Let's just agree that eventually, one day, there will be a Lifetime made for television movie about how one of the Jersey Shore stars went a little insane from steroids or too much tanning or whatever, and snapped. This movie could be coming to a small screen near you sooner than expected, if Jenni "J-Woww" Farley really did get all stabby on her ex. Farley has been embroiled in an on-again/off-again relationship with her former manager Tom Lippolis, and recently he told Star magazine that Farley "put a kitchen knife through my entire arm."
RadarOnline has video of Lippolis making his claims, where he adds, "I thought she was going to kill me. She cut right through the muscle and everything." After the attack, which he says happened in March, he needed 57 stitches! There was allegedly also a fire poker incident that could have ended horribly.
Why didn't Farley end up behind bars for the attack? Lippolis says he "was crazy in love with her" at the time. Awww. Someone give these two their own reality show!
