“We’re all begging her to come back on the show.”

Naturally, fans were very excited about this news. But there was one catch...

MTV

While MOST of the original cast would be returning for the reboot, one beloved cast member had opted out: Sammi Sweetheart.

But Snooki just spilled a whole lot of tea on the reboot in her podcast, It's Happening — and she revealed the reason why Sammi doesn't want to come back.

Everyone's asking why Sammi's not doing it. You have to ask her that — I'm not gonna speak for her. But Sammi is just in such a happy place that I feel like she doesn't want to jump back into that drama if it does happen.

But, she finally shared the ACTUAL reason Sammi wasn't returning: Ronnie.

MTV

"Filming the show, Jersey Shore, back then...it was crazy. It took a toll on you. It was very emotional."

MTV

"And being that there was a lot of Ron and Sam drama when we did film, it was just really hard on both of them. So I just think she doesn't want that anymore."

But at the same time, we're just like, it's gonna be different. We're all begging her to come back on the show. It's really up to her. Everyone pray that Sammi comes back, because I feel like she might change her mind. So Sam, if you're listening, come to the show. Like, stop being — stop it. Stop it right now before I spank you.

Snooki also expressed concern that Sammi will regret her decision.

MTV

"It's like, you don't pass this up, you know? So we're trying to tell her that, but we can't force her to come. So hopefully she changes her mind."

YA HEAR THAT, FOLKS? THERE'S STILL A CHANCE.

MTV

Please come back, Sammi Sweetheart. It won't be the same without you!!!
