Jersey Shore star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's relationship with his girlfriend Saffire Matos appears to still be going strong despite her calling police on him for alleged domestic violence.
In the past couple of days, Matos has started making posts on social media after going MIA for over a week. Her page went radio silent after Ortiz-Magro's arrest on April 23.
Matos shared a snap of herself having lunch out in Los Angeles. She looked stunning while rocking a top that showed off all her curves. One of the first people to like the account was Ortiz-Magro.
The "like" is interesting given the domestic violence incident. After the arrest, Matos tried to make it appear everything was fine with her and the reality star.
She posted a lengthy statement on her social media telling people not to believe the "false" rumors.
“Ronnie and I are fine there is a lot misleading information floating around there. With anybody who reached out with concern I appreciate it with all my heart, but everything that’s being portrayed out there are not facts," she said.
“I don’t think it’s fair that people are using false accusations to gain attention. Please leave Ron and I alone. You don’t know what someone is going through at the end of the day. Don’t believe everything you hear or read online. I’d appreciate privacy, please. Thanks for all your support,” she ended.
A couple of days later, the news broke that Matos was actually the one who called police on the Jersey Shore star. Law enforcement sources say they saw visible bruises on her when they arrived at the scene.
The officers spoke to both parties and determined Ortiz-Magro was the aggressor. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department took him into custody. He spent hours behind bars before being released after posting a $100,000 bond.
The arrest is a big problem for Ortiz-Magro. He is currently on probation from a 2019 domestic violence arrest. The judge presiding over the case could find him in violation of his probation. As a result, Ortiz-Magro could be sentenced to jail time.
