Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's avoiding jail after copping a plea deal in his domestic violence case ... but he's got a long to-do list to put the case behind him for good.
The "Jersey Shore" star pled no contest to 1 count of domestic battery and 1 count of resisting arrest. No jail time for Ronnie, but he's been placed on 36 months probation and must also do 30 days of community labor in Nevada (where he lives) and donate $20k in one lump sum to the Jewish Family Services of L.A., a battered women's shelter.
It doesn't end there ... Ronnie also has to complete a 52-week domestic violence program at a court-approved agency in Nevada. He's also been ordered to only have peaceful contact with Jen Harley and obey the 3-year protective order issued in the case.
As you know ... Ortiz-Magro was initially busted for kidnapping back in October 2019 after allegedly striking Jen, wielding a knife, taking their daughter from her and then locking himself inside an Airbnb they were renting in L.A.
When cops arrived, Ronnie allegedly refused to come out so they had to bust in and tase him before placing him under arrest.
Harley allegedly suffered bruises and scrapes in the altercation, and a neighbor's surveillance footage shows her looking scared as she held Ariana and hid behind a car.
Ronnie denied the allegations, but he was still facing 7 misdemeanor charges -- domestic violence, child endangerment, brandishing a weapon, criminal threats, false imprisonment, and 2 counts of resisting arrest. But, this is now all behind him ... as long as he keeps his nose clean.
Pauly D has set the Internet ablaze, with a new look that is slick, tight and controversial.
The "Jersey Shore" star made good use of his time in self-quarantine, by making regular appointments with his mirror and carefully crafting a beard/mustache.
For the most part, it's getting good reviews, with exceptions.
Gotta say ... there's a lot of butchery going on, especially with guys who are trying to trim their facial hair and what's above ... and below. But, Pauly's clearly got it down.
What he should do is a tutorial for folks in Atlanta, so they can do it themselves. We gotta stay safe, people. If we don't, we're gonna go back inside for way longer, and the misery will be way worse.
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro has won a battle in his domestic violence case but there's still a full war to settle.
Prosecutors dropped 2 charges against the 'Jersey Shore' star in his domestic violence case with Jen Harley. Ronnie was arrested last October after an explosive fight at their Airbnb in L.A., and faced 7 charges. Now, according to docs obtained by TMZ, prosecutors asked the judge to drop 2 of those charges -- brandishing a weapon and criminal threats.
The judge has already signed off on the prosecutor's request.
A rep for the City Attorney's Office tells us they amended the complaint based on the evidence. Ronnie's attorney, Scott Leemon, tells us, "The facts and circumstances relating to the arrest and charging of Ronnie were exaggerated and actually incorrect."
He went on to say, "The City’s Attorney agreed with us and dismissed 2 of the pending charges against Ronnie. They agreed that these allegations were baseless and made up. We are hoping further investigation will yield similar results."
As we reported ... Jen alleged she suffered bruises and scrapes during an altercation with Ronnie that resulted in cops busting through the door and Tasing him before slapping cuffs on him and wheeling him out on a gurney.
He later pled not guilty to 7 misdemeanors -- domestic violence, child endangerment, brandishing a weapon, criminal threats, false imprisonment [of Jen] and 2 counts of resisting arrest. It's now down to 5 misdemeanors.
The news comes less than a month after cops in Vegas recommended Jen be charged for allegedly attacking Ronnie with eyeliner. Prosecutors have yet to make a decision in that case.
Vinny from "Jersey Shore" sure is a tease, but luckily for the ladies -- and fellas -- out there, he aims to please ... 'cause he's returning to his Chippendales gig to quench everyone's thirst.
The self-proclaimed Keto Guido will embark on a 7-week engagement beginning April 24 through June 7 at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino. He'll perform 3 nights a week during that run ... and it's easy to see why they've scheduled him for multiple nights a week.
The self-proclaimed Keto Guido has been great for Chippendales' bottom line after not one but TWO sold-out engagements in 2019. Since his first performance, Chippendales has seen huge demand for him to return.
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's baby mama may be getting anything but easy, breezy or beautiful in her alleged eyeliner attack ... 'cause cops want prosecutors to go nail her.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops in Las Vegas have completed their investigation and are recommending Jen Harley get slapped with at least 1 count of misdemeanor battery/domestic violence.
We're told, as of right now, no decision has been made whether prosecutors will take up the recommendation.
TMZ broke the story ... Ronnie claimed in docs Jen attacked him last month by trying to poke him in the eye with eyeliner she said she found in the trash. He claimed she saw it as proof he was cheating on her.
Not long after, Ronnie got an emergency protective order which stays in effect through February 25. The troubled on-again, off-again couple decided to later put their Vegas crib on the market, but they claimed their tumultuous relationship had nothing to do with their decision to sell the house.
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino says he's making sure his tax woes are behind him ... by leaving things to the professionals.
The Sitch was at LAX Wednesday night with fellow 'Jersey Shore' star Deena -- who was all masked up to protect from the coronavirus -- when he got asked about his first tax season since getting out of prison.
Mike says everything is going to be up-to-date this time around -- clearly, he's not going to risk landing behind bars again for tax evasion.
They both agree they have Ronnie's back no matter what and are rooting for him, and Mike adds ... "The comeback is greater than the setback."
As we've reported ... Ronnie and Jen are mixed up in a nasty domestic violence case, but he didn't let it keep him down last weekend in Miami, where he was spotted leaving the club at 6 AM with 2 hot chicks.
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro knows that the early bird gets the worm -- and in this case, it seems he snagged two.
The "Jersey Shore" star was spotted Sunday morning leaving E11EVEN Miami at the ass crack of dawn around 6 AM ET. Looks like he was raging the night away with some good company -- a couple of baddies were kinda flanking him as he made his way out of the club.
No PDA here, but all signs point to these two lovely ladies rolling with our man. He's leading the way, and they're all giddy following close behind ... casting their gaze on him.
It's a good sign for sure to see Ronnie moving on and away from his on-again, off-again girlfriend and baby mama, Jen Harley, who recently got into another alleged snag with her ex. Ronnie claims she attacked him with eyeliner ... just the latest episode between them.
He bounced back from that run-in with a nice surprise on the streets not too long after the Jen incident, getting flashed by a spunky chick with even spunkier ... fuhgeddaboudit.
Meanwhile, we've learned Jen's dipping her toe into the real estate biz. Just so long as it keeps her out of the Ronnie biz, more power to her. Be good, you two!
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's baby mama, Jen Harley, is turning her passion into a full-time gig ... because she's officially licensed to sell houses!!!
Jen just got her real estate license in Nevada, according to legal docs obtained by TMZ, and she's joining the team at Realty One Group in Las Vegas.
Sources close to Jen tell TMZ ... she caught the real estate bug after making some extra cash helping agents flip her own homes, and decided she wanted to take real estate classes and pursue a career in the biz.
Jen's been around the game for a while ... we're told she's owned 6 homes in her life and got a thrill out of buying and selling each property. Now she can pocket some commissions!!!
In addition to being licensed in Nevada, we're told Jen wants to eventually get a license in Cali, and she has a house in escrow in Florida she's hoping to turn into an Airbnb.
As you know ... Ronnie and Jen are selling their Las Vegas home after listing it 3 months ago. Jen only got her real estate license in January, so she didn't land that listing.
Probably for the best, considering their track record.
JWoww's ex-husband, Roger Mathews, is getting back on the horse -- he's dating again and it's a pretty smooth ride, 'cause his new girl is smoking hot!!!
Our sources tell us Roger's new lady friend's name is Danielle Miele ... he's been taking things slow, but they're officially an item. Danielle's a hairdresser and we're told she wants to stay out of the limelight -- so the exact opposite of Roger's reality star ex.
Roger and Danielle first met back in May while at a concert in Jersey. We're told he was going through a tough time, and Danielle was in the right place at the right time. Y'know how that goes, right fellas?!?
Ronnie Ortiz-Magrois down and out about being single -- meaning he looked DOWN when a random woman took OUT her boobs to flash him in Hollywood!!! Yeah, he's doing fine.
The embattled "Jersey Shore" star looked like a kid in a candy store Monday when a woman outside The Highlight Room Bar treated him to a titillating show. It's unclear who the woman is, but it's crystal clear she's a HUGE fan.
They all laughed it up afterward. Ronnie and his all-female group of friends later hopped into 2 limos, which drove them to Universal Studios. Fun times for sure, and a massive contrast to Ronnie's drama-filled life with his ex.
TMZ broke the story ... Ronnie has no idea why Jen Harley allegedly snooped around his house and then attacked him with an eyeliner pencil. Ron told cops Jen went ballistic after finding a woman's makeup in his trash.
It's a lock Jen won't applaud Ron's topless adventure.
10:05 AM PT -- 1/16 -- According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Ronnie says it was eyeliner that Jen found in the trash, and that's what she used to try to poke him in the eye. He also attached a photo of his alleged injuries from the incident. The judge ordered Jen to stay 100 yards away from Ronnie.
UPDATE
UPDATE
6:30 PM PT -- Ronnie’s attorneys, Scott Leemon and Leonard Levine, tell TMZ … a judge granted Ronnie an emergency order for protection against domestic violence, and the order is in effect through February 25. Leemon also tells us..."Regrettably, on Saturday night, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was, again, the victim of a domestic violence incident at the hands of Jennifer Harley. At that time, Ms. Harley entered his home while he was sleeping and started viciously assaulting him."
UPDATE
Jen’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, tells TMZ … “Contact that Ronnie Ortiz had with Jen Harley recently was in violation of the restraining order in effect against him. We have not received any restraining order against her, and if Jenn does get served with one, we will oppose it. Jenn just wants to raise her baby in peace.”
Ronnie Ortiz-Magrohas filed for legal protection against his baby mama,Jen Harley, after she allegedly got violent at the "Jersey Shore" star's Las Vegas home.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Ronnie called cops around 6 PM Saturday claiming Jen struck him in the face. When officers arrived, Ron told them he came home from a photoshoot to take a nap and was woken up by an enraged Harley, who accused him of cheating after finding another woman's makeup in the trash.
We're told Jen got physical, trying to poke Ronnie in the eye and striking him in the face multiple times. Our sources say Ronnie had cuts and bruising on his face and swelling under his right eye.
By the time officers got to Ronnie's house, Jen had left -- she has not been arrested -- and the incident is still under investigation. As a result of the alleged attack, Ronnie went to court and got a temporary restraining order against Harley.
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is not willing to dance for Chippendales despite his rock-hard abs and background as a stripper ... Sitch says the male revue can't afford him!!!
We got the "Jersey Shore" star and ex-con in New York City, and our photog asked Mike if he's ever going to follow Vinny Guadagnino's lead and join the famous production in Vegas.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Easy to see why folks think Situation and Chippendales are a match made in heaven ... the reality star is all about his abs.
There's also some history between the two ... Sitch judged a Chippendales competition back in October, but couldn't be coaxed into taking off his shirt.
And, there's this ... "Jersey Shore" alums have a history of bringing in huge box office numbers at Chippendales. Vinny was such a smashing success last year, they brought him back for an extra 6 weeks.
Situation isn't shutting the door on a potential run at Chippendales ... but he's channeling Cuba Gooding Jr.'s character in "Jerry Maguire" and telling Chippendales to show him the moola.
When Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was about to join the reality TV world on "Jersey Shore," he prepared in a very interesting way ... by smelling what The Rock was cooking.
Mike and his wife, Lauren, were guests on the Hollywood Pipeline Podcast with Dax Holt & Adam Glyn ... and he made a huge reveal. He tells them "The Situation" isn't his normal personality -- it's an amped-up version inspired by his love for wrestling ... specifically, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
The Sitch says he wanted to bring something new to the hit MTV series, and while he's obviously a character on his own ... he wanted to make himself "larger than life." Hence -- the nickname, the catchphrases, the abs ... and talking about himself in the third person.
Gotta say, it worked pretty well, and Mike sold it as the genuine article ... though ya gotta think he really had some GTL experience.
Funny part is, Mike says he ran into The Rock once and got some kudos from the wrestling star for his reality TV performance ... and the master didn't even know he was speaking to his pupil.
Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino and his wife just plunked down some serious dough on a home that's built for a massive family.
The 'Jersey Shore' star and his wife, Lauren, are the proud new owners of a 4-story mansion in Jersey. The cost? A whopping $1.8 million. The place is seriously worth every penny though.
It's a 7-bed, 10-bath pad which has all the bells and whistles of luxury. It features an elevator shaft, a top floor observation deck, vaulted ceilings, a massive basement, a wet bar, a hot tub, a fireplace, a 4-car garage and great views of luscious greenery outside.
No gym or tanning rooms as far as we can tell, but there's plenty of space to pop 'em in afterward if Mike and Lauren are so inclined. The L's good though ... it comes with a washer and dryer.
With all that room, you gotta imagine the newlyweds have babies on the brain ... they've been very open about wanting to start a family.
Now that Mike's home for good after doing some time behind bars, it looks like it might be full steam ahead with a palace like this locked in. Congrats on the buy!!!
No disrespect to New Jersey or its famous shore, but Snooki wants a MUCH better life for her 3 kids, which is why she's swearing off all things 'Jersey Shore' ... for good.
Fresh off announcing she's retiring from the 'JS' game, Snooki touched down at LAX Thursday, and made it clear she has no second thoughts. She told a photog she's looking forward, not back, purely because it's what's best for her family.
When the pap suggested a possible spin-off could be in the works -- Snooki shot that down instantly ... and you gotta see the look on her face when she did it.
Remember, she complained during last season about 'JS' keeping her away from her husband, daughter and 2 sons ... so maybe she'd be down for a show focused on her family.
Not a chance! As Snooks put it, she's not trying to see her kids turn into the kinda "degenerate" she was on TV. Translation: Snooki Nicole's come a loooong way from being that chick who stumbled drunk on beaches, and got brutally knocked out in bars.
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is dropping some heinous, and unproven, accusations against his baby mama -- posting texts he claims demonstrate she can't handle being a mother.
The "Jersey Shore" star is ranting on Instagram ... alleging Jen Harley has abandoned their 20-month-old daughter, Ariana, by dumping her off with friends while she's off "getting drunk with a sugar daddy."
He's offering no evidence of that, and, let's be honest, even if his claim is true -- sounds like he's describing a standard babysitting situation.
Anyway, Ronnie's rant included texts he claims show Jen is ignoring their child while Jen's in another state and he alleges she refuses to return home to care for Ariana.
The texts appear to show friends are reaching out to Ronnie for help, but he replies he can't because legally, he's not allowed to see Ariana. Jen got full custody in the wake of their domestic incidentback in October, and he's been ordered to stay away from Jen and their child.
