Stephen Izzo Jr. isn't the only person who got injured during the filming of Jersey Shore this past summer, but he might be the only one taking legal action. Word is that he's trying to stop MTV from releasing a Jersey Shore DVD set, which would include the incident where cast member Ronnie Ortiz-Magro punched him. Could it be because Izzo, prior to getting knocked out, was being an antagonizing douchebag on that episode? It's so hard to pick a side because there are clearly no winners in this situation.
Meanwhile, Izzo's attorney also believes that Ronnie—who has been charged with aggravated assault—doesn't deserve payment for his role on the show, and is trying to put a halt to his paychecks as well. At the very least, maybe Ronnie should take that photo of his handiwork (pictured) off his Facebook page?
