Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi says husband didn't use Ashley Madison

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi says reports of her husband, Jionni LaValle, having an Ashley Madison account are false.

On Monday, Us Weekly reported that an e-mail address linked to LaValle was found in the hacked database for the "married dating and discreet encounters" website.

But Polizzi isn't letting the rumors get her down. She confronted the reports head-on in a post on Instagram, not long after she slammed Josh Duggar and his wife on her podcast, saying, "And his wife is still standing by him! It's like, 'What the f*** is wrong with you? Like, what are you doing?' Yep, screw it."

On Tuesday, the reality star posted a photo of herself with LaValle on their wedding day and wrote in the caption, "This morning when I got a call from my publicist that a story was going to be printed on my husband 'allegedly' signing up on Ashley Madison, I laughed- and said lets not even comment and give the story any juice, because it couldn't be any further from the truth.

"But now seeing how it's the 'news of the day' and everyone is wondering what I think about it- here it is. Jionni is the the most humble, respectful, and most loyal souls I know. I mean hello, that's why I married him. He's a stand up guy who loves his family more than anything in this world."

Polizzi pointed out that all of the reports had disclaimer terms like "allegedly."

This morning when I got a call from my publicist that a story was going to be printed on my husband "allegedly" signing up on Ashley Madison, I laughed- and said lets not even comment and give the story any juice, because it couldn't be any further from the truth. But now seeing how it's the "news of the day" and everyone is wondering what I think about it- here it is. Jionni is the the most humble, respectful, and most loyal souls I know. I mean hello, that's why I married him. He's a stand up guy who loves his family more than anything in this world. The fact that the tabloids can deliberately make stories up and print things like "Jionni LaValle ALLEGEDLY and MAY HAVE signed up on Ashley Madison" is absurd. I can see if there is proof in the story to make it legitimate, but to accuse my husband of something he had no idea about... HOW IS THAT LEGAL? I really didn't even want to acknowledge this absurd story, but when my family is being bashed for no reason- mama bear is gonna say what's up. So no, my husband didn't sign up on that website to cheat on me. Honestly, if he wanted to cheat- he would go out and do it. Not sign up on a website and pay for it. Jionni is a good guy and doesn't need his name being tarnished. Nor does our family. We did nothing wrong to deserve this. So with all of this said, I love you babe. And even though I'm a pain in your ass, I know you would never cheat on me. Especially on a lame ass website. @jlavalle5 💕 #myfamilyrocks

Polizzi added that her husband doesn't need a website to cheat.

And even though I'm a pain in your a**, I know you would never cheat on me. Especially on a lame a** website."

This isn't the first time Polizzi has battled rumors of LaValle cheating. In January, InTouch published a story alleging that LaValle was texting another woman and looking for more. Polizzi hit back and tweeted that the story was a lie.
