What did Angelina Pivarnick's private investigator report?
According to OK Magazine, details of Vinny Tortorella's alleged affair were uncovered by a private investigator hired by Angelina Pivarnick.
The investigator, John Downey, a retired NYC Police Department sergeant with Stallion Security and Investigations, began working on the case in November 2024. The investigation was prompted by a request from Pivarnick’s agent, Tony, to monitor Tortorella’s activities while Pivarnick was away filming for her show.

The surveillance began on November 16, 2024, when Downey reported that Tortorella was driving a white Porsche SUV with New Jersey plates.
The investigator tracked him to Staten Island before following him to Tao Uptown, a popular restaurant and nightclub in New York City, at 10.45 pm.
There, Downey observed Tortorella with an unidentified blonde woman. After leaving the club around midnight, Tortorella accompanied the woman to her apartment, where they stayed together until around 2.45 am.
When Pivarnick asked for an update, Downey told her that Tortorella was with the "woman".
He added that Tortorella had told Pivarnick he was “out with his boys".
Downey, feeling that Pivarnick had been deceived, confirmed the situation, saying, "[I am] here to confirm that he was with a girl while she was away filming."
