During the early seasons of Jersey Shore, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi Giancola had an on-again, off-again relationship which eventually imploded.

After being involved for a while and having a child together, Ortiz-Magro and Harley’s relationship came to an end. As a result, that left some people wondering, what really happened between Ortiz-Magro and Harley?

Thanks to the popularity of romantic comedies and dramas, some people have come to have a skewed view of what being in a happy relationship means. After all, there are loads of movies where two people who can’t stand each other and fight all the time suddenly realize they’ve been in love all along and belong together.

What Happened Between Ronnie Ortiz-Magro And Jen Harley?

During episodes of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, it became clear that things like accusations of cheating and exchanging insults were a regular feature of Ronnie Ortiz-Magro And Jen Harley’s relationship. In an ideal world, however, things would have calmed down for the couple over time, especially once they welcomed their child into the world.

In June of 2018, Jen Harley was arrested after she “was driving so erratically that three out of her four tires were flat” and “she drove over a median”. While that sounds bad enough, it turned out that things were much worse than they first seemed. After all, Harley was arrested for domestic violence. The reason for that is that after the couple began arguing as she drove, things turned violent.

“Jen hit Ronnie in the face during the argument, and he asked [her to] pull over and let him out of the car. She stopped, and Ronnie tried getting out and got caught in his seatbelt. Jen started driving away, dragging Ronnie. Ariana was in the car at the time in the back seat. … Ronnie’s face was bloodied and bruised, and he’s got a nasty road rash.”

Assuming that the aforementioned events played out as described, it is clear that Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was victimized by Jen Harley that night. However, on another night in October of 2018, Ortiz-Magro was the one who was arrested after he reportedly struck Harley and chased her with a knife. When police arrived at the scene to arrest him, Ortiz-Magro didn’t cooperate which resulted in him being tased.

Amazingly enough, after those two events, things got physical again and that time, evidence of the event was streamed on social media. Around the same time that Ronnie Ortiz-Magro And Jen Harley’s child was born, she started a Livestream in the middle of the couple arguing. During the video, Ortiz-Magro could be heard saying “put your hands on me again” “I dare you”. Then Ortiz-Magro could be seen approaching Harley and evidently, he tried to wrestle her phone from her hands. Whether or not he eventually got hold of the phone, the Livestream ended soon after he tried to retrieve the device.

Thankfully Ronnie Ortiz-Magro And Jen Harley split up in 2019 but since they share a child, they remain a part of each other’s lives. With that in mind, it seems possible that Ortiz-Magro and Harley will be involved in more drama in the future but hopefully that won’t be the case. Fortunately, just like a lot of other stars who've gotten sober, Ortiz-Magro has spoken about cleaning himself up, so hopefully, that is a positive sign of things to come.
