Dumped men and women are expected to have harsh words for their former significant other. But why would anyone go so far as to wish the worst for an ex’s pregnancy?
Snooki’s ex/gentleman in the making Emilio Masella isn’t too thrilled with her (unofficial) pregnancy. He even had harsher words about it than most Internet commenters, who usually just stick to jabs about the baby coming out spray tanned. When asked about Snooki’s state, he responded:
I hope for her sake … not to be rude or anything … but I hope she has a miscarriage.”
I like that he prefaced the statement with “not to be rude or anything,” as if that would make it less offensive. If you have to preface something with “not to be rude,” it probably is. Masella followed that statement up with a few less shocking (but almost as offensive) ones, such as, “I would def recommend her to get a paternity test to see who the father is, because I’m sure there are other subjects” and that Snooki will “pull a Kim Kardashian” with her fiancé. Is it really too difficult for him to handle this situation with a shred of dignity? [via TMZ]
I cringe at some of the mean things I’ve said in anger, especially to ex-boyfriends. Breakups rarely bring out the best in people, and seeing an ex move on can be painful and nerve-grating. But surely if you’ve been followed by TV cameras for months, you should know when to keep your mouth shut, even if terrible thoughts are running through your mind.
What do you think of Emilio’s comments? Have you ever said anything terrible about an ex?

I don’t give a shit how much of a stupid bitch she is you don’t say that to people. Let alone people you were close to.

Ah TMZ although a more credible news source than any of the major news networks, I’m sure they didn’t take this out of context so overly opinionated and sensitive people could rant about it on blogging sites driving advertisement’s on their site through the roof for profit.

My SIL told me she hoped I miscarried.
yeah, uncalled for and cruel. You, just don’t do that, idiots.
guest
Extra! Extra! Someone says something heartless about their ex!
guest
well, its a miscarriage, or its born and has fetal alcohol syndrome.
pick your poison. we all know why he said it. it wasn’t the most politically correct way to say anything, but…

that’s so mean!

Well, we all know Snooki probably isn’t going to be the best mother–and what he said was extremely cruel, so not defending it– but maybe he was just expressing this? I mean, when I first heard about Snooki’s pregnancy, I honestly felt worried for her child.
guest
I think it’s hilariously lame how judgmental people are, though it’s no surprise (unfortunately). Let’s say her ex falls madly in love with someone who gets pregnant, only to give birth to a dead baby at the end of her ninth month. Wonder if he’d remember making such a comment? Although in my experience, karma seldom shows its face, so he’ll probably never go through such a thing. How the fuck do you even say something like that?
guest
“Not to be rude or anything.”
Well, you were rude and inconsiderate.
guest
I don’t wish a miscarriage upon anyone and he should be ashamed of himself. Who knows? Snooki might mature with a baby.
guest
harsh. & cruel.
no matter how badly a relationship ended, shouldn’t say these kind of things.

I hope for his sake…not to be rude or anything…but I hope someone kicks him in the balls so hard they pop out his throat!! Dude WTF?! I’ll be the first to tell you I hate Jersey Shore & the worst thing MTV ever did was give it airtime. But I would NEVER wish a miscarriage on any woman! That’s just horrible & cruel. I’ve had close friends deal with this & stillbirths & words can describe the pain parents go through over this.
If Snooki is pregnant, I wish her the best in her pregnancy & hope the baby changes her for the better. As for the dickwad ex, lets see how he fairs in life knowing the world heard those words. No woman would want him after that.
guest
whoa. bitter much, emilio masella?
guest
I’m sorry, nothing calls for that. I suffered a miscarriage when I was nineteen and my ex charmingly decided to call me a murderer because of it. It’s vile.
guest
We don’t expect much from Snooki, so why would we expect a kind, chivalrous word from her ex or the people she knows for that matter?
guest
“not to be rude or anything”
Well, when people use that phrase, they are trying to be rude without further ridicule. It’s like putting a “LOL” at the end of something harsh, knowing you meant to be harsh but you want that person to think you were joking.
guest
I’ve never said anything too bad about an ex. However, my ex’s have said terrible things about me.
guest
What is a snooki? Is this yet another example of that odd Armenian family? What is the deal with them. I don’t understand. Someone please clarify! They just seem like a bunch of fat women with bad tans.

Well, “not to be rude or anything,” but I feel the same way. I understand that nobody should be judged and everyone should be given a fair chance, and maybe Snooki will be a good mother some day, but I feel like she’s not up to the responsibility atm.

He’s just mad. Haha.

Snooki’s due date is 12/21/12. Well played, Mayans. Well played.
guest
The fact that this pathetic oompa loompa is reproducing is actually what bothers me about this situation.
guest
I don’t think Snooki is a responsible person but I would -never- wish a miscarriage on anyone. He is being an a**.
guest
I’ve miscarried twice. It’s more devastating than I think he realizes. And even though I think Snooki is a shallow, vapid waste of air, I still hope her baby is alive, healthy, and is well cared for.
guest
People grow up a lot when they get pregnant and have children. Not all, but most. People should give her a break…she could be an amazing mother. Only time will tell.
guest
I think it makes you come of low and immature if you talk THIS badly about exes, or say something so mean in public. And the pretentious “not to be rude” makes it worse, because it shows he thought about saying it too.
guest
if you don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything at all… (this applies here)
guest
@Megabyyte@xanga - my FIL new wife practically told me I should get an abortion (she just had a baby with my father in law so she fears the grandchild will steal the spot light I guess). I know how harsh that can be.
guest
You don’t wish that upon anybody. ANYBODY. And it was unbelievable immature, and ridiculously douche-y for him to say that. I don’t care who Snooki is or who’s she’s screwed or how she lives her life. That’s seriously f-ed up.
guest
It kind of bugs me that people are saying they’re worried for the baby so they understand where he’s coming from. You’re worried about the baby so you understand why he wants it to never even have a chance…..to DIE? My parents were both drug addicts, and somehow I managed to become a pretty awesome person if I may say so myself. Pray for the kid, hope for the kid, cross your fingers for the kid, whatever, but don’t hope that it dies.
