“Jersey Shore” star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro pleaded not guilty Friday to seven misdemeanor counts including domestic violence and child endangerment after his arrest last month in California.
The 33-year-old from the Bronx was arrested Oct. 4 after an alleged altercation with his girlfriend, Jen Harley. Cops said Ortiz-Magro’s child was unharmed in the incident, but a Taser was used in the arrest.
The reality TV star entered the plea in Los Angeles on counts including false imprisonment, criminal threats, brandishing a weapon and resisting arrest, according to The Associated Press.
Scott Leemon, Ortiz-Magro’s lawyer, said facts around the case have been misrepresented, according to The AP. Leemon previously called the allegations “pure speculation and innuendo.”
The couple has a history of disputes, and Ortiz-Magro once accused Harley of tossing an ashtray at him.
