Ronnie Ortiz-Magro stepped back from ‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ in 2021
Ronnie stepped back from the show in May 2021 to focus on his mental health. Shortly after being arrested for domestic violence spring of the same year, Ronnie shared a statement to his Instagram story. He announced he would leave the series to focus on his journey to overall wellness.
He posted a statement on his Instagram story. Ronnie wrote, “After talking to the team at MTV, we have mutually agreed that I will step away from the show while I seek medical treatment for mental health issues that I’ve ignored for too long.
“My number one goal now is facing my struggles head-on. This process will be difficult, but my #1 priority is to get healthy and be the best man and father I can for my daughter,” the statement concluded.
Ronnie appeared on the MTV series in Aug. 2022, where he sat down with Mike Sorrentino for dinner at a New Jersey restaurant. “Haven’t been on the East Coast in a while,” said Ronnie in the episode.
He continued, “Been a long year, and it’s been a lot of doing the right thing, just being a full-time dad and being sober, you know. I am living my best life, one day at a time.”

In an interview for TooFab, Mike addressed Ronnie’s absence and the cast’s feelings toward him. He suggested Ronnie needed to apologize.

“It can’t just be once every couple of months. I keep telling [Ronnie] that he needs to keep relationships with the cast. That would remain to be seen, and that would be up to him,” he continued.
“Seeing him in the future is definitely a TBD. I hope he has taken this time off seriously, and I’m sure he is in a better place. There might be an opportunity in the future to see him again. But that wouldn’t be up to me,” Mike concluded.
