The cast of the MTv show Jersey Shore just can’t seem to keep their fists out of people’s faces.
In December, MTv edited an episode in which one of the show’s female cast members, “Snooki,” got decked in the face during a bar fight with a ‘roid raging gym teacher from Queens. The network edited out the footage of “Snooki” getting punched, and ended the episode with a statement encouraging anyone experiencing domestic violence at the hands of a loved one or a stranger to seek help.
Disregarding the fact that a bar fight between unknown assholes is not domestic violence, apparently MTv feels that throwing punches is okay if the action is guy-on-guy.
In an episode that aired recently, cast member Ronnie Magro got into a fist fight with a random guy at a random bar after the two of them spent half the night talking smack to one another. This time, MTv aired the clip in its entirety, with no PSA about domestic violence to follow the episode.
Magro had this to say in his defense:
“I really don’t feel bad for the altercations that I did get into in Seaside because I’m really not a person who likes to fight. He was just being a drunk jerk, saw the camera … [and] I think he chased us down like two blocks or something like that. At that point, you’re like, ‘What am I gonna do?'”
I wonder if that meat-headed gym teacher felt equally as justified about punching “Snooki” in the face?
Magro was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Although the charges had since been dismissed, after seeing the show, a senior Ocean county prosecutor has stated that she is “reaching out” to the alleged victim in an effort to further clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Seriously, I am a female and I dont think he really “pushed” her like the way Sammi made it out to be. Just sayin…
i adoooooore ronnie. i’d totally do him. i would.
I saw the episode. The douchebag (non-Ronnie douchebag) totally warranted it.
haha i love the douchebag clarification. it’s totally necessary when referring to anyone who appears on this show, cast or otherwise, because they’re all orange, drunken douchebags. and they get into so many goddamn fights. i love/despise them for it.
Never seen the show, but that gf is effin brain dead. She gets in there and scratches that guy knowing he won’t fight back at her and then she pulls on his belt as they’re fighting like some dumbass. God what a dumb bitch.
But then again, it’s guys like these who will date girls like her.
That is bullshit. That was way more violent than the Snooki punch. If they can show this, they can show that little shrimp girl getting duked..
Okay, I don’t know who these people are or why they’re on TV, but the guy that was not a castmember was totally in the wrong, as was his stupid ass girlfriend who was going at a guy who had done nothing to her. The other guy instigated the whole damn thing, and he mildly shoved the girl aside because of the full-on attack being put on him by her douchebag boyfriend. I defintely don’t think he’s in the wrong, and guys fighting is as typical and as old as the rising and setting of the sun. It’s never going to change or stop. Boys will be boys, and from what I’ve seen, when guys fight, after that, they’re fine with one another. They get it all out in the fight, and then they’re cool.
