In 2009, fake tans, bump-its, and wild ensembles were all the rage on MTV as the original Jersey Shore made its MTV debut.

The series lasted until 2012 and spawned various spinoffs with its cast members, including the most recent, Family Vacation.

Now, MTV recently announced that yet another version is on its way, but this time it’ll be a reboot and with new stars.

The original personalities stood together on Thursday and came out against this idea, posting a shared statement to their social media pages.

Along with Snooki, JWoww, and Vinny, the message was also shared by Deena Nicole Cortese, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Pauly D and Angelina Pivarnick.

The furious note read: ”As a cast that took a chance with a network in need, we put our most vulnerable moments on television for the world to see. 

"We gave our all over the past 13 years, became a family and continue to open our lives for the world.

"So please understand that we are not in support of a version that will exploit our original show, our hard work and authenticity to gain viewers.”

On Wednesday, MTV revealed plans for Jersey Shore 2.0, a reboot of the popular reality show that premiered more than a decade ago.

"It's been 13 years since the iconic cast of Jersey Shore fist-pumped their way into our lives and stole our hearts," the network said in a release.

The announcement continued: "Now, the time-honored tradition continues with a new group of roommates moving into their own Shore house."
