So long, Karma.
The stars of “Jersey Shore” took to social media Wednesday to react to the news that their iconic hangout in Seaside Heights, NJ, has been demolished.
“We got a Situation,” Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino tweeted in response to a video of the club being torn down.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, for her part, clapped back at a hater named Bucky who wished the cast of the MTV reality series “was inside” when an excavator destroyed the famed haunt.
“Aw you wishin death on us Bucky, that’s cool!” she wrote.
Karma gained notoriety in the early 2010s as the “Jersey Shore” crew’s go-to place to drink and dance into the wee hours of the morning during the first seasons of their show.
However, the two-story bar faced legal and financial troubles in more recent years, leading to its closure in 2018 after Seaside Heights revoked its liquor license over reports of underage drinking.
“There will be people with some good memories of the early days, but then later on, it became a very hectic situation,” the borough’s mayor, Tony Vaz, told News12 New Jersey Wednesday.

After Karma went up for auction in 2020, rumors swirled that the “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” cast would buy and try to revive the club to its glory days.
However, Polizzi, 36, told exclusively at the time that doing so “would be such a disaster,” to which her best friend Jenni “JWoww” Farley agreed, “We’d be just wasted behind the bar. I’d be peeing behind the bar. It would be auctioned off again.”
Vaz has said he aims to rid Seaside Heights of its party reputation by introducing more family friendly attractions — starting with the now-flattened lot where Karma once stood.
Realtor Mike Loundy told News12 that the space is fated to become a condominium with rooftop ocean views, a gym and a swimming pool.
