Ronnie Ortiz-Magro had his day in court on Friday in Los Angeles — the city where he was arrested just one month ago for getting into a physical altercation with baby mama Jen Harley.
According to Radar Online, the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. Additionally, while Jen was not present for the hearing, the city attorney requested that a temporary protective order be granted for Jen and Jen and Ronnie’s daughter Ariana, which was approved by the judge.
As The Ashley previously told you, Ronnie was arrested October 4 after getting into an altercation with Jen at a Los Angeles-area Airbnb the couple was staying at. Ronnie was arrested after Jen claimed he struck her and then chased her with a knife while he was holding their daughter. Ronnie went on to lock himself and Ariana in the home, ultimately earning himself charges for kidnapping as well as felony domestic violence. (Those charges were eventually dropped.)
Following the October altercation, the Los Angeles Police Department issued an Emergency Protective Order against Ronnie, requiring that he stay 100 yards away from Jen. The order expired October 11.
Three weeks ago, Ronnie’s kidnapping charge was removed and days later, the reality star received more good news when he learned he would not face any felony charges for the incident either. He was, however, charged with seven misdemeanors, according to TMZ — one count of domestic violence, one count of brandishing a weapon, one count of child endangerment, one count of criminal threats, one count of false imprisonment (of Jen), and two counts of resisting arrest.
Ronnie is scheduled to return to court on November 12. He faces up to six years in jail for his alleged crimes.

Oh Ronnie grow up and leave Jen alone .seems like every female you get in contact with turns out not so good..
The picture is hilarious!! Ron looks like a big oaf on steroids with fake teeth and Jen looks like that pic of squidward when he’s supposed to be pretty. LOL!
It’s sad Ron can’t even have supervised visitations, even at a center.
Why was Jen charged with anything like this when she gave Ronnie a black eye or when she dragged him with the car while baby sat in the back seat or when she threw the ash tray at his nose, Or when Jen and her friend jumped Ronnie. Jen is a drunk bitch and a bad mother.
I wonder if he will go to jail for any of these?
FREE RON!
I dont think hes any threat to his daughter..sad he cant see her
Such a toxic relationship to begin with. Both of them are so incredibly immature. Ron needs to completely stop drinking and smoking. Go to rehab and get mental help for his anger issues. He needs to grow up.
They BOTH very much involved her in this fight. It was 2am. Why wasn’t she in her crib asleep??
That headline was confusing. But read it in a Jersey accent and it works. Lol
He was in court today and his next court date is Tues? That seems quick.
Ronnie looking like a hot dog overcooked in the microwave. Get out of the sun, drink some water and moisturize, bro.
Serious question. Why didn’t amber get charged with anything like this?
Maybe because in Ronnie’s case there were witnesses? Or maybe because he locked himself up with the baby and the police had to tase him so perhaps they perceived it like it was worse but attacking your partner (who has your kid in his arms) with a machete seems pretty severe to me. Perhaps Indiana law is a joke idk
Ronnie Ordered “Not to Have No Contact” with Jen or Their Daughter. Who wrote this? LOL! You’re fired.
“Not to have no contact” means he needs to have contact…
