PM. DiMarco tells us, "It was insane... If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed that it actually happened."
We can't wait.

I'm not a fan either, but um, no one would even care what you thought if it wasn't for Jersey Shore.
Don't bite the hand, honey!
Tracy's fat *** is lucky to even be interviewed for this pitiful column. She's a hater who only WISHES she could be as famous as the JS cast. As for being friends with Pauly D?....he doesn't confirm it. Ha ha, she's riding on his coattails!
As an outsider, I will attest that all of these shows give Italian-Americans a bad name and the whole state of Jersey a bad image. Sorry. Maybe it is the editing.
I love luv jersey Shore and Jerseylicous.
Tracy get off your high horse! YOU give Jersey a bad rep! You are so negative, rude, selfish & ugly. It's because of girls like YOU that Jersey girls are looked at like trash. You are so fake and your attitude you aren't happy unless everyone around you is miserable. I wish the show would get rid of you. Thank goodness for TiVo, I can fast forward over you. You have no talent and the only reason why you are a "F" list celeb is bc of this show. You need to take an etiquette course. Get some class you trashy Jersey Clown face FUG
Tracy you got some real issues, first if you would loose some weight maybe your wide mouth that looks like a ship will shrink and next leave Olivia alone, she is the only one that has more class and more beautiful then you thats why she is the only one that you can't get along with, sorry your ugly and she is not. Olivia is not the fake one get it,you are, and you do want to be her.
I can’t stand Tracy, why she is so mean is anyone’s guess but I think she has some serious issues that she needs to work out within herself. I like the ENTIRE JS cast, including Sammi and Ron before I changed the disdain that I have against Tracy. I am so excited that the new season has come out because I am so anxious to see how everything is going to play out and due to a recent schedule change, I can’t be at home to enjoy it. Luckily, I can watch the show using the DISH Remote Access app with DISH Network so I can watch live and pre-recorded shows and I don’t even have to be at home. I have my Sling Adapter connected to my DVR then paired with the app and voila, everything I need is right at my fingertips. Now that I work at DISH Network, I am trying out all of the products and this one is definitely a keeper. I love it!

Guys, shut up! You are such haters its not even funny. I am such a fan of Olivia and I don't like Tracy, but be kind. Don't trash talk her. Sure, she has an attitude, but don't be like that. Ever consider, that when she reads the blogs, she gets hateful because of you people?? Hating on her?? Seriously, GET. A. LIFE. Stop hating. I know she needs to be nice, but one step at a time. Be good people. And plus, it IS Jersey Shore that makes Jersey look like trash. Do you see what they do on there? Ugly ****ing stuff. They have issues. You go Tracy, stand up for what you believe in. (: Jerseylicious!
