Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is extending a hand to his Jersey Shore co-star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro after fans voiced worry over the reality star's demeanor during a recent press event.
In an Instagram Story on April 30, Mike — who has been open about his own sobriety journey — addressed the concerns candidly.
"I want to be clear that I am not responsible for the actions of any other cast member," he wrote. "At the same time, my heart is heavy seeing what Ron, a grown adult, chose to present during press."
He continued: "This situation is still developing, and while I do not know the full extent of what he may be going through, I do know it is separate from my path. If he is willing, I will be there for him."
Mike, 43, said he has reached out to Ronnie but has not received a response yet. The MTV star added: "My heart is with anyone who is struggling. I have worked hard to protect my sobriety for nearly 11 years, and I honor that every day while continuing to show up with compassion for others."
Mike has been sober since 2015, after checking into rehab in 2012. He shares three children with wife Lauren Sorrentino. The Jersey Shore star has previously spoken about maintaining sobriety while partying on the show, saying: "It is possible to have fun and dance in the club without drinking."
E! News has reached out to Ronnie's representatives for comment.
