It Finally Happened: Deena And Angelina Spoke On Jersey Shore -- After Nearly A Year

Eight little words plus a sole plate of bruschetta was all it took for two roommates to mend fences.


Tonight's Jersey Shore: Family member Vacation kicked off awkwardly enough with a family-dinner-turned-couples-retreat to welcome Pauly's D's main chick Nikki to the fam. (Sorry side piece, Vin.) Deena, who hadn't faced her former roommate since that wedding, had agreed to attend on one condition: Angelina had to sit at the opposite end of the table.


Following some mindless order chatter about oatmeal recipes, sweet tea, and scented pinecones, the meatball was the one to initiate contact for the initial time in nearly each year with an innocent request: "Angelina, do you mind passing me the bruschetta?" (Also known as a simple question that will go down in history because the Italian version of passing the olive branch.")


But diced tomatoes atop grilled bread was merely just the starting. In a major post-dinner chooch move, it was actually Vinny's faux pas (the utterance of the word "speech") that officially "broke the ice" and sealed the peacemaking deal.


"Even though I didn't hope to sit down with her here, maybe I will. It's gonna have to happen eventually," Deena admitted.


In the heavily anticipated sitdown of all sitdowns, the women finally aired their grievances to one another over waffles, rather than on social media.


"What I would love to hear from Angelina is like, 'I apologize for feeding into social media' along with owning up to how she acted at the wedding. A lot of times, Angelina has a hard time owning up to her own sh*t," mentioned Deena, with Angelina sustaining that their friendship "was very real."


Despite their high hopes, the conversation that Deena "had been dreading" for nearly each year almost got worse before it got better, leading the expectant mama to wonder if lose "made a large mistake." Although things took a turn whenever they both agreed to keep their gym-tan-dirty-laundry off of Instagram.


"If there's sh*t that happens in our family member, it has to just stay here," Deena mentioned, with Angelina nodding in agreement. "And then we can move past it in our own time without so several millions of people."


Heartfelt apologies were issued from both sides, with Deena feeling like "a weight has lifted" and Angelina having high hopes "to mend the friendship" — though any potential truce with JWOWW is a different story.
