I was actually writing a post for all of Renee Graziano’s funny tweets since she is so hysterical and truly witty. As I spent some time scrolling down the twitter page for maybe 75 pages which took a lot of time, it was 8:00 pm and time to watch “Mob Wives”. I opened another browser page for twitter to view and tweet about tonights show. What I didn’t know was a HUGE twitter war that would unfold right before me own eyes!!. Renee Graziano and Karen Gravano really hold their own on twitter. Drita seems to be playing both sides and Carla? WHAT A FREAKIN WHIMP! She can not cut a bitch or even lick one.
I will most definitely have a recap up later folks. This one can not be missed. Reruns for Mob Wives go all night on VH1. You MUST check it out. I IMPLORE YOU! If you love Real Housewives of NJ, then this show is right up your er.. um.. alley.

New York Post – Renee Graziano finally can tell all. Some excerpts below
The VH1 reality series, which premiered April 17, has freed Graziano, 41, to talk about her life as the daughter of Anthony “The Little Guy “ Graziano, the reputed consigliere in the Bonanno crime family, and ex-wife of mobster Hector Pagan Jr, who was convicted of running a huge marijuana distribution ring.
“I’m no longer living my own secret life,” she says. “The best part of “Mob Wives” for me is being able to say it out loud.”
The show is the brainchild of Renee’s sister Jenn, and follows four women whose husbands and fathers are “connected” mob men, including infamous Mafia turncoat Sammy “The Bull” Gravano’s daughter, Karen, who moved to Arizona with her family when her father entered the witness protection program in the mid-1990s.

Sorry folks, I dont have time to recap this show. Instead I give you VH1’s recap which is still pretty good.
Attention gangsters and gangstettes! This week’s episode of Mob Wives picks up where last week’s left off, with Renee Graziano (aka @ReneeGmobwives) going toe-to-toe with Karen Gravano (aka @KarenGravanoVH1) outside of Carla Facciolo‘s birthday party. We’ve seen reunions on the North Pole that are less frosty than this one!
We pick up with a quick rehash of last week’s climactic verbal altercation, punctuated by Karen’s new assessment of the situation between her and Renee. “[Renee] doesn’t own Staten Island and she’s not gangster, so she better move the f*** out of my way,” Karen so bluntly puts it. It’s at this time that Drita decides to come outside and play peacemaker, despite her belief that Renee is a drama queen. Renee’s is clearly on the defensive at this point, and her reaction to Drita is a surefire notable quotable:
Well alrighty then!
Renee’s refusal of Drita’s suggestion to offer up an olive branch to Karen, as you might expect, begins to irritate Drita, much like a sliver underneath one’s skin. As we saw in this week’s bonus clip, one second she’s cool as a cuke:
And the next she’s all Hulked out.

If I take anything away from this show, I will no longer say mobster but ‘mahbsta!. The accents are off the hook and now I know that Jersey is getting a bad rap! All people who have such accents here in Jersey migrate from Staten Island! That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
The women are in various ways affiliated with da mahb and are serving the following sentences for their crime:
“Doing hard time without ever being behind bars”
“Life as an informants daughter”
“10 – 12 years as a single mom”
8 Years of raising twins alone
We begin with Renee Graziano whose father is Anthony Graziano. Renee was raised with glitz and glamour and misses her strength and power. She is a single mother of a 16-year-old and appears to spend a lot of money per the camera’s and we know how that worked out for the Guidice’s.
Karen Gravano is up next who is the daughter of Sammy “The Bull” Gravano. If you don’t know who that is, then stop watching this show now. You will be clueless for the rest of the season and story line. She currently lives in Arizona and has had to go into hiding while her father ratted on his crime buddies.
Renee and Karen used to be friends but severed ties from Karen’s father turning evidence. Karen is returning to Staten Island in order to complete her book and I don’t know about you guys, but Karen… YOU IN DANGER GIRL!! I wonder how much VH1 security was assigned to Karen to ensure her safety.

Watch an extended sneak peek of VH1’s newest series, Mob Wives, premiering Sunday April 17 at 8/7c and I for one can’t wait! This theme is right up my alley and this will make for great recapping. We got serious accents tawkin and a serious stereotype threat. I loved Victoria Gotti’s reality show “Growing Up Gotti” which gives you an insight to family members of mobsters who are presented with obstacles trying to out live the family name and the complications of living a normal life and mostly Victoria’s struggle with raising teen age sons amongst the hype and fame during the airing of HBO’s show “The Soprano’s”. I really like Victoria and don’t view her anything but a single mother raising kids with a cloud of gloom and doom over her head for her father’s business dealings and notorious conviction.
