'Jersey Shore' Star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's Friends Fear He's Spiraling 'Out Of Control' Amid Domestic Violence Arrest

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro’s close friends are concerned for his well-being after his latest arrest for domestic violence. 

Sources close to the reality star RadarOnline.com, “Ronnie has been out of control for a little bit. His friends are worried about the decisions he is making.” 

“He doesn’t know how to stop the partying. And that leads to him losing it,” the insider added. We're told those close to the Jersey Shore star are concerned for him and hope he gets the help he needs. 

Close friends believe Ortiz-Magro's "ego is leading him down a dark path." As RadarOnline.com previously reported, on Thursday, the reality star was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. He was booked for felony domestic violence. 

Sources tell RadarOnline.com, Ortiz-Magro was involved in an altercation with an "intimate partner" who claimed she had injuries as a result of his actions. 

Ortiz-Magro's lawyer spoke out after the news broke saying, "We have just learned of the new allegations against Ronnie and need some additional time to further investigate. As such, we will not be making any other statements at this time.” 

At the moment, Ortiz-Magro is supposed to stay out of trouble and avoid getting arrested. Per his plea deal, he avoided being sentenced to jail by agreeing to keep his nose clean for three years. 

His original arrest stemmed from a domestic violence incident involving his ex-girlfriend, Jen Harley. During the incident, Ortiz-Magro chased his then-GF around a rented home while holding a knife. To make matters worse, he was carrying their baby girl Ariana Sky in his arms. 

Ortiz-Magro was released on a $100,000 bond. He has yet to comment on the matter publicly.
