"Just want to set the record straight. I'm single and I'm not going to get married!"
About this Quote
The blunt double-statement - “I’m single” and “I’m not going to get married” - does two jobs. First, it blocks the familiar narrative escalation: not just “not engaged,” but not even entertaining the next plot point. Second, it signals fatigue with the way women in the public eye get default-assigned a romantic endpoint. Marriage here isn’t merely a personal choice; it’s a genre expectation.
Polizzi’s persona, built in the reality-TV era where authenticity is both currency and performance, makes the line land with a specific kind of punch. It’s casual, slightly combative, and designed to travel as a pull quote. The intent is control: to reclaim authorship over her own timeline. The subtext is sharper: you don’t get to draft my future for me, and I’m not auditioning for respectability by promising a ring.
There’s also a protective edge. Declaring “not going to get married” isn’t just about dodging paparazzi questions; it’s about setting a boundary with fans, producers, and commentators who benefit when her personal life stays perpetually “developing.”
