Mob Wives: Ramona's Q&A With Cherry!

Ramona doesn't hold anything back


I have to say I was very impressed by Ramona's interview with Cherry. There is no pretense at all. Ramona is very open and up front about anything asked of her. I can't do the interview justice because Ramona has a way of using words that is all her own. You have to watch all 8 minutes and see for yourself. Here is the meat of it:

Cherry welcomes Ramona and calls her “the real deal” meaning her grandfather is “Lefty Guns” Ruggiero, and the story of Donnie Brasco was about him. Cherry asks her if she feels like “royalty?” Ramona says that she and Karen never grew up that way, they never threatened people saying they were going to call their uncle or so and so. They never dropped names, they always handled their own business. They never used the “name card” to get into places, they didn’t want anyone to know they were getting into places because they weren’t allowed to be there. To Ramona, her grandfather was just her grandfather.

Ramona talks about going to see Karen after getting arrested. She says her voice was cracking a little bit because her emotions were real and it had just happened. The worst part about being in jail for her was that she was freezing, and because of that her voice was hoarse. All she could think about were her children. She knew she didn’t do anything and the truth would come out, but she was cold, tired and thinking about her kids. Ramona says she has been released and her part has been resolved, but her boyfriend is incarcerated. 

Ramona was there when they filmed the “sizzle reel” before season one because Jennifer Graziano is her lifelong friend. Jennifer asked her to be on the show, but Ramona had personal reasons why she couldn’t do it at that time. But, even though she wasn’t in the show, she says she was always there when Jennifer had parties and all the mob wives were invited. She adds, “So to sit here and watch Carla say, lies always come back to bite you in the ass anyway, that girl Ramona; that girl Ramona was always at places where you were.” She says she doesn’t know Carla for many years, she is from Brooklyn and Ramona isn’t. So these are Ramona’s friends and Carla just came into the circle now. When she says “that girl Ramona” it could be just something she is saying for television. Ramona says she has known Renee for about 25 years, their families have been lifelong friends. She grew up with Karen. And she does know Drita, that part of the circle, they tried that it didn’t work. 

Cherry says it's been said that Ramona came on the show to back up Karen, when all along Ramona was supposed to be part of the original cast. Ramona says she and Karen have been always been friends, but people on Twitter who write “I hate you, I want to kill you” are just computer thugs who would never say that to her face, but they might ask for a picture if they met her. She doesn’t respect people who want to get all gangster on the computer and more than that she doesn’t respect people who take time out of their day to write something negative towards her.

Cherry goes back to ask how Ramona tried getting to know Drita in the past and why didn’t it work. Ramona says it was prior to the show. Drita hung out with her sister, Jennifer and Karen for many years. Her sister hung out with Drita in the clubs, they fought together. Drita was in her parents home, but she never hung out with her much. Drita was never her cup of tea, she isn’t into that type of girl. So when Ramona came back, Drita was married to Karen’s ex-boyfriend, Lee, who Ramona grew up with.  Drita was also very friendly with Jennifer at the time and they tried to go out a couple of times. But people who have jealousy and tell lies, they become the most dangerous things in life, and that's what Drita really has created. She has said so many things that are such lies and her ego on television has gotten so large that it is what it is. As far as fighting, I don’t need to be a man, but I will have to go that route if you are going to raise your hands to me. But she has created this persona on television and they only live five minutes from each other. Ramona says, let her come knock on my door and put me in the hospital. 

Cherry asks if she wants to clear up anything from the fight and how is her lip. Ramona says she didn’t get punched or she would have had a bruise. She got a cut on her upper lip so obviously something sliced her. But she never got knocked out and no ambulances ever came, so right their people’s credibility went right out the window. Ramona says she went out there to stop a fight because she knows Karen’s temperament and she knows Drita’s temperament. She could see it was getting heated. Ramona says, “A we are at a party, B I don’t want my friend to catch a case, and as much as I don’t really like Drita, she does have two children so let’s just stop the madness. Why do we all have to fight.” So she went over to them to diffuse the situation, neither of them needed to get more riled up. The interview wraps up. Watch it, you'll like it!

Drita hung out w/her sister & then says she pretends not to know her! Drita is turning out to be a pathological liar.

If i could keep track of the lies i would, because it makes for a good blog.

Ok, what does it mean -her sister and drita "fought together"?

Mob Mistress said...

Ramona's sister & Drita hung out together when they were friends. If there was a fight, they fought together.

Chiara Soprano said...

I'll tell you how I took it Miami. Since Drita was friends with Ramona's sister, I think they fought together against other people...so Drita was flying solo in all her fights.

MiamiGirl said...

Ok, thanks for clearing that up - but I don't even know any guys who do that. How often do these women get into physical altercations? I can't imagine disliking so many people, let alone hate them enough to want to smash their faces in! Is this a staten island thing?? I kinda remember the tough talking crap in middle school and a few hair-pulling contests, but this has followed these women into adulthood. Bizarre.

Mob Mistress said...

I'm thinking it was back in their teenage years & maybe early 20s that Ramona was referring to.

I wasn't a "fighter." I'd look at people like they were stupid when they talked shit. Frankly, in my opinion people can run their mouths all day long. Beyond being irritated, it makes me no difference. When I fought it was only after someone put hands on me. And then my thoughts are, "You are going to remember me."

Ramona is just letting everyone know that she knew Drita before Mob Wives. Drita act like she is "new" to the group. To me Carla is the only one who didn't hang with them. Carla knew Renee but Carla stated she met Drita when her parents bought Drita's old house. Carla says, Drita only speaks the truth. Who says that but a kiss a-- person!

I think Drita may mean that Ramona is new to the Mob Wives show dynamic group.

It's kind of the same way that Big Ang is new but Big Ang has been received so well and is a fan favorite which I think may have a little something to do with the fact that she comes across as a very loving and sincere person (and also not as a threat to the other girls).

Ramona's intentions may have been good at Renee's party by why did she make that comment that was something like "I'll give you carte blanche to grab the mike and talk to the camera about everything you said about me over the past two years?" That comment seemed to come out of nowhere and like she was purposely trying to interrupt and provoke an angry reaction (I found myself getting irked by it) but, then again, it may be an editing thing.

It's nice that Ramona is loyal to Karen.

Chiara Soprano said...

"I'll give you carte blanche to grab the mike and talk to the camera about everything you said about me over the past two years?"

I heard Ramona explain why she said this. She was still attempting to calm things down and told Drita she could say whatever she wanted to about Ramona on the mic and she would give her a FREE pass, meaning not fight her. Thinking that would appease Drita. It may not have been the best idea at the time, but she was trying to diffuse the situation for as long as she could. I think all Drita's "discussions" get physical at one point or another and everyone knows that. She is still bragging about her barroom brawls and putting people in the hospital. It's time she grows up and becomes a role model for her girls. She threw the first punch and got the worst end of it. She has nothing to complain about.

MiamiGirl said...

Not a good time for that comment. That is why it looks like they were starting to gang up on Drita. Even though I do not condone these woman brawling like men (or talking like they do), I was not surprised it escalated after that comment.

So agree, Chiara. Drita's a grown-ass woman who brags and makes excuses like a 5 year old. Don't put your hands on someone unless they go to put their hands on you, period. Yeah, she whiffed on her sucker punches this time, but supposedly when Karen was pinned under Renee, she was trying to break Karen's ribs. If someone that violent thinks she's entitled to go after someone for a stupid comment that she doesn't even understand, she should probably be safely locked up in jail. Plus she should probably get her eyes and ears checked because she totally ignored Ramona and went right for Karen. What does she tell her daughters?

Rosey nailed it! Renee is fabricating this 27yr friendship with carla f they were acquaintances and werent fond of each other I had more respect fir Renee when she called Carla a filler and told the truth! Drita is such a liar! She used to chauffeur Ramona around when she first came back to this country just to secure her spot on the show since Ramona is BFF with shows creator Jennifer G. As far as Ramona's sister fighting with Drita. Drita has NEVER had a 1 on 1 fight EVER until the rooftop. She has a steady reputation in Staten Island for being a sucka puncher and jumping people! She used Ramona's sister to fight her battles and lost alot of respect. I could be catty and list the names of about 4 people that i know as a fact she jumped but i think that's for them to say.You writers are amazing the way you see thriugh the bullshit

Chiara Soprano said...

Anon, I think Renee knows Carla for 27 years, but didn't really have a close friendship with her, they are too different. Thanks for your comments, they were very interesting and things I never heard before, but suspected a little. Someone who talks about fighting so much is usually all talk and no action. A person who is secure with themselves doesn't have to brag about their skills...NOT that fighting is something to brag about, yet she keeps doing it.
