AceShowbiz - Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's relationship with his ex Jen Harley has taken an ugly turn again. On Thursday, December 12, the reality TV star took to Instagram to air Jen's supposed dirty laundry in public, accusing her of abandoning their 20-month-old daughter Ariana to be with her "sugar daddy."
The 33-year-old shares text messages between him and a friend named Andrew, who informed him that his daughter Ariana had been with him overnight. In response to the friend, Ronnie apologized that he couldn't come get his daughter because Jen is "holding this legal stuff over my head."
The "Jersey Shore Family Vacation" star wrote on the screenshot of the text exchange, "When the courts give full custody to a person who abandons their kids?!" He wrote on the caption of another screenshot, "When the mother of your child leaves the state with no babysitter and won't even come home to her."
In another post, Ronnie claimed Jen "knows [Ariana is] crying and decides getting drunk with a sugar daddy is better." He also suggested that Jen trades sex for money. "Is it legal to have sexual activities for money?!? The question is.. where's [sic] was the son? Lmaooo," he wrote along with a text that detailed a hookup.
Ronnie also posted a lengthy message on Instagram Stories, lashing out against his baby mama. "I refuse to sit back anymore, and let a mentally unstable person ruin my name, take my daughter, try to take my freedom with lies," he wrote. "I am standing up for myself & my daughter [Ariana] and everyone else this person has been trying to hurt over the last week. Upset because I've moved on with my life. I refuse to be bullied!!! I am a great father, an amazing person!"
The MTV star claimed he has "been harassed" for two weeks, declaring, "Enough is enough! Let's [sic] the world know the truth!!" He added, "But how many fake articles can one person wake up to? How many fake lies can one person deal with that my daughter will have to hear? How much emotional abuse, mental control can one person tolerate? How many people can I let this person try to destroy in my life that I carry about? I'm sticking up for myself, my daughter and the people in my life that this mentally unstable person has been harassing & threatening!"
The posts have since been deleted from Ronnie's account. Explaining his situation, a source close to the reality TV star tells PEOPLE, "Ron is frustrated with people falsifying stories about him as a person and father, this entire situation in general. Legally, he can't see his daughter and it's hurting him beyond belief. He just wants what's best for her, she is his number one priority."
Meanwhile, Jen's attorney Lisa Bloom has released a statement in response to Ronnie's allegations. "Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is currently the subject of domestic violence restraining orders banning him from disturbing the peace of my client, Jenn Harley. Nevertheless he chose today to post cruel and false statements about her, along with her work phone number, causing her to be subjected to a barrage of hate calls and texts from his followers. Jenn Harley simply wants to work and care for her baby daughter in peace. We will be taking appropriate legal action," so the statement reads.
