The reality TV star took to his Instagram Story for the first time to address his time in prison and thank those who have continued to support him. Ortiz-Magro explained he took all the experiences as lessons and learned who really cared about him when going through a tough time.
His girlfriend, Matos, also spoke out about her partner's arrest in a statement posted to her Instagram Story. "Ronnie and I are fine there is a lot of misleading information floating around out there," she stated.
Matos appreciated everyone who expressed concern but revealed that everything that's being said out there isn't true.
According to her, it is not appropriate for people to make false allegations in order to gain publicity. The Jersey Shore star’s girlfriend concluded by asking to leave them alone and urged people to not believe everything that’s put out there.
I'd appreciate privacy, please. Thanks for all your support.
Ortiz-Magro met Matos in February 2020 and eventually started dating. He previously told US Weekly in November 2020 that the couple spoke for "four or five months" before beginning a serious relationship. “She supports me. She loves me, you know, and that’s something that I’ve always looked for,” he said at that time.
