Ronnie Ortiz-Magro of Jersey Shore has drawn a lot of anger from MTV fans who want him completely removed from the show. His second arrest has sparked alarm within the community, and many feel he is not a good role model for the network. While he is not the first reality star to find himself in hot water he is one of the first to still be holding on to his job.

It is too soon to see if the network will fire the star since, at this point, the charges against him are just allegations. It has been noted that Ortiz-Magro’s past history has shown a pattern that started with his relationship with Sammi Giancola. He then had a toxic relationship with Jenn Harley that was also broadcast on the show. Fans everywhere think his behavior has gone beyond what is warranted for entertainment. Currently, his girlfriend, Saffire Matos is claiming they are still going strong.

News broke that Ortiz-Magro had been taken into custody for a second arrest for alleged domestic violence, but this time against his current girlfriend, Saffire. Even though Matos has stated that she and the reality star are fine, fans are not OK with the Jersey guy’s attitude or the assault charges currently linked to his name. Sources stated to TMZ that Matos called the police after a physical altercation broke out between the two. The police arrived on the scene and concluded that Ortiz-Magro was the aggressor. Saffire was also said to have marks on her body due to the altercation.

Fans started a petition on Change.org called “Fire Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.” The petition was created by “Victim Advocates” and has already collected nearly 600 signatures.  The paperwork has also called out MTV for exploiting the reality stars’ issues of “abuse for amusement” and goes on to reveal that viewers can’t “stomach” the father of one. The petition reads that Ortiz-Magro has a history of abusing women, and it is not OK for the network to still have him as a full-time member of the show. 

While many Jersey Shore fans may not have thought about the star’s manipulation tactics back when the show first aired, they are sure at the forefront of fans’ minds now. The 35-year-old was arrested on April 22 in Los Angeles and only spoke out to thank his friends for their support.
