The aforementioned scene involved Snookie, one of the lead characters, at a Jersey Shore bar when she gets punched in the face by 24-year-old gym teacher, Lou Ferro. MTV released this following statement:

What happened to “Snooki” was a crime and obviously extremely disturbing,” MTV said in a statement Friday. “After hearing from our viewers, further consulting with experts on the issue of violence, and seeing how the video footage has been taken out of context to not show the severity of this act or the resulting consequences, MTV has decided not to air “Snooki” being physically punched in next week’s episode.”

At the end of the episode, MTV plans to air a list of places where people can call if in an abusive relationship.
