A woman who claims she was assaulted by the 'Jersey Shore' cast's bodyguards last fall has filed a claim against Snooki, The Situation and the rest of the reality stars on the show, according to RadarOnline.com. In addition to naming the cast of the MTV reality hit, now in its second season, the suit also names MTV and its parent company (Viacom), as well as 495 Productions, as defendants. The name of the woman filing the suit is listed on official documents only as "J.P."
The alleged incident took place in September 2009, on the very same night 'Jersey Shore' troublemaker Ronnie Magro was filmed in Seaside Heights, N.J., punching a man, Stephen Izzo Jr., who ended up unconscious. Magro was arrested for aggravated assault.
In March, a couple -- who were on the boardwalk of Seaside Heights during filming of an infamous episode -- sued MTV for broadcasting what they claimed was an inaccurate depiction of a heated altercation they got into with Sammi Giancola and Magro. And just last month, a Chicago-area woman named Carrie Malec filed suit against MTV, as well as Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "J-Woww" Farley, alleging that she was assaulted on camera when the cast and crew were in a Miami nightclub shooting a season 2 episode.
Of the verbal and physical brawls the cast members find themselves frequently involved in, Magro has said, "You'll see throughout the show, we do go out and if we do get into an altercation....it's us just defending ourselves or reacting to somebody else."
