Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is breaking his silence on the concerns surrounding Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.
During a recent interview with his Jersey Shore cast mates, Ronnie, 40, struggled to keep his eyes open and appeared to nod off several times while co-star Deena Nicole Cortese spoke.
After the video sparked concerns with fans, as Ronnie has previously struggled with substance abuse in the past, Mike, 43, took to his Instagram Story on Thursday night (April 30) to address the situation.
“I want to be clear that I am not responsible for the actions of any other cast member,” Mike began. “At the same time, my heart is heavy seeing what Ron, a grown adult, chose to present during press.”
“This situation is still developing, and while I do not know the full extent of what he may be going through, I do know it is separate from my path,” Mike, who has been sober for 10 years, added. “I will help where I can, including through my organization, The Archangel Centers.”
“I reached out to check in and offer my support, and I am still waiting to hear back. If he is willing, I will be there for him,” he continued. “My heart is with anyone who is struggling. I have worked hard to protect my sobriety for nearly 11 years, and I honor that every day while continuing to show up with compassion for others.”
As of right now, Ronnie has not publicly addressed the concerns.
Jersey Shore Family Vacation‘s ninth and final season will debut on Thursday, May 7th on MTV. You can watch the trailer here.
