Of all the reality TV shows out there, Mob Wives may have the most cast scandals.
Dead bodies, bank robberies, drugs it's shady with a chance of meatballs among these ladies
and their oh-so-connected family trees.
Let's take a look at the biggest secrets from this scandalous show.
Drita D'Avanzo's alleged attack
She was well-known for getting into fights with her fellow Mob Wives, but Drita D'Avanzo's
drama followed her off-screen as well.
"The second I walk into the restaurant Drita screaming and yelling, she wants to act like
a man all the time...she's got a f--- p---- f--- d--- on her neck."
In 2016, TMZ reported that D'Avanzo was arrested for misdemeanor assault after brawling with
a woman over a parking spot.
The woman, Mary Bratti, said she suffered a minor concussion from the punches Drita
landed, and also claimed D'Avanzo's husband Lee had been harassing her since the fight
took place.
"See this is how dumb f------ hos form a crew.
They have nothing in common except hating me."
But according to the New York Daily News, charges against Drita were dropped when Bratti
reportedly didn't cooperate with the DA.
Drita's hubby's dirty business
As Mob Wives fans know, Drita D'Avanzo's husband, Lee, has a long and complicated history with
the law.
According to the New York Daily News, he was indicted in 2001 for crimes dating back to
the '80s, including drug dealing and bank robbery.
"The jewelry Lee used to buy me before he went to jail was like some serious s---.
Like you don't just keep it in your house, you have to put it in a f------ bank and s---."
Lee was released from prison in 2006, but The New York Post reported he was arrested
again in 2008 while trying to rob a bank, and was released again in 2013.
Drita told Hollywood Life that she initially had no idea her husband was involved in any
illegal activity, claiming,
"When I started dating Lee, I knew he had a business.
As for bank burglary and stuff like that?
No way!"
Big Ang did some time
Back in 2001, the late Angela "Big Ang" Raiola was indicted on multiple felony charges following
an 18-month investigation, according to The Smoking Gun.
Raiola who had 14 small bags of cocaine in her handbag, at the time of her arrest was
reportedly part of a mob affiliated drug ring in New York City.
She pleaded guilty to a "conspiracy to distribute" charge and was sentenced to three years' probation
and four months of home confinement.
"Listen, I've survived it all.
House arrest, wise guy after wise guy, and I'm still standin'."
In her 2012 autobiography Bigger is Better, Raiola confessed that she got involved in
selling cocaine because she was a single mom who needed to support her family.
She wrote,
"I did it for the money.
I wouldn't do it again and haven't since.
I learned my lesson.
It's not worth the risk."
Sadly, Raiola died in 2016, at age 55, after battling cancer.
"My philosophy is party every day, live day for day, cuz you never know when you're gonna
go."
Renee Graziano's checkered past
Mob Wife and author, Renee Graziano, has come clean about her battles with substance abuse
and depression.
According to her spokesperson via People, the reality star entered rehab in 2012 to
quote, "improve her physical, mental and spiritual health."
Graziano later told VH1,
"My life was just really out of control…
I mean I'm embarrassed but I'm human.
I think that's why going to rehab on camera was even better for me because I wanted people
to know that I'm not superwoman."
"What's in the f----- water, man."
Graziano checked into rehab again in 2016 and 2017, but as of May 2018, she is reportedly
sober, and helping others recover.
She told Page Six,
"I still battle with my addiction and my depression and it helps people now.
It used to [destroy] me, but now I work in a rehab called Transitions Recovery.
I get people placed."
Brittany Fogarty's witness protection
While she only joined the cast of Mob Wives for its final season, model Brittany Fogarty
was no stranger to serious family drama.
"Get off me Karen.
Karen get off me."
According to the New York Post, her father, John Fogarty, was reportedly a notorious mob
affiliate.
"My father, he was involved in criminal drug activity, but when he met my mother, she pulled
him closer into that mob lifestyle."
And the Guardian reports Fogarty's mother, Andrea Giovino, who's been referred to as
the "real-life Carmela Soprano" revealed in her 2004 tell-all, Divorced from the Mob,
that one one occasion…
"[John] Fogarty came home for dinner with two bodies in the trunk of his Lincoln Continental."
According to the Guardian,
"Fogarty confessed to an undisclosed number of murders and served six years in a federal
penitentiary before joining the Witness Protection Program."
As a baby, Brittany moved with her mother from Staten Island to Pennsylvania, as part
of the Witness Protection Program.
"They like stuck our little Italian family in Pennsylvania and my mom's like all Brooklyn,
and like don't f--- with my kid."
According to the New York Post, Brittany doesn't have much of a relationship with her dad.
She told Bikini.com,
"I think I took my anger out on my father, I pushed him away, I didn't understand, I
was like how could you murder people."
"I mean seeing your father three times in prison, there's no relationship.
There's no bond."
