It seems no one is safe from the Ashley Madison hacking scandal. Two of the latest celebrity names allegedly on the list are Real Housewives of New York City star Kristen Taekman, her entrepreneur husband Josh Taekman, as well as, Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and her husband Jionni LaValle. On Tuesday (Aug. 25), Polizzi took to Instagram to shut down all the rumors about her husband and reassure the media that he isn't the type of person to commit such an act.
News broke Monday night (Aug. 24), about LaValle's personal email allegedly being found on the infamous list of names that use the site. Ashley Madison allows members to sign up for an opportunity to cheat on their spouse or significant other, for a cost of course.
Polizzi posted a photo of the two of them dancing on their wedding day with a heartfelt caption describing the love she has for her husband and how offended they were to even get sucked into the debacle.
"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," she wrote. "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."
A similar rumor broke out in January when a tabloid story accused LaValle of flirting with other women and handing out his phone number. The 27-year-old defended her man with pride again in Tweet where she dismissed the rumor and the magazine for creating such a scandalous lie about her husband, calling the publication "shady." She reassured everyone LaValle was happy and wasn't planning on going anywhere.
"So no," said Polizzi. "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 met LaValle while filming Jersey Shore. The two got married in November and have two beautiful children, 3-year-old son Lorenzo and an 11-month-old baby girl named Giovanna who they welcomed in September.
