Jenni “JWoww” Farley isn’t mad about Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi removing herself from their group chat. 

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

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

Since then, she’s got her fiancé, professional wrestler Zack Clayton Carpinello, hooked on the murder mystery series.

“And then I got to watch it again because I introduced it 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” became “a super fan” of the series.

“Now the fact that we get to watch the origin story? I’m so excited,” she continued.

According to JWoww, if both friends could have been at the premiere together on Wednesday, they would have been “screaming” while they watched.

The television personality then explained Snooki’s absence. 

“Her son Angelo is sick,” JWoww said of the 5-year-old. 

Snooki shares Angelo 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] like 2 o’clock today, like, ‘I am so mad,’ ” JWoww told PEOPLE. “She even — she’s gonna kill me for saying this — she left the group chat because she was so mad. She’s like, ‘Bye, I can’t know any spoilers.’ ”

While the original series saw Michael C. Hall as the lead, the 53-year-old actor will assume the title of “narrator” for the prequel in which Patrick Gibson becomes his younger version, explaining how his serial killer ways came to be.

Per an official synopsis, Dexter’s “bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer,” so the student “must learn to channel his inner darkness.”

He does so 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 law enforcement’s radar.” 

However, things get tricky for young Dexter when he starts a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.

The cast also includes Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christina Milian and Patrick Dempsey.

Dexter: Original Sin, premieres on Paramount+ with Showtime on Friday, Dec. 13.
