Snooki quitting 'Jersey Shore' after 3rd season

The party’s over for Snooki.

The reality show star whose real name is Nicole Polizzi announced she’s retiring from the “Jersey Shore” franchise to spend time with her kids and get away from the constant drama on the series that she says is “turning into a nightmare.”

“Don’t hate me for my decision but I have to do what’s best for me at the moment and I am retiring from ‘Jersey Shore,’” Snooki said on Friday’s installment of her podcast “It’s Happening with Snooki & Joey,” which she co-hosts with best friend Joey Camasta.

“I am not coming back to ‘Jersey Shore’ for a season 4 if there is one,” she added. “And there’s a lot of reasons why, but the main reason is — I just can’t do it anymore. Literally leaving my kids to film it is really, really hard on me and Joey knows I try and quit every single day.”
