Mob Wives episode 7 “Mob Daughters” reaction

Sunday’s episode of Mob Wives featured Renee vs. Junior! Here’s our take on it:

Elsewhere, Ramona tells Karen that she had a meeting with Carla and they agree that Drita’s a bad seed! Carla meets up with Drita who says she still doesn’t trust Ramona & doesn’t understand why Carla would meet with her.

Big Ang introduces her new pooch, Louis! She takes him shopping for some clothes. He’s spoiled and likes to bite!

Karen visits media coach Patricia Stark to help her prep for media interviews with new book Mob Daughter. Karen’s releasing her book regardless of what people say!

Renee and Junior visit her therapist. Junior says he did a lot of cheating and lying in the past. He says the whole thing took him by storm, which sets off Renee and the waterworks. Renee sees it as she wasn’t good enough for him.  Later, Renee calls Junior to apologize but he doesn’t want to hear it and they argue.

Later, Drita tells Big Ang that Carla and Ramon made up. But Big Ang tells Drita to get over it!

At home, Drita’s daughter asks her if she’s ever gotten into any fights. But then…the phone rings and it’s Lee and he wants to contest the divorce. He apologizes and wants them to be friends for their kids.

Later, Ramona confesses to her four kids that her BF was arrested and he’s in jail. She also tells them she spent a couple of hours in jail too.

Karen calls her ex-BF David to check up on her daughter, but he’s angry! He tells Karen that he’s tired of being a single dad and she left her family in Arizona. But Karen gets angry when he tries to tell her what to do! She feels better at her photo shoot & interview for Mob Candy Magazine.

At Drita’s home, she tells Renee and Carla that Lee apologized. But Renee changes the subject to Junior and the fact that he’s emotional abused her for years. She also doesn’t see Lee as being a good father for hurting Drita.But Carla wants Renee to remove negativity from her life and if that includes Junior then so be it. Renee doesn’t trust Junior since he had another kid with someone when he was married to her! Drita doesn’t want to be in Renee’s position with Lee.

Next week:

Ramona and Drita are having their own separate Halloween parties. Renee and Junior fight and he takes off!

Drita finally tells her daughter Aleeya that she’s divorcing Lee. She assures her daughter things will work out in the end.

Karen plans a spa party at Renee’s home. In attendance: Ramona, her friend Adrianna, Big Ang, Renee, and Karen. Renee tells Karen that Carla felt “ambushed” and she calls Karen to say she’s bailing on the party. Ramona takes offence to being “ambushed” and wants to deal with Carla on the phone. Shortly after Big Ang leaves early and Renee doesn’t want to play both sides! It’s official: the spa party was a bust!

Renee is busy trying to rebuild her relationship with Junior. But she steals his phone, knows his password and finds a voicemail from a ladyfriend who says “I love you,” but it turns out it’s his cousin! When Junior returns home, Renee makes some excuse that she found his phone! Liar!

Drita learns from her old friend Bridget that Lee’s trying to contest the divorce. Drita’s the last know, but at the same time it doesn’t faze her. If Lee tries something fishy with the divorce, she plans on visiting jail to beat him!

Ramona thinks Carla is Drita’s puppet and meets with her face-to-face. At their meeting, Ramona confronts Carla about calling her an “archenemy,” but Carla denies it. Ramona tells Carla that Drita’s influencing her opinions. But Carla says she’s her own person. They decide to squash the past, move forward, and “be nice” to each other.

And next time:

There’s a lot of buzz about Karen’s book, and a lot of people digging up her past. Drita’s shocked to learn that Carla met with Ramona. Junior and Renee go to therapy together, but she ends up crying!

‘Mob Wives’ star Renee Graziano had a meltdown in court?

Mob Wives star Renee Graviano has an emotional day in court on Tuesday, reports NY Daily News.

She wept while the prosecutor talked about her ex-hubby Hector “Junior” Pagan‘s secret tape recording of her father Anthony (TG) Graziano and other Bonanno mobsters.

Here’s what NY Daily News reports:

Dabbing her eyes with a tissue, Graziano looked straight ahead and did not glance at the relatives of the other indicted gangsters sitting around her in the courtroom.

“I don’t feel uncomfortable around anybody,” Graziano said later. “I send my apologies and I feel horrible, but I’m not responsible (for Pagan’s treachery). I didn’t do anything. But I can understand they may feel uncomfortable around me,” she added.

Her surprise appearance at a routine status conference surprised some observers. “She’s the one with the fake face and the black shoe polish hair, right?” snipped a lawyer.

Pagan wore a hidden wire since at least last August, recording incriminating conversations about extortions and the armed robbery of a Bonanno-controlled illegal social club, according to court papers.

Mob Wives episode 5 “Old Friends, New Archenemies” reaction

Sunday’s episode of Mob Wives featured Drita moving on, here’s our take on it:

Good for Drita D’avanzo for finally signing her divorce papers to Lee and slowly packs up all his shit. Karen Gravano later meets up with cuzin Ramona Rizzo to discuss making up with Carla Facciolo but Ramona ain’t having it.

Carla explains to Drita that she made up with Karen but Drita thinks that Karen is just “bugging”! Karen decides to sends her daughter Karina back to Arizona as it’s just safer for her to go to school living with her father.

Renee Graziano meets up with Karen and Ramona to talk about Drita. But the “cuzins” talk smack about Drita. They claim she’s not even Italian, “crumb-snatcha’ and a flip-floppin’ floozy!” Drita calls Ramona a “raccoon” and she’s devil “DJ Flap-a-lot.” Renee better be careful as she is playing both sides…

Karen decides to invite all the ladies to a good ol’ girl time spa party at Renee’s and decides to invite Carla and Drita. Renee is excited that her dad is finally home from prison after 11 years even though they aren’t on good terms. That sucks.

Later Renee meets up with Carla and Drita. Renee mentions Ramona saying Junior only married Renee because of her father and he’s nothing but a scrub without her! Drita admits that’s exactly what was said heating up Renee. I’m dizzy…aren’t you?

And next time:

The spa party begins as Karen & Ramona are pissed that Renee invited Drita. Elsewhere Drita explains to her daughters about her separation from their father as she finds out that Lee is contesting the divorce! Ramona finally confronts Carla, stating “if you eff me, I’m coming for you!”

Mob Wives episode 2 “Hell On Heels” reaction

VH1 aired a brand-new episode of Mob Wives on January 8, Here’s our take on it:

Renee Graziano’s ‘Celebration of Life’ party continues with “cousin” Ramona bleeding after a close encounter with Drita D’avanzo’s during a heated argument with Karen Gravano…who did manage to sock Drita in the eye stocket!

When the ladies are finally separated, Drita accuses Renee of setting her up before she wises up and goes home while Ramona and Karen proceed to trash the hall inside!

It’s when Karen tells Junior Pagan – who’s on parole – that Derek hit Ramona…and Junior sees red!

Who is “cousin” Ramona? We find out that she is the granddaughter of Benjamin Ruggiero or better known as “Lefty Two Guns” and his life was featured the movie Donnie Brasco played by Al Pacino.

Mob Wives season 2 premiere reaction: new year, new war

Last night VH1 aired the season premiere of Mob Wives! Here’s our take on it:

Can you believe that Renee Graziano almost died from her body makeover plastic surgery nightmare! Shocking to hear about her sitting up post surgery just to rip open all her stitches along her back leaving a gaping hole over just 35 pounds and the lack of an ass.

Drita D’avanzo explains that she did file for divorce that just isn’t final yet. Carla Facciolo isn’t with her baby daddy either but is now feuding with Renee over not visiting her post surgery in the hospital and therefore isn’t invited to Renee’s “celebration of life” party.

But party goes south all to quickly when Drita decides that she is willing talk to Karen Gravano about their past throw down. Things get heated as Karen isn’t about to let go of the past so easily…

Next week: 

Karen’s “cousin” Ramona starts bleeding after getting socked in the jaw by Drita as Junior decides to punch a car in the parking lot after the celebration goes bust.

First look: ‘Mob Wives’ star Karen Gravano’s new book ‘Mob Daughter’

Mob Wives is finally returning on Monday, January 2 and yes we are counting down the days!

We’ve got a sneak peek at MW star Karen Gravano’s new book Mob Daughter: The Mafia, Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, and Me!

In the book (via St. Martin’s Press):

From Karen Gravano, a star of the hit VH1 reality show Mob Wives, comes a revealing memoir of a mafia childhood, where love and family come hand-in-hand with murder and betrayal.

Karen Gravano is the daughter of Sammy “the Bull” Gravano, once one of the mafia’s most feared hit men. With nineteen confessed murders, the former Gambino Crime Family underboss—and John Gotti’s right-hand man—is the highest ranking gangster ever to turn State’s evidence and testify against members of his high-profile crime family. 

But to Karen, Sammy Gravano was a sometimes elusive but always loving father figure.  He was ever-present at the head of the dinner table.  He made a living running a construction firm and several nightclubs.  He stayed out late, and sometimes he didn’t come home at all.  He hosted “secret” meetings at their house, and had countless whispered conversations with “business associates.” By the age of twelve, Karen knew he was a gangster.  And as she grew up, while her peers worried about clothes and schoolwork, she was coming face-to-face with crime and murder.  Gravano was nineteen years old when her father turned his back on the mob and cooperated with the Feds.  The fabric of her family was ripped apart, and they were instantly rejected by the communities they grew up in.

This is the story of a daughter’s struggle to reconcile the image of her loving father with that of a murdering Mafioso, and how, in healing the rift between the two, she was able to forge a new life.

Want more Mob Daughter? Read an excerpt of her book on her Facebook page!

Mob Daughter releases February 14, is written by Gravano with Lisa Pulitzer, and published by St. Martin’s Press.

Karen will also have a book signing at 6PM, Feb. 16 at Barnes & Noble in NYC.

Which ‘Mob Wives’ star is recovering from full-body surgery including a butt lift?

Mob Wives star Renee Graziano underwent full-body surgery on Monday including a butt lift, reports TMZ.

She had a 5 hour procedure including a butt lift and a tummy tuck which cost $30k. It will take about 10 days to recover.

Graziano tells the news site:

The mafiosa tells us, she’s not getting the surgery because she’s self-conscious — she’s getting it because she gained a lot of weight since Season One … and she’s always wanted junk in her trunk.

According to Renee, the show had nothing to do with the procedure — “Mob Wives” didn’t pressure her to get the work done … and they didn’t pay for it either.

Did you watch the season finale of Mob Wives? It was crazy!
