Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi still hasn’t come face to face with her birth mother.
Although the “Jersey Shore” star had plans to Zoom call her mom, she revealed to The Post that she realized she still needs more time.
“I’m holding off with that. I don’t think I was ready,” she said from the red carpet for “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation,” which aired its ninth and final season on MTV Thursday.
A native of Santiago, Chile, the now 38-year-old reality star was six months old when she was adopted by Andy and Helen Polizzi of Marlboro, NY.
During the show’s eighth season, Polizzi found her birth mom through an investigative genealogist and called her for the very first time — telling The Post last year she felt like she “blacked out in that moment.”
During their call, conducted with the help of an interpreter, her mother cried, apologizing for putting her up for adoption and explaining it was a very difficult moment in her life and she suffered greatly from it.
After hearing the emotion in her voice, Polizzi asked the interpreter to tell her, ‘Don’t cry, I have a beautiful life.'”

But on the recent red carpet, which was outside of Marquee nightclub in Chelsea, she revealed that hasn’t happened yet.
“I think what I did … was enough because I literally had a panic attack.”

“In the future, yes, I would love to FaceTime her and eventually go to Chile and meet her,” she said.
“But yeah, that’s in the future.”
