Jersey Shore

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro suffered a nasty black eye after his baby mama allegedly hit him with a phone and punched him in the face, and this is a DIFFERENT incident from the one last week where cops came rushing to his home.

TMZ broke the story ... cops were called to the 'Jersey Shore' star's Vegas home Thursday night for a custody dispute over the couple's 6-month-old daughter. Law enforcement sources tell us during their visit, Ronnie told cops about Jen's history of violence toward him.

Now we find out ... this was just the latest incident of strife and violence. Back on October 5, Ronnie was allegedly brutalized by Jen ... he says she punched him and struck him in the head with a phone.

As we reported ... Ronnie posted a pic of his injuries on Instagram, but never disclosed what caused the shiner.

We're told officers in Vegas informed Ronnie he needed to file a police report in New Jersey -- where the alleged attack went down -- if he wanted Jen arrested. Sources close to Ronnie say he has not reported the incident ... at least not yet.

9:00 AM PT -- We just got these photos of Ronnie and Jen all over each other during her birthday weekend. The co-dependent couple is clearly back together, despite the domestic violence.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley seem like they're together again, despite black eyes and police reports.

Ronnie and Jen are both in Florida this weekend, and both have both posted videos though none of them show the 2 together. This is Jen's birthday weekend.

As you know ... their relationship has been downright violent at times. She showed up last week at his home, demanding to see their daughter ... just days after Ronnie posted a pic of a shiner around his eye.

Cops are getting to know Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley by their first names, because they had to come out again Thursday night to break up an escalating fight over child custody.

Jen showed up at Ronnie's home to pick up 6-month-old Ariana Sky, only to be blocked at the front door by him and his aunt. The aunt went HAM, screaming that her only motive for creating all the drama was money. She also called Jen a whore.

This whole thing erupted after the former "Jersey Shore" star posted a video calling Jen out for leaving their baby and her 12-year-old son home alone so she could go out with her friends and get drunk. It appears after Ronnie posted that video, Jen went to his house to get the baby.

Ronnie posted and deleted a screenshot of Jen asking for $20k for publicly humiliating her.

As we reported, Jen allegedly attacked Ronnie Wednesday ... after which he posted a photo of a shiner around his eye. He didn't say specifically Jen was the culprit, but it's not hard to read between the lines.

Check out the video ... you hear Ronnie getting smacked as she accuses him of killing her dog.

"Jersey Shore" star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro got a nasty shiner and it appears he's blaming it on his baby mama, Jen Harley.

Ortiz-Magro posted the close-up of his black eye with the caption, "Sorry for lying to my friends and family, sometimes u love people so much your willing to lie and the hurt the people that love u the most to protect."

The message is clear, Ronnie's been told by friends and family to break things off with Jen -- but he didn't listen -- and things apparently got violent.

TMZ broke the story ... Harley was arrested in June after she allegedly dragged him with their Mercedes. They also had a violent encounter at a Vegas hotel when Ronnie was filming for "Jersey Shore."

For a guy who's going to prison, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's got a lot to smile about because he won't be locked up until next year ... TMZ has learned.

According to docs filed Monday ... Sitch must surrender to the Bureau of Prisons no sooner than January 15, 2019. As we told you, Mike was sentenced to 8 months in the federal pen for tax evasion -- but the surrender date means he'll get to enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year with his "Jersey Shore" friends and fam.

And remember, Mike's getting married to his fiancee, Lauren Pesce, next month ... so, he can even squeeze in a honeymoon before starting his prison life.

Here's to about 3 more months of GTL'in. Then it'll pretty much be just G & L, for a while.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is planning on a life of luxury when he gets home from prison ... Exhibit A -- his wedding registry.

The Situation is marrying college sweetheart Lauren Pesce, November 1 (he has 60 days to turn himself in) and they're asking friends and family to spare no expense when it comes to wedding gifts.

Only the best for Mike when he's done with his 8-month sentence for tax evasion ... the Sorrentinos want a $550 blender, $500 juicer, $380 dutch oven, $375 knife set and $180 pasta press ... 'cause he'll be tired of those cheap prison meals by the time he's a free man again.

The Sitch is probably dreading his jail cot ... but there's light at the end of the tunnel, because he and Lauren are asking for a $673 down comforter and $379 ivory sheepskin rug. Super comfy.

No more mopping floors when he gets home either ... they want a $300 robot to mop and a $400 robot to vacuum.

And, if you splurge on the $150 flatware sets (they want 3), don't expect the newlyweds to use any of it to prepare an avocado ... no, they need a special tool for those pesky fruits.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's pals from 'Jersey Shore' aren't going to leave him hanging now that he's been sentenced to hard time.

JWoww, Pauly D, Ronnie, Vinnie, Angelina, Deena and Snooki all showed up at Sitch's apartment in Long Branch, NJ Saturday to show him some love and support ... just like they did Friday outside the courthouse in Newark.

We got video of the cast -- sans Mike -- leaving the complex to go their separate ways ... but not before a round of hugs. Although ... JWoww says they won't be apart for long.

As we reported ... The Situation was sentenced to 8 months in prison in his tax evasion case, along with 2 years of supervised release. His attorney told us, "Mike accepts the Court's judgment. He is looking forward to marrying his college sweetheart, Lauren Pesce, next month and moving forward together after he serves his sentence."

Situation's brother, Marc -- who was also indicted at the same time on tax fraud charges -- was sentenced to 2 years and a $75k fine.

Mike responded to the sentencing on social media, saying they're happy to put this behind him.

6:41 PM PT -- The Sitch responded to his sentencing on social media, saying ... "We are very happy to put this behind us. Thank you So much for all the Love & Support."

10:43 AM PT -- Situation was sentenced to 8 months behind bars and two years of supervised release. His attorney, Henry Klingeman, tells TMZ, "Mike accepts the Court's judgment. He is looking forward to marrying his college sweetheart, Lauren Pesce, next month and moving forward together after he serves his sentence."

Mike looked relaxed on his way out of court, holding Lauren's hand and flashing a peace sign to the group gathered outside.

9:45 AM PT -- Situation's brother, Marc -- who was also indicted at the same time on tax fraud charges -- has just been sentenced to 2 years and a $75k fine.

It's D-Day for Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino -- who just arrived at federal court in Newark, NJ to find out if he's going to prison for evading his taxes -- and he's got the whole 'Jersey Shore' crew with him.

The 'Jersey Shore' star is set to be sentenced Friday for tax evasion. As we reported, Sitch pled guilty way back in January. He could be looking at a max of 5 years in prison, but even prosecutors have been pushing for the judge to go easy on him.

Pauly D, Ronnie, JWoww, Vinnie, Snooki and Deena were all at the courthouse bright and early to show some love to their friend.

Since entering his plea, Mike got the court's approval to travel to Florida and Nevada to shoot the 'Jersey Shore' reunion.

Mike's sentencing was originally scheduled for April 25, but his lawyer was able to buy him more time while resubmitting docs as part of his plea deal.

His sentence should be handed down shortly. Stay tuned ...

You gotta give it up to Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley for going to hell and back without losing their sense of humor.

Ronnie and his baby mama have been through more ups and downs than every boardwalk roller coaster on the Jersey Shore, but that didn't stop them from poking fun at their problems during a family stroll through Central Park.

Check out Jen's shirt ... she's sending a clear message with the laundry portion of Ronnie's GTL routine.

It's true ... Ronnie and Jen could give anyone a run for their money when it comes to relationship issues.

Quick recap of their last few months ... Jen allegedly dragged Ronnie with a car, resulting in a bloody mess and a domestic violence arrest. But, like they always do, Ronnie and Jen kissed and made up.

Laughter really heals all wounds.

9/28 -- Roger posted a video vowing to win his wife back.

The next season of 'Jersey Shore' just got real interesting ... JWoww is divorcing her husband, Roger Mathews ... TMZ has confirmed.

JWoww -- aka Jenni Farley -- filed docs in Ocean County, NJ 2 weeks ago. The split comes just shy of the couple's third anniversary. She cites irreconcilable differences, and says their marriage has been on the rocks for at least 6 months.

Roger occasionally appeared on episodes of the original 'JS' run, but he has not been involved with the most recent tapings of the rebooted version of the show ... "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation."

It's unclear what's at the center of their marital strife -- but earlier this year Roger kinda poured his heart out on social media ... admitting he and Jenni went through several ups and downs. He said, "Some days it’s a struggle to stay together. Some days she calls me a f**king d**k head (cause I am). Some days the grass looks greener on the other side. We aren’t even close to perfect and I have no intention on pretending that we are."

JWoww and Roger have 2 kids -- a 4-year-old daughter, Melani, and a 2-year-old boy, Grayson.

Angelina from 'Jersey Shore' ain't sweating a reboot of 'The Hills' ... 'cause, as far as reality TV reboots go, she's adamant the 'Shore' will leave 'em eating dust.

We got the cast of 'Jersey Shore' -- well, most of the cast -- leaving NBC Studios Thursday in NYC and our guy wanted to know ... is "The Hills: New Beginnings" gonna be better than 'Jersey Shore'?

'The Hills' has a tough hill to climb to get there. Remember ... the 'Jersey Shore' reboot was a monumental success for MTV with millions of viewers tuning in for some much needed GTL.

As far as Angelina's concerned, well, she's not. But, she does have a soft spot for Spencer Pratt. And, JWoww agrees. BTW ... noticeably absent from the bunch was Ronnie, who is still dealing with tons of baby mama drama. It was just a couple months ago when Jen Harley allegedly dragged him with her car ... leaving him bloody. He's tried working it out with Jen, but we've heard that before.

'Jersey Shore' star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is truly a man of forgiveness -- breaking bread with his baby mama and friends -- like their bloody domestic dispute never even happened.

Ronnie was at a Friday's in NJ Thursday with Jen Harley, their 3-month-old daughter and several friends. As we reported, Jen flew up from Vegas a few days ago to spend the Fourth of July holiday with Ronnie.

A witness tells us the couple seemed calm, cool and relaxed ... and Jen mostly tended to their kid.

TMZ broke the story -- Jen was arrested for domestic battery last month in Vegas -- after she allegedly attacked Ronnie in their car and dragged him out the passenger's side.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's hanging with his baby mama a little more than a week after she allegedly dragged him with her car ... but it's not all amoré just yet.

Sources close to the on-again-off-again couple tell TMZ the 'Jersey Shore' star and Jen Harley were spending time together this week, including on the 4th of July. We're told Jen flew out to Jersey earlier this week, and the pair's been kickin' it for a few days now.

All that said ... our sources say Ronnie and Jen are not officially back together at this point. They're simply working things out for the sake of their daughter, Ariana.

We broke the story ... Jen dodged domestic violence charges after getting busted at the end of last month for allegedly bloodying Ronnie up during a fight in the car.

The incident left one hell of a bloody mess behind, inside the car and out.

Despite Ronnie's close friends wanting him to stay away from her out of fear for his safety, he seems to be doing things his way. So far, so good -- we're told he and Jen have had no major issues this week.

12:25 PM PT -- A rep for the Clark County District Attorney's office tells us they dropped the charges due to insufficient evidence.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's baby mama won't face domestic violence charges for allegedly dragging him outside their moving car ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the Las Vegas Justice Court tells TMZ ... Jen Harley's domestic violence case will be officially dropped in court later this month. According to court officials, prosecutors haven't yet revealed why they're not moving forward with the case.

As we reported ... Jen was arrested last month after allegedly dragging Ronnie when they got into a fight on their way back from a BBQ. Jen allegedly hit him in the face and he asked to get out ... but when he got caught in his seat belt, she drove off anyway.

Their 3-month-old daughter, Ariana, was in the car at the time.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's 3-month-old daughter has been primarily in his care since the violent car dragging incident with his baby mama ... and we're told he's got custody on his mind.

Sources close to the 'Jersey Shore' star and Jen Harley tell TMZ ... their baby girl, Ariana, has been staying with him since the ex-couple's nasty fight last weekend in Vegas, for which Harley was arrested for domestic battery.

We're told Ronnie's mother has been helping with the babysitting and they are still allowing Jen to see Ariana ... but Ronnie and Jen aren't talking much unless it's about their daughter's needs.

Our Ronnie sources say he's considering getting a family attorney involved because, so far, there's absolutely no formal custody arrangement. We're told Ronnie wants 50/50 joint custody ... something he'd probably get.

We broke the story ... Harley told police Ronnie hit her multiple times during Sunday's domestic dispute, but cops determined she was the primary aggressor and arrested her.

'Jersey Shore' star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's baby mama told cops the reality star struck her multiple times during their domestic dispute ... but cops concluded she was the one in the wrong.

Jen Harley was arrested Sunday in Vegas for domestic battery after she allegedly attacked Ronnie while the two were driving home and then dragged him with her car.

According to the police report -- obtained by TMZ -- cops say they found Harley on the side of the road after a passerby called in to report a fight between the two.

Harley told cops she was driving and Ronnie was in the passenger's seat. She says Ronnie became aggressive, reaching for the steering wheel and hitting her multiple times. Harley claims she pulled over, took their 3-month-old daughter out of the car and tried waving down other drivers for help.

The police report states officers observed minor cuts, scratches and dried blood on Jen. The report also details Ronnie's injuries ... saying he sustained cuts to his mouth, arms and road-rash. Ronnie told officers Jen struck him 2 to 5 times with her fist, he got in the driver's seat once she got out and took off.
