90 Day Fiance’s Ashley Martson Speaks Out After Fighting With Angelina Pivarnick at a Charity Event: ‘It Wasn’t the Place for That’

Sharing her truth. 90 Day Fiancé star Ashley Martson is speaking out after getting into a fight with fellow reality TV personality, Jersey Shore’s Angelina Privarnick, after attending a charity event on Monday, December 16. “Monday night was supposed to be all about the kids,” Martson, 33, told Us Weekly exclusively on Wednesday, December 18. “I think for the most part, we were successful in doing what we were there to do. I would have hoped that any story written about Monday night would be focused on the charity and kids we were supposed to be there for.” Martson and Pivarnick, also 33, made an appearance at Buca di Beppo in Times Square, NYC, on Tuesday to attend Johnny Donovan’s annual celebrity Christmas party supporting Little Flower Children Services of New York, presented by Dr. Jacquie Smiles. Though tension started brewing between the pair during their attendance at the charitable affair, they also butted heads later that night while at the Sugar Factory in New York City. The TLC star told Us that Pivarnick allegedly “seems to want to insert herself” into Martson’s personal life. However, she can’t “make any sense” of the MTV star’s motives for this. “During the event, she was having conversations about me to the other guests,” Martson claimed. “I didn’t engage. It wasn’t the place for that. We were invited to the event to lift a group of underprivileged kids’ spirits during the holiday season, not to bring petty drama. After the event, I was asked to dine at The Sugar Factory. To my knowledge, Angelina was not invited but she showed up at the restaurant and joined the group that I was with.” [jwplayer ADvZ7JsO-l3ahXupL] In recalling their time at the restaurant, Martson alleged that Pivarnick had “an altercation” with some of the mother-of-two’s friends. Though she stated that “things were settling down” after those apparent arguments simmered out, the New York native allegedly started things back up again roughly 20 minutes later. “Angelina went back to her antics that she is famous for and again, started saying negative things about me to the table making people visibly uncomfortable,” Martson claimed. “Instead of letting it go as I had done all night, I confronted Angelina. I don’t think what I said to her is appropriate for me to discuss publicly as it’s personal to her and could impact more than she and I.” Martson continued, “One of the other guests did intervene in the confrontation and suggested we go take a breather. I went outside. The group at the table, with the exception of Angelina, her rep and her two friends left the restaurant and we went to another establishment.” Pivarnick hasn’t publicly addressed her fight with Martson. However, after the incident went down on Monday, she shared a post to Instagram on Wednesday that featured a cryptic quote. “Respect yourself enough to walk away from anyone or anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy,” the quote read. Beneath the pic, a fan expressed concern for Pivarnick, and they asked the reality TV star whether she was “okay.” In response, she wrote “everything is great” and noted that it’s “just a quote.” Scroll down to take a look back at some of the reality stars’ biggest scandals.

Too Close for Comfort

Pivarnick found herself in a heap of trouble when her Jersey Shore costar Jenni “JWoww” Farley slammed her after the mother-of-two found out that her boyfriend, Zack Clayton Carpinello, was taking things too far with the Staten Island native. During an episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation that aired in October 2019, Carpinello groped Pivarnick when the seaside gang were at a Las Vegas nightclub. He also kissed his girlfriend’s costar on the cheek. Farley was left in the dark about this until the footage aired.

Drama All-Around

Pivarnick has butted heads with several of her Jersey Shore castmates, including Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi. In an October 2019 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Polizzi got involved in Pivarnick’s fight with Farley over her beau’s behavior with her at the club. Polizzi ultimately stormed out and called Pivarnick “f--ing fake.”

The End of The Road

Martson initially confirmed to Us in January 2019 that she filed for divorce from Smith. The pair later rekindled their relationship, but she filed a second time in April 2019 after he allegedly cheated on her. However, she still wasn’t “done” with Smith until October 2019. At the time, she told In Touch that she was “distraught yet again” after Smith allegedly got another woman pregnant.

Involving the Law

Pivarnick, who is employed as an EMT, sought legal action against New York City and her FDNY supervisor in September 2019 based on claims of sexual harassment. According to court documents obtained by Us, she alleged that she experienced “unwelcome sexual advances, degrading comments about her body, vulgar sexual comments [and] inappropriate questions about her private relationships” on a “repeated” basis for more than a year.

Cheater, Cheater

The world was first introduced to Martson when she appeared on season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé with her now estranged husband, Jay Smith. The pair met during Marton’s trip to Jamaica. After returning home to Pennsylvania, she made her way back to Smith’s native country and he proposed. They tied the knot in May 2018, but the relationship was soon plagued with cheating rumors when Smith accused Marston of infidelity via Instagram after he was caught communicating with other women on dating apps.

News later broke that Smith had a mistress named Kayla O’Brien. In April 2019, Martson told Us how she found out about the secret romance, saying: “He was talking to Kayla, and I found some messages. He was going to the strip club, like, many times a week. … Then someone had alerted me that, like, he was talking to one of the girls in there.”

Awkward Situations

Privarnick spoke with Us after her Jersey Shore costars and bridesmaids Polizzi, Farley and Deena Nicole Cortese gave not-so-nice speeches at her wedding to Chris Larangeira in November 2019. “I live day by day, so I’m going to try to forget about the past,” she told Us in December 2019. “My thing is, I forgive too many people too quickly. I’m going to stop doing that, so for 2020, that’s also a new thing. I’m going to keep my circle way smaller, you know? I think right now, all I need is my husband and my family and his family.”

Behind Bars

Three months after filing for divorce from Smith in April 2019, Martson filed for a protection from abuse order against her estranged spouse. In violating this protective measure, Smith turned himself in after receiving a warrant for his arrest. Though he was placed into U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and also faced deportation, Smith was released in July 2019.

Going Out With a Bang

Pivarnick returned to Jersey Shore for season 2 in 2010, but she chose to leave a second time part way through. Before making her exit, she called all of her costars “fake people.” The New Yorker also engaged in a physical altercation with Polizzi.
