Ronnie Ortiz-Magro ‘Feels Pretty Horrible’ Arrest
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’s Ronnie Ortiz-Magro "feels pretty horrible" about domestic violence and kidnapping arrest, according to a source. The reality star would just like to concentrate on getting his life back on the right track.
Ronnie and girlfriend Jen Harley have called it quits multiple times since their first meeting in 2017. Most recently they broke up in early September but got back together within two weeks. Both have had a history of turning on one another with Harley physically assaulting him with her car and now Ronnie allegedly running after her with a knife. For the reality star, his post rehab life has not been a smooth transition.
Jersey Shore star, Ronnie, was arrested in Los Angeles on Friday, October 4th for felony domestic violence against Harley. The news was confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department statement, which read that officers responded to a battery in progress at around 2:40 in the morning. The police determined that Ronnie and Jen were involved in some kind of altercation that turned physical after their CBD launch in West Hollywood. The police then claimed that Ronnie was uncooperative and they were forced to taser him. The LAPD did confirm that there was a child on the scene, but she was not harmed.
A source told Us Weekly that the reality star was trying to put himself in a place where he mentally could understand how they get themselves into the bad situation. The source said the arrest was a lot for Ronnie to take in and he feels horrendous for what happened. The whole incident had a really somber effect on the 33-year-old saying, "He feels pretty horrible, but he’s in an OK space." The Jersey Shore star was released from jail after posting his $100,000 bail. Ronnie’s attorney contested the allegations on October 5th, having released a statement saying that the alleged incident was based upon speculation. His attorney, Scott E. Leemon even said that they were performing an investigation of their own and will only speak again on the subject when they have finished it.
Only hours before the reality star spoke out about his hostile relationship, Ronnie acknowledged that he was aware that most people believe that his relationship with Jen Harley was toxic, but he said she balanced him out. He gushed about how he could count on her and their baby, Ariana Sky which to him was his idea of a perfect family. Fans understand that love can be a driving factor in trying to stick out an unhealthy relationship, but most are getting to their wit's end when it comes to supporting his erratic behaviors. MTV has a history of sticking by it's stars though a lot, but when it comes to violent crimes, they have a zero tollerance - which is why Ronnie needs to change his behavior if he wants a future with Jersey Shore.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation airs Thursdays at 9 PM EST on MTV.
