It appears as though Ronnie Ortiz-Magro lashed out at Jen Harley, posting private text messages on his Instagram Story amid their on-again, off-again relationship.
The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star, 34, shared screenshots of texts on Thursday, December 12, but did not specify who they were from. “Knows she’s crying and decides getting drunk with a sugar daddy is better,” he wrote of one exchange, adding two laugh-cry emojis.
In another post, he asked, “Is it legal to have sexual activities for money?!? The question is.. where’s [sic] was the son? Lmaooo.” The comment accompanied a text that detailed a hookup.
Ortiz-Magro then posted a lengthy message that seemingly called out Harley, 32. “I refuse to sit back anymore, and let a mentally unstable person ruin my name, take my daughter, try to take my freedom with lies,” he wrote. “I am standing up for myself & my daughter [Ariana] and everyone else this person has been trying to hurt over the last week. Upset because I’ve moved on with my life. I refuse to be bullied!!! I am a great father, an amazing person!”
The reality star claimed he has “been harassed” for two weeks, adding: “Enough is enough! Let’s [sic] the world know the truth!!”
Ortiz-Magro dredged up some drama from his relationship with Harley too. “All I have ever done is provide for my family, and try to give a life to them I never had,” he noted. “I won’t let a sick person used [sic] the fact that I admitted to being depressed and emotionally broken to a point I needed help! It wasn’t because of addiction it was because being dragged by a car, beat to death with my chain before [Mike Sorrentino’s] court date, having a ashtray thrown at my Face!! I am choosing to take my life back! Some people just don’t want to give it back, they need that control Of abuse! Well not anymore!!!”
The MTV star claimed that he “didn’t even want to stoop to this pathetic level of instability.” However, he alleged that he has been subjected to “emotional abuse” and “mental control.”
He concluded: “I’m sticking up for myself, my daughter and the people in my life that this mentally unstable person has been harassing & threatening!! #LetmeMoveOn.”
Us Weekly reported in October that Ortiz-Magro and Harley were “broken up for good” after his arrest on suspicion of felony domestic violence and kidnapping following a physical altercation with her. He pleaded not guilty to seven misdemeanors in November.
