Jersey Shore: Ronnie Ortiz-Magro describes arrest on seven charges as ‘bunch of unfortunate events’

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro described his arrest on seven charges of violent behavior as ‘a bunch of unfortunate events’ on Thursday’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

In a videochat with pals, Ronnie, 32, seemed abashed by the October fight with girlfriend Jen Harley, 32, that led to the charges—just one in a long line of nasty arguments between the pair.

Mike Sorrentino, 37, DJ Pauly D DelVecchio, 39, and Vinny Guadgnino, 32, called Ronnie while they were having dinner in Las Vegas, asking him if he was doing okay after reading about the fight.

‘I mean, one day at a time,’ Ronnie said. ‘A bunch of unfortunate events that were completely out of my control, and all I can do is stay away from the situation that got me to where that is.’

‘All I can do is move forward and hope that never happens again, and just grow as a person, and grow as a man, and grow as a father,’ he added. ‘That’s all I can really do.’

The ‘physical altercation’ between Ronnie and Jen led to charges of domestic violence, child endangerment, resisting arrest and four other misdemeanors, two of them since dropped.

Jen filed a protective order that kept him from seeing his daughter Ariana Sky, two, for months.

‘In my opinion, he’s got to man up, and he’s got to take care of himself first,’ Mike told his friends over dinner, explaining that he’d been trying to reach out to Ronnie to no avail.

‘Ronnie may be addicted to chaos,’ he considered privately. ‘He’s just got to make good decisions, and those decisions may exclude his baby mama Jen.’

‘They are in a toxic relationship, and he’s got to put up a healthy boundary to live his best life.’

Pauly affirmed that they all knew Ronnie was ‘a great guy, a great father,’ but he never listened to their advice, which basically came down to: break up with Jen.

As they ended their call, the guys asked Ronnie whether he wanted to join them in crashing their friend Angelina Pivarnick’s bachelorette party that weekend in New Orleans.

On the other side of the phone, Ronnie’s taciturn expression suddenly lifted in a smile.

‘I think that… I like it,’ he said, as his pals laughed. ‘I’ll be there. I’ll see you guys soon.’

Earlier in the episode, Angelina, 33, worked out her own issues with Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley, 34.

Jenni had long accused Angelina of having flirted with her man, Zack Carpinello, 24, after an incident in Las Vegas last season.

But when the episode finally aired and she saw it for herself, Jenni realized that Zack had been far more aggressive than she’d realized, and she wanted to apologize to Angelina.

She showed up to Angelina’s bachelorette party in New Orleans and hid in her hotel suite until her friend arrived, nervous about whether she would be forgiven.

When Angelina showed up, Jenni emerged, and Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, 32, yelled, ‘You came!’

Angelina was more wary, wondering if Jenni was there to ‘start drama,’ but Deena Cortese, 33, reassured her that Jenni was there for her, saying, ‘It’s your weekend.’

‘Truthfully, I did not come down here to start drama,’ Jenni agreed. ‘We’re not in a great place, but I don’t want any regrets and I don’t want to say that I wasn’t part of your weekend over something petty. So I’m here for you, with all the bulls*** aside.’

‘That night, what you did, I have no right to be mad at you whatsoever,’ she continued. ‘It’s all on [Zack]. I made him leave the house the day that it aired. I said, ‘You’re an idiot. F***ing chooch.’

She told Angelina that she had gotten angry in large part because no one told her the truth about what happened, including Vinny, who’d been there and seen it all.

Jenni recalled that Vinny told her what happened between Zack and Angelina wasn’t a big deal, but when he spoke about it to Angelina on the episode, he suggested it was more serious.

‘That’s how he should have described it to me,’ Jenni observed. ‘That’s what was so hurtful.’

She apologized for the way she’d lashed out at Angelina after the incident occurred.

‘At the end of the day, I come off like a psychotic person… fighting a battle that should have never been fought over something that never existed,’ Jenni admitted. ‘And all [Vinny] had to do was simply check me and be like, ”Here’s what I saw.” He never did that.’

She said that going forward, she would be taking her relationship with Zack ‘one day at a time,’ while Angelina confessed that she should have thought more about Jenni’s feelings.

While the two of them made up, Deena and Snooki left to dance and drink in the French Quarter, turning into what Jenni called ‘hot mess expresses.’

After partying with them, she flew home to be with her kids, but would return later that week.

Around 4 am, Snooki and Deena decided to go back to their hotel, which annoyed Angelina, who’d wanted to stay out later.

‘Why do you have the f***ing camera on me?’ she screamed at producers. ‘Put it down for like five minutes. I don’t want to be filmed. I wanna go home. I’m gonna f***ing go home. Put it down, enough!’

She blocked the camera with her hand so she and the girls couldn’t be seen.

‘I’m done,’ she continued. ‘I don’t give a f***. I told you turn it off. Turn the other one off too. I’m done. This is my f***ing week. I’m going home! I just want to f***ing walk away for two seconds. I can’t even do that!’

In the morning, Snooki woke Angelina with a glass of champagne, and she admitted she’d been ‘an a**hole.’

The girls poured onto a party bus, talking about Jenni and how she’d felt let down by Vinny.

Deena read Vinny’s message to Jenni in a recent group chat, which said, ‘I really don’t know what you want from me… I told you what happened, I told you what I saw… If you don’t get that at this point, then I don’t know what to tell you.’

In Vegas, Mike, Pauly and Vinny decided to crash Angelina’s bachelorette party in New Orleans.

Vinny discussed his beef with Jenni with the guys, telling the cameras that trying to help his friend ‘had all backfired on me. I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t.’

‘I guess no one’s to blame except me,’ Vinny said, as Pauly remembered that his pal had gotten Ronnie in trouble with his girlfriend Sammi Giancola, 33, a long time ago.

‘There’s one common denominator in all the problems that has happened throughout the years, and that’s Vinny,’ he noted, blaming Vinny for the group’s past pink-eye, too.

In New Orleans, the guys tried to stay incognito so the girls didn’t hear that they were there.

Pauly reserved their room at the hotel under the alias Vincent Chase, the character played by Adrian Grenier on HBO’s Entourage.

The guys then called the girls, pretending they were still in Vegas while asking where they were, but the girls said, ‘We’re having a girls’ trip! No boys allowed!’ and hung up.

Mike, Pauly and Vinny knew that the trio was gambling, and there was a casino at their hotel, so they snuck down to find them, hoodies pulled in tight around their faces.

As the girls drank on, the guys sneaked onto a float cruising the slot machines and rolled up to their party, though their pals’ reaction was not shown.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will return next week on the E! network.
