We reached out to MTV with our concerns, and the network has now apologized for the incident. MTV said in a statement:
We appreciate GLAAD voicing concern about the "Jersey Shore" reunion special. The segment in question was certainly not meant to be insensitive, but in retrospect we realize that it was offensive to some viewers. We sincerely apologize.
