In an exclusive interview with the Globe, Red Sox legend David Ortiz recounts the shooting that left him near death, his harrowing ride to a clinic, and weeks of arduous recovery punctuated by life-threatening setbacks.

The alleged threat is one of the main reasons an emergency protective order was filed last week, done so to keep him away from Jen and their 18-month-old daughter Ariana.
Ron's team, however, told TMZ that he never threatened Jen.
"Suspect told victim he was going to kill her. Suspect pushed victim out the house. Suspect ran after victim," the protective order, obtained by TMZ, said. "Victim knocked on neighbor's door and set baby on ground. Suspect grabbed baby and dragged victim to the ground. Suspect punched victim with closed fist on face, causing visible injury."
Jersey Shore’s Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Released From Jail After Arrest
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is a free man once again. The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star was released from jail on Friday, October 4, hours after being arrested for kidnapping, Us Weekly exclusively confirms. Ortiz-Magro, 33, posted $100,000 bail and left the Van Nuys Jail in Los Angeles.
© @tt_kittymeow/Instagram The volatile relationship between "Jersey Shore" star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley, the mother of his daughter, who born in March 2018, imploded yet again early in 2019. "They broke up before New Year's Eve, got back together right before then and got in a big fight on [New Year's Eve]," a source told Us Weekly. "They're currently broken up. But it's the same story every time: They are together, they fight, they break up and then get back together."
Following the incident, the reality TV star was arrested for kidnapping as he allegedly locked himself and Ariana in a home he and Jen were renting in Los Angeles. Police eventually responded to the chaotic incident and broke down the door because Ron refused to come out of the house. Ronnie was then tased and arrested. He has since been released on bail.

Zack Carpinello said he will try to make it right, but the damage may have been done already.The flirtatious encounter was all caught by MTV cameras while Jwoww was inebriated.
Ronnie, though, claims he was simply scared for Ariana's safety, alleging that Jen was intoxicated and dangled their daughter over a fence.
The initial protective order ran through Oct. 11, but it was extended until Ronnie expected arraignment.

You have been an amazing father since day 1 , you have always shared the load of getting up at night ,changing diapers , bath time together, sick days ,comforting her when she's just not having a good day , We couldn't ask for a better dad dad dad than you! Thank you for being the best father to our daughter we love you???????? #happyfathersday" --Jen Harley, who posted this photo of ex Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and their daughter, Ariana, on Instagram on June 16, 2019
Ronnie and Jen have since split, ending (at least for now) their roller coaster romance of more than two years.
See how Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson spent their weekend
The pop stars spent time with Miley's mom and in bed together -- and Cody's mom went public to share her approval.Just a few days after Cody visited Miley in the hospital where she was being treated for tonsillitis -- and where the man she called her "bf" revealed he would soon be releasing a song he'd written for her, "Golden Thing" -- the singer-actress, 26, and the Australian pop star, 22, joined up with Miley's mother, Tish Cyrus, for brunch.
Ron and Jen's relationship has hardly been a fairy tale, as they've each been both the victim and the accused — He's been accused of physical and verbal violence against her, and he's also been accused of ransacking her house (video shows him smashing her video doorbell); she was arrested after allegedly hitting him during car ride and then dragging him with that same car when he tried to get out; she was also accused of once spitting on him and punching him in one incident, and then throwing an ashtray at his face during another. He's accused her of violence several times, and they've each hinted at infidelity. Horrifyingly, Ariana has been in the middle of several incidents.

"Today" anchors react to Matt Lauer rape allegation, Ann Curry shows support for accuser Brooke Nevils
Variety reported on Oct. 8 that in Ronan Farrow's upcoming book "Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators," former NBC News staffer Brooke Nevils accuses scandalized former "Today" show anchor Matt Lauer of raping her while they were on assignment in Sochi during the 2014 Winter Olympics. (He's called their sexual history consensual.) The following morning, Lauer's former "Today" show colleagues addressed the allegations on the morning show: "This is shocking and appalling, and I honestly don't even know what to say about it," said Savannah Guthrie. "I want to say that I know it wasn't easy for our colleague Brooke to come forward then. It's not easy now. And we support her and any women who have come forward with claims. It's just very painful for all of us at NBC and who are at the 'Today' show, and, you know, it's very, very, very difficult." Chimed in Hoda Kotb, "It's like you feel like you've known someone for 12 years … and then all of a sudden, like, a door opens up and it's a part of them you didn't know. We don't know all the facts in all of this, but they're not allegations of an affair -- they're allegations of a crime, and I think that's shocking to all of us here who have sat with Matt for many, many years. I think we're gonna just sort of continue to process this part of this horrific story. And as you said, our thoughts are with Brooke. It's not easy what she did to come forward. It's not easy at all." Concluded Guthrie, "We're disturbed to our core. We have a commitment to keep you informed, and we will continue to do that." Lauer's former "Today" co-anchor Ann Curry took to Twitter on Oct. 9 to respond to the news: "Brooke Nevils is a credible young woman of good character. She came to NBC News an eager and guileless 20-something, brimming with talent. I believe she is telling the truth. And that breaks my heart," she tweeted.

Ellen DeGeneres talks sitting next to George W. Bush at Cowboys football game, Mark Ruffalo slams her support of the former president
Ellen DeGeneres made headlines after she was seen sitting next to conservative former president George W. Bush while watching the Dallas Cowboys take on the Green Bay Packers in a box suite at AT&T Stadium in Dallas on Oct. 6. On the Oct. 8 episode of her eponymous talk show, the liberal comedian addressed the blowback to her seemingly chummy hangout with the conservative politician. After explaining that she attended the game as a guest of Charlotte Jones, the daughter of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Ellen said, "During the game, they showed a shot of George and me laughing together, and so people were upset. They thought, 'Why is a gay Hollywood liberal sitting next to a conservative Republican president?' ... A lot of people were mad." Continued the funnywoman, "Here's the thing: I'm friends with George Bush. In fact, I'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs that I have. We're all different, and I think we've forgotten that that's OK that we're all different. ... But just because I don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that I'm not going to be friends with them. When I say, 'Be kind to one another,' I don't mean only the people that think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone. Doesn't matter." Ellen's defense of her friendship with the former president drew praise from many stars -- but not from Mark Ruffalo, who tweeted on Oct. 9, "Sorry, until George W. Bush is brought to justice for the crimes of the Iraq War, (including American-lead torture, Iraqi deaths & displacement, and the deep scars -- emotional & otherwise -- inflicted on our military that served his folly), we can't even begin to talk about kindness."

Pauley Perrette opens up and thanks fans for support during "devastatingly difficult years"
While promoting her upcoming CBS sitcom "Broke" on Twitter on Oct. 6, Pauley Perrette cryptically alluded to recently overcoming adversity: "I'm so exhausted and SO FREAKIN HAPPY shooting my new show #Broke on @CBS. I want to thank all y'all that supported me through a few devastatingly difficult years. I'm so happy and healthy now and having a blast. THANK YOU positive people for helping me and being kind Love y'all!" she tweeted. While she refrained from specifying exactly which years were "devastatingly difficult" for her, the general consensus is that she was taking about her final years on another CBS series, "NCIS," which she left after 15 years in May 2018. After her final episode aired, Pauley alleged that she suffered "multiple physical assaults" during her time on the show. In June 2019, she tweeted that she was "terrified" of star Mark Harmon and the possibility of him "attacking" her. "I have nightmares about it," she tweeted at the time.

Jennifer Aniston reveals why she turned down a spot on "Saturday Night Live"
On the Oct. 7 episode of "The Howard Stern Show," Jennifer Aniston revealed that before she signed on to star as Rachel Green on "Friends," she turned down an offer to join the cast of "Saturday Night Live." Recalled the actress, "I didn't think I would like that environment. … I remember showing up and [Adam] Sandler was there and [David] Spade was there and I'd known them already and they were like, 'Look, Aniston's here!'" She later explained her decision to "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels: "I went to talk with him -- I was such a young twit," she said. "I was like, 'I think the women need to be treated better here.' … Because it was such a boys' club. You're just not the brightest when you're in your early 20s. I didn't lecture -- I was just saying what I would hope if I was to do this, what I would hope it to be."
