Snooki has learned a valuable lesson ... from Justin Bieber -- if you don't want to end up the object of public scorn and ridicule ... make sure your depositions AREN'T VIDEOTAPED.
According to new docs in her ongoing perfume lawsuit , Snooki has asked for her upcoming deposition NOT to be recorded -- now that the embarrassing Bieber precedent has been set.
TMZ got the video showing Bieber making a complete ass out of himself last month in his photog-beating deposition . Bieber tried painfully hard to look cool and rebellious, but ended up sounding like an arrogant, inarticulate, self-entitled goofball ... for all the world to see.
A judge will probably make the final decision, and if he cares at all about entertainment value, he'll let the cameras roll.
