PEOPLE talked to Jersey Shore alum, 38, on Dexter: Original Sin premiered at the SVA Theater in New York City on Wednesday, December 11, and she explained that motherhood took priority over Snooka’s plans for their night out.

JWoww, who said she watched the 8-season drama “in real time” when it first aired in 2006, “fell in love” with Dexter Morgan — a Miami blood splatter expert who not only helped solve murders, but he secretly committed them, too.

Since then, her fiancé, professional wrestler Zack Clayton Carpinello, has been drawn into a series of murder mysteries.
“And then I had to watch it again because I introduced him to Snookie, Nicole,” JWoww told PEOPLE on the red carpet.
She added that her fellow MTV star, 37, was “so upset she couldn’t be here tonight”, saying the self-proclaimed “meatball” had become a “super fan” of the show.
“Now the fact that we can watch an origin story? I’m so excited,” she continued.
According to JWoww, if both friends could have been together at Wednesday’s premiere, they would have “screamed” while watching.

The television personality then explained Snooki’s absence.
“Her son Angelo is sick,” JWoww said of the 5-year-old.
Snooki shares Angel James with husband Jionni LaValle. The couple are also parents to son Lorenzo Dominic (11) and daughter Giovanna Marie (10).

“I felt so bad, she texted me [at] today around 2 o’clock, like, ‘I’m so mad,'” JWoww told PEOPLE. “She even – she’s going to kill me for saying this – left the group chat because she was so angry. She says, ‘Hi, I don’t know any spoilers.’ ”
While the original series saw Michael C. Hall in the title role, the 53-year-old actor will take on the title of “narrator” for the previous sequel, which sees Patrick Gibson become a younger version of himself, explaining how his serial killer ways came to be.

According to the official synopsis, Dexter’s “bloodthirsty urges can no longer be ignored,” so the student “must learn to channel his inner darkness.”
He does this with the guidance of his father Harry (Christian Slater), who helps him “find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on the radar of law enforcement.”
However, things get complicated for young Dexter when he begins a forensics internship at a Miami metro police station.
