R4R Update: Put Up or Shut Up

Hey R4Readers! We thought we'd just drop in to share with you the latest on Mob Wives' star, Renee Graziano. You remember her, right? She's the loud, dramatic one who is always talking about loyalty and Jun-yah (her snitch ex-hubby).

So, if you watch the show, you know that Renee is no stranger to plastic surgery. You also know that during the last season of the popular vH1 show she was filmed getting liposuction, tightening, etc. If you saw that episode, you were exposed to blood and gore as Renee ripped her stitches and claimed to near death for some time after the surgery. Well, the doc who performed the surgery says "no bueno" to her claims and is taking action. Dr. Andrew Klapper is reportedly suing the reality tv star for defamation at upwards of 77 million dollars. Comments that Graziano has made regarding Dr. Klapper's skills include ones like "I went in beautiful and came out ugly" and "He was found guilty of killing a woman" just to name a few. The doctor says his practice has diminished considerably as a result of her false claims that he botched the procedure.

Here's what the New York Daily News had to say about the lawsuit:



"Dr. Andrew Klapper, 43, has filed a $77 million defamation lawsuit in Brooklyn Supreme Court, charging that Graziano falsely claimed he botched her full-body makeover.

“She has been on a media campaign to destroy this man’s professional reputation and she has succeeded,” mob lawyer Barry Levin, who is representing Klapper, said Monday. “His practice has diminished considerably in the last year.”

The Mafia diva, the daughter of Bonanno family consigliere Anthony Graziano — who was sentenced Monday to 19 months in jail for extortion — went to Klapper in 2011 for a full-body lift, including a tummy tuck and butt lift. The procedure was done as the reality show’s cameras rolled."

Whose side are you on?? Let us know. 

Later.

Dirty Rumors and Looks, and Let's Not Forget the Mob Books!

I love these ladies!  Just had to say that.  They never fail to provide us with a strong dose of dramaaaaa!!!! *Big Ang voice* LOL!

Here we go!

 I think Renee should not be trusting Carla.  Last week, Carla sat with Drita, Big Ang, and a bunch of nail technicians they didn't know and proceeded to crucify Renee!  Now, Carla wants to be a good friend and make things right with Renee?  She did this crap last season!  Carla is so extra and unnecessary.  I think someone should replace her for season three.  

As for Ramona losing her jewelry to the Feds, I can understand why she's upset.  BUT who keeps $200,000 worth of jewelry in a duffle bag? Also, she can't make me believe that she didn't know her boyfriend was doing something illegal, so she should just consider this the downside of that life.  

Karen's book event last night was great!  I thought it was great that her brother was there to show his support.  I also thought it was shady how Drita didn't show up. The fact that this book makes Drita lose it makes me believe Karen's story more and more.  When people mention Karen's book, Drita acts like what she is: a bad friend who jumped on another friend's man as soon as she was out of sight.  Why else would the book bother her?  I hope something juicy and negative comes out about Drita.  Maybe she'll throw a right hook at that because we see she wasn't stupid enough to actually try to box somebody. LMAO!!

Oh, and Junior exited Renee's life and this show better than any lady or queen could.  He is bringing down the Mob house, y'all!  All of those arrests because of him?!?!  DAMN!!  Well, a woman scorned.....LMFAOOOOOOO!!!!!  : D

And, as usual, I must end this post by stating that I adore the hot mess that is named Big Ang.  That woman is one of the funniest people on TV!  LMAO!! I will definitely be watching and blogging about her spinoff (Oh yeah, she's getting one!) when it airs!

Until next time....

The Confused and the Convicted

In my opinion, this week's "Mob Wives" showed us why we actually watch the show: for the mob-related drama!

We started off by learning that Junior has no idea when his court dates are, lied to Renee's face about loving her, and made promises to try to make that doomed relationship work. Was I the only person who gagged?!

Then, we found out that Big Ang is a convicted felon. Her best friends snitched on her! Ha! With all these snitches, I'm shocked she was sitting with Ramona and Karen saying how great the old days were. On top of that, I think I'm mostly shocked by the fact that I'm starting to like Big Ang! She makes me laugh every single time she's on the screen! LOL! She's pretty decent when it comes to being the peacemaker, too. Bottom line: Big Ang is this season's comic relief by far.

Later, we see Carla and Joe. JOE IS FINE AS HELL!!!!!! She couldn't wait on him?!!? And then he's a gentleman! He's not an asshole like that Lee-atard Drita was with. I hope they reconcile because maybe he'll make Carla's life more interesting since it's beyond a snoozer right now!

Finally, the Junior mystery. Honestly, Renee shouldn't have shed a tear for him. If a man would rather turn himself in and not inform you or his son, he's a piece of shit. What more proof is there? And furthermore, why was she without food?! This show should at least put SOME food on her table.

Also, when she found out that she couldn't be told what jail Junior was being held at, she should have known something was up. They are obligated to tell you what jail the person is being held at, but not the prison they are being taken to. BIG DIFFERENCE!!! That should have let Renee know something was up. Also, her dad being picked up on the same night had "JUNIOR IS A SNITCH" all over it! The police came for her dad, but Junior went freely. Didn't Renee think the cops would have been at her house for Junior too?! Then, the nut that she is, Renee said she wished she had died and A.J. could have been taken care of by her parents. WHAT PARENTS? The father she has in prison? The mom who is probably worse off than her? That statement sickened me.

Oh, well! Can't wait for Sunday....

We're in for a "BIG, BIG BANG"! LOL!

Until then....

Bitches and Snitches!...But Drita, Where Are The Stitches (we'll wait)?!

If you're like me, then you thoroughly enjoyed last night's "Mob Wives" for two reasons: We now know that Junior is the world's scariest thug, and we see that Carla truly shares some organs or something with Drita since she never leaves her side. I would say she shared a brain with Drita, but well all know that the scarecrow (Carla) went to Oz (Drita's homeland) for that. So, it's safe to say Carla's on the journey to finding a brain. And look at her go! Golf with Karen?? Well, I do declare! *clutches pearls* LOL! I see Carla wanting to hang out with Karen, Renee, and Ramona more soon because Drita only wants to carry Carla around as proof that she has a friend. They never look like they're having fun! And let's talk about how BRAINLESSLY LOYAL Carla is to stay at Drita's party that consisted of 15 people. Ummm....aren't you on TV? You couldn't hire some posers to show up, Drita?! LMAO! Wow!

As usual, Junior and Renee were arguing while Junior gives us his standard "I don't like this woman!" face. Their argument was a disaster! Renee looked trailer park drunk (and the tiger shirt just added to that), while Junior looked like he was staring in space. I am so over them that THEY SHOULD BE OVER JUST HOW OVER I AM, AND THEY DON'T KNOW ME!!! I can't even say "Get a divorce!" because they did that! I can't say "Make up your minds!" because they don't have those. I'm all out of insults. Literally, the trailer park one was my last bullet. No mob pun intended.

Ramona. I kinda like her. She seems honest. I can see how she thinks Drita getting an Italian last name might have made her feel like Don Corleone, especially since Drita is the phantom ass-whipper. The only person who has heard of her fights is Big Ang. Now, if she were a big deal, they would discuss her all the time. She seems to just discuss herself. I'm a little over Drita. She needs to put up or shut up. I was not around Staten Island in the 80s, so show me what you can do. I'm sure everyone was a lot better at stuff they did years ago. Maybe she's lost her ass-beating ability. Hmmm...no. Entertained that thought, it didn't do it for me.

Back to Ramona....her party was not that cool, but it was better than Drita's. The cop at the party was a true gift from the comedy heavens. LOL! As for Karen, she must have been drunk because that guy she was talking to was not cute.

And finally, Big Ang. This woman (I'm gonna refer to her as that for this post since we've met her son. Hey, I'm not a total bitch.) is comic genius!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way she rolls her eyes and speaks makes me feel so delighted! I'm like a 3 year old watching Big Bird! I think when I see Big Ang, what I feel must be similar to what kids feel when they see a real-life (costume) Dora the Explorer. LMFAO!!! Anyway, she gets a laugh and a thumbs up from me!

Until next week.....

HOT Mess of the Week: Renee's Dad Got Pinched!!

Hey Bleeples!! Miss me?! IKR. Well, as the title suggests, you can prolly find Renee in her kitchen schlepped over her countertop! Her precious jailbird dad is at it again. According to msnbc.com, he is being charged with racketeering in NYC. I know you aren't surprised, I mean the show is called Mob Wives not Law Abiding Citizens' Wives. And this is why she's the coveted and missed Hot Mess of the Week (HMOW). Here's an excerpt:

"NEW YORK CITY -- DEA and FBI agents arrested four alleged members of the Bonanno organized crime family early Friday on charges that include racketeering, gambling and drug sales, NBC New York has learned. The father of a "Mob Wives" reality show star was also charged in the federal case.Vincent Badalamenti, identified as a member of the Bonanno crime family administration, Nicholas Santora, a Bonanno family capo, Vito Balsamo, an acting captain, and Anthony Calabrese, a soldier, were arrested Friday and are are charged with racketeering, extortion, illegal gambling, and conspiracy to distribute marijuana, a law enforcement official said.Anthony Graziano -- a Bonanno family captain whose daughter Renee Graziano stars on the reality show "Mob Wives" -- was also charged. Graziano was already in custody on a prior conviction."

YOUSE Guys Betta Clean Up Your Crumbs!

Well, last Sunday's "Mob Wives" was very entertaining. So, here's where I stand with the ladies: Renee is still on my good side. Karen is kinda coming out of her shell this season, which I like. Drita is still talking about how much she fights but not backing it up. I like Drita, but c'mon! She needs to deck someone before her 15 minutes are up! Carla is still a filler. Womp womp. Ramona is a shit-stirrer, but she's just what this show needed! I like how no matter what she's loyal to her BFF, Karen. Big Ang...well, we'll call her a lady for right now.....she seems like she's been used her entire life. Big Ang is probably a bar maid for a bunch of mobsters who give her bars to run because they know she'll shut up as long as they buy her stuff. There is nothing about her that says "businesswoman" or "bartender"!

As for the show's events, I was tired of hearing Karen talk about pussy! Really, Karen??? I drop a few f-bombs myself and have a potty mouth, but a lady constantly saying "pussy" is just gross. Clean it up, girl! I felt like Renee cuz I wasn't prepared for Karen's Drita comments either!

Also, the trip to Big Ang's bar was a mess. We heard another story of how Drita used to fight. I'm tired of everyone cosigning Drita's stories when she's not wrecking anything on the show!

The whole Renee/Junior reunion is kinda cute because they've realized that they are the only two people on Earth who can tolerate each other's bullshit. It's kinda cute considering that they just put all of their mess out for the world, while 99% of other people in relationships hide theirs. Ha!

Ramona can't convince me that she had no idea her boyfriend was in the Mob or selling drugs. Listen, if these men live in Staten Island with no college degrees, chances are they're rolling in ILLEGAL dough. The things some women will look past for a little Louis Vuitton. Ramona, those LV bags can't carry your pride, sweetie. Just saying.

Also, this little dude Derek is getting on my nerves. I think he needs to step away from this show because he really is irrelevant. You broke up a Drita/Karen fight. Okay. We don't wanna see you anymore. We really just want to hear more about Drita's Lee drama or see another fight between her and Karen. Derek, you're voted off the island. Staten Island, that is.

But this week there were TWO best moments: 1. Big Ang telling her son that she's dating a man who just got out of jail for murder. He did 28 years for it! And they both agreed that that didn't make him a bad guy!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!! And then this criminal is giving her a pomeranian puppy. Now, murderers buying dogs is funny, but a woman thinking a murderer is sweet for it is even funnier! ROTFLMAO!! Oh, Big Ang!! : D

2. RENEE AND THE CRUMBS!!!! How epic was that?!?!?!?! I mean, she actually scared the kids by telling them to shut up and acting so irrational. The look on Ramona's daughter's face was EPIC! LMAO!! I think it was even funnier that she got upset about them not empathizing with her over the crumbs. ROTFLMAO!! I swear, Renee is the star of this show! It's showing more this season than last!

Team Renee!!!! : )

Until Sunday....

Mob Wives: "Hell on Heels"?? Satan, You Showed Your A$$ This Sunday!

Well, my favorite show, MOB WIVES, is back!! Sorry that I missed last week, but I'm a busy girl...what can I say?

But as for last night's episode, it was appropriately titled "Hell on Heels". That's exactly what it was! The Albanian slugger Drita once again started a fight that she wasn't able to finish. She threw a mean right hook at Karen, but Sammy's daughter dodged that hit and came back with a punch that left Drita's eye black and bloodshot! I don't get why Drita keeps bragging about how well she can fight. I think she's just a chick who has had a luck streak when it comes to hitting someone hard enough the first time so there's no fight. In an actual fight, she sucks ass! Just saying!

And Ramona, I really like her! I think all women need that one loyal friend in their life who will have their back no matter what. So, call me crazy, but I love that she jumped in that fight to help Karen. Drita should not have been swinging!

For all the Ramona haters, y'all have to admit that she knows how to shit-stir like no other! LOL! Hell, I was ready to beat Derek's ass from my couch and I didn't know who he was or where he went....NOR WAS I AT THE SCENE! LMAO!!

I will say though that I nearly died from laughter while watching Drita cry and claim she was set up. BITCH, YOU ARE NOT TUPAC!!! ROTFLMAO! No one is coming for Drita bad enough to set her up, least of all Renee! I think Drita needs a "tough girl" moment at all times, so she can have it. Whatever. *eye roll*

Let's move away from that subject and discuss the other new Mob Wife, Big Ang. Now, I am truly confused when it comes to Big Ang. I mean, is Big Ang a man or a woman? And why am I even asking that when it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck so it must be...a man?? ROTFLMAO! I'm looking forward to hearing Big Ang's story just because I need to know what man actually dated her or married her.

Renee, Renee, Renee. I have a soft spot in my heart for Renee because she and I both love the nice things and are loyal as hell! So, I feel like she has a right, and my blessing, to beat all of their asses for ruining her party! LOL! When you're like me and Renee, you don't take too well to people messing up happy atmospheres that you try to create. She spent her night running in Jimmy Choo's to stop fights that had nothing to do with her! You would almost think that NO ONE came there to actually celebrate her birthday! But....the Junior situation is a little weird to me. I don't buy that he's changed. I believe he's just getting scared because he's going to jail and is realizing all of his mistakes. I hope Renee treads lightly with him.

But for real, why is that bitch Carla even on the damn show?! Her ole scary ass is always hearing shit secondhand and having an opinion! She heard about the fight at Renee's party and was calling everybody and their mamas to find out what happened, yet she couldn't call everyone multiple times to check on Renee after her surgery?? She only called Renee once! I'm over Carla. She's swimming with the fishes as far as reality TV is concerned.

Until next week!!

So, Jessica Rabbit, this is your Roger??

This is a pic that Drita D'Avanzo posted online of her and her "soon-to-ex/current/who-the-fuck-knows-what-they-are" husband, Lee D'Avanzo. Damn, after learning he cheated on her, I guess Drita didn't care about him not wanting his face out there! LOL!

Okay, so the cold cut demanding, potty mouth, disrespectful, cheating convict, known as Lee D'Avanzo, who was the subject (at least to an extent) of conflict between former friends Karen Gravano and Drita D'Avanzo is this guy?! FLAG ON THE PLAY!!! He is not someone to go crazy over AT ALL! These women were acting a fool over this guy, who I promise has probably 10,000 other look-a-likes on Staten Island.

I do believe Karen's issue with the situation was truly one of friendship, but the fact that Drita was all "I'ma stand by my man!" for this guy just bewilders me. I'm glad you're moving on, Drita. You can do better!
