Criticism of stereotypes

Jerseylicious has been criticized by the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for its portrayals of crude 'Jersey Shore' stereotypes about Italian Americans. According to the ONE VOICE website, Jerseylicious and other related programs including Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Mob Wives, My Big Friggin' Wedding, Carfellows and Married a Mobster "have replaced fictitious characters with real low lifes, buffoons, carfoni and bimbos in the proliferation of reality shows" and turned anti-Italianism into "a global business."

International broadcasts

Seasons 1-3 of the show aired on the Slovak TV WAU. In the United Kingdom, the show aired on ITVBe. Reruns of the show air also on E!.
