The kids of Jersey Shore are all being sued by a woman who says their security guards scarred her for life. According to court papers a woman known as J.P. had a run-in with Snooki (the same night this went down), and now she's got a gash on her chin thanks to four security guards who threw her to the ground during the altercation. So, it's payback time. J.P. is suing Viacom, 495 Productions, and the cast for assault and racketeering; "The lawsuit claims these companies are engaged in criminality as they are profiting from the criminal behavior of the show's stars," according to the Daily News. When the cast was served, Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola allegedly refused the papers, leaving them on the ground (you're still getting sued, though, Sweetheart).
