Ronnie has been part of the Jersey Shore cast since the show’s premiere, in 2009.

The MTV star was arrested last month, after his girlfriend called the police amid a domestic episode. Authorities arrived on the scene to find visible bruises on Ronnie’s girlfriend, Saffire Matos. The police officers determined that Ronnie was the aggressor, after questioning both parties.

The L.A. City Attorney’s Office announce that they would not be filing  charges against the reality star for the incident, last week. Prosecutors instead asked the court to find him in violation of his probation. Ronnie remains on a 3 year probation period after being arrested for domestic violence in 2019. The MTV personality’s lawyer cut a deal which allowed his client to dodge jail time, and Ronnie agreed to pay several fines and stay out of trouble for three years. Ronnie was facing a potential five year prison stint for the 2019 incident.
