Snooki’s Boyfriend Assaulted His Ex

Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi can’t seem to find herself a good guy. While filming the show in Miami, her then boyfriend, Emilio Masella, drunk-dialed her and said he cheated on her (he later recanted his story). Now it appears that her latest love, Jeff Miranda, has an abusive past. Radar Online reports that one of Miranda’s ex-girlfriends slapped a restraining order on him last year after he attacked her and threatened her life.

Rebecca Hansen says she fell for the charming Miranda and dated him for six months, but their loving relationship turned violent. She claims he pulled her hair, punched her in the stomach, and called her derogatory names.

According to the documents filed in court, Miranda “threatened to burn plaintiff’s house down while she slept, threatened to cut plaintiff’s brakes, defendant threatened plaintiff by stating ‘if you cheat on me or break up with me you have a hole dug for you already.’” That wasn’t all. Hansen alleges Miranda pointed a shotgun at her head after she refused to have sex with him.

Unfortunately, Miranda may also be like Masella and have his sights set on something other than the 22-year-old reality star. Rumor had it that Snooki got fed up with her ex because she felt he was using her to get famous (while they were dating, he auditioned for The Real World).

Unfortunately, her new beau may be doing the same. According to Hansen, “Five months ago, he [Miranda] tried to get back together with me and told me that he was going to audition for Jersey Shore, just to be on the show and get his name out there. He’s nothing but a sick, twisted person, out for nothing but fame.”
