How ecstatic will the denizens of Seaside Heights, N.J., be when MTV closes the book on Jersey Shore? It’s been a three-year-old melee in that town.

The latest: Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is on the receiving end of a private citizen’s complaint, brought by a man who claims Ron roughed him up in a bar.

Justin Viterito accused the 26-year-old Ortiz-Magro of simple assault that resulted from a brawl at the Seaside nightclub Bamboo Bar on June 9.

According to Viterito, a friend of his “was shoved by a cast member from the show” and as he moved to help, Viterito was “struck” by the star.

The complaint also named as defendants MTV and parent company Viacom in court papers. He alleges Ron-Ron belted him above the left eye.

Neither man’s attorney was available for comment, nor was the cable network. But Ortiz-Magro must appear at a court hearing set for July 3.

The melee affected Ronnie’s co-star Jenni “JWoww” Farley, who reportedly ended up sustaining a foot injury and was on crutches last week.

Also this month, Deena Cortese was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge and someone leaked these pre-pregnancy pics of Snooki nude.
