Regretful Reality: Jersey Shore’s Ronnie tweets about use of gay slurs
”I apologize to my fans, In the heat of the moment i said a lot of things i didnt mean and im very sorry… i love my creepy fans..”
Ronnie Margo, of the MTV reality show “Jersey Shore,” tweeting an apology that is likely in reference to a video that appeared on TMZ. In the short clip, he is heard calling another man a “fucking faggot” and a “fucking queer.” In the context of the show the edited episode, you can see that the cast of young, horny Italian-Americans first had a run-in with the man in a local bar when he began taunting the cast for unknown reasons. Outside, he again taunts Ronnie and his onscreen girlfriend, Sammi, who responds with some heated comments of her own. Ronnie asks her to stop, but she continues, so he pushes Sammi to get her attention. She gets mad, he gets mad. She takes off, and Ronnie ends up getting in a fistfight with this unnamed man and his female companion. The previously excised footage appears to be verbal jabs he exchanged with the man after he shoved his girlfriend and before the physical altercation occurred. (Twitter) (TMZ) (MTV)
