full size Snooki's Ex-Boyfriend Emilio Antonio Shows Up at Her Tanning Lotion Promotion in L.A

When news broke that nude photos of Snooki had been leaked, we suspected one of the meatball mama’s ex-boyfriends. After all, her rep told us, “Clearly these are old and personal photos that were not meant for the public. It's a shame someone decided to leak them for obvious personal gain." Who could fit that profile more perfectly than Snooki’s fame-seeking, muscle-y ex Emilio Masella?

But Emilio is, predictably, shouting his innocence from the tabloid rooftops. Emilio tells TMZ that, not only is he not responsible for leaking the X-rated photos, but he’s never even seen them before.

“I honestly don’t care,” says the spiky-haired guido. “I’m trying to get rid of trash in my life … I’m done with her and moving on with my own career.” We can only guess at what this so-called career might be, since his own website’s biography simply tells the tale of how Emilio lost 100 pounds recently. But he’s available for bookings!

We would remind Emilio that, just three months ago, he told RadarOnline that he hoped Snooki wasn’t really pregnant, saying, “I want a future with her.”

We don’t know if we trust Emilio. After all, Emilio has done things to hurt Snooki in the past (like telling TMZ that he hopes she has a miscarriage) and he also dated Snooki’s ex-castmate Angelina, who was allegedly in the set of leaked photos as well. However, we also in a way hope that he is telling the truth. We hope no one is purposely leaking out photos of Snooki in order to hurt her, and that these pics just surfaced on accident.
