"We have just learned of the new allegations against Ronnie," said Scott Leemon in an interview with TMZ. Leemon also noted that their party needs additional time to further investigate. Leemon is the Jersey Shore star's lawyer.
Initial reports noted that it is unclear whether Harley is involved in the recent incident. Soon after TMZ noted that Harley was in Las Vegas when Ortiz was once again arrested. Ronnie was taking care of their daughter Ariana, while Harley was traveling in another state.
Following the arrest, Ariana is now under the custody of Ortiz's brother, Page Six reported. Meanwhile, Harley was reported to travel back from Vegas for her daughter.
TMZ emphasized that Ortiz was picked up by a white Mercedes when he paid his bail and a camera caught the car Ortiz is riding, leaving the police station.
"We will not make any other statement at this time," said Leemon.
Jersey Shore Star's Previous Issues
The Jersey Star and Harley were involved in several occasions of domestic violence against each other.
In 2019, Ronnie and Harley got into an altercation that escalated to violence, Hollywood Life reported. Ortiz was arrested by the authorities in 2019 because he allegedly punched and slapped Harley outside their Airbnb rental home in Los Angeles.
Furthermore, Ortiz was then reported to chase Harley with a knife, whilst holder his daughter Ariana who was only 18 months old at the time. The authorities were forced to use a taser on Ronnie Ortiz to pursue the arrest. Ortiz was also reported to lock himself inside the house with their daughter during the 2019 incident.
Ortiz emphasized that he "never picked up or threatened" Harley with a knife. He also noted that the altercation stemmed out because he was afraid that Harley would take his daughter away from their Airbnb rental home.
Meanwhile, in May 2019, Harley was also arrested when Ortiz accused her of throwing an ashtray at him during an argument that happened at a Las Vegas nightclub on New Year's Eve.
In 2020, Harley and Ortiz were also reported to be involved in a separate domestic violence incident, with Harley allegedly poking the eyes of Ortiz using an eyeliner.
Ronnie Ortiz was a Bronx native who was known for his role in the television show the Jersey Shore, where he had a relationship with his fellow cast member Samantha Giancola. Giancola, not involved in any of the incidents, has separated with Ortiz in 2014.
