Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Says He’s Dealing With ‘High-Functioning Depression’

The post acknowledges concerns raised by a recent interview clip that fueled questions about his wellbeing.

Overview

  • Ortiz-Magro, which he disclosed on Instagram Stories Monday, described high-functioning depression and shared Mental Health Awareness Month messages and a Kyrie Irving video about being human.
  • Public concern intensified after an April 21 SiriusXM interview where he appeared to nod off and struggled to keep his eyes open during a cast discussion.
  • Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino said he reached out to check on his co-star, confirmed he is still waiting to hear back, and offered support through his Archangel Centers.
  • TMZ reported that police were called to Ortiz-Magro’s Miami home in March during a reported domestic dispute as his ex moved out.
  • He stepped away from the show in 2021 after a domestic violence arrest and court-ordered measures, announced one year sober in 2022, and returned in 2024 during the run-up to the current press tour.
