His exit from the show came on the same day that his lawyers reported that he escaped criminal charges in his domestic violence case.

His counsel also revealed for the first time that Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is "currently seeking medical treatment for psychological issues that he has ignored for a long time. His only present goal is to address these issues professionally and make himself a better person and the best father he can be to his loving daughter."
