We've added ID's I Married A Mobster, other shows & mafia/gangster movie commentary to our blogging mix. Basically we are 'Miserable Often Bitchy Wives' (+one male), a blogging cocktail of the shows & movies we love to watch. It's our opinion and we're sticking to it.

<b>The Final Sit Down</b></div>
<br />
Frankly, I feel a little sad. Not only is this the last episode of the last season, but it seems to me that this season was very rushed and 10 episodes wasn't enough to accomplish what needed to be accomplished. I was under the mistaken impression that the Reunion Show would be at least two episodes, but it seems that this is all there is . . . a one hour reunion recapping six seasons and with new footage we have never seen. Even the Reunion has been short changed. I don't know why they had to bring things to an end so fast, it doesn't feel right. We've invested so much in the show and cast and I just hope we all feel satisfied after tonight's episode. I have my wine and laptop and I'm ready . . . so bring it on.<br />

<b>Renee can't believe the footage!</b></div>
<br />
Everyone meets at the hotel to get ready to film. Hair, makeup and wardrobe. Renee wants to know if she ever got as angry as some the girls she is watching? She must have forgotten those "crumbs." Carla says the way she [Drita] makes up stories is pathetic. Karen is excited to get to the Reunion. The women are told to watch old footage and footage that has never been aired before. Theses to rile them up before The Final Sit Down. It works. Karen says she is glad fans are finally going to see what goes on behind the scenes, they deserve to know the truth. I just wish the show had been longer and we were able to see a lot more footage!<br />

<b>Karen watches footage of Drita talking about her father</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>which she claims she never did @@</b></div>
<br />
Karen sees a video of Drita saying Karen brings up her father and he is too involved. Drita really looks miserable to me. Things on the show didn't turn out the way she expected. They have footage where Karen says "Everybody in the neighborhood went to jail because of her [Drita]." Drita is shock that this footage will be aired and she is fit to be tied. "That's not gonna be on tv is it?" Now she refuses to talk at the reunion and has decided to resort to fighting. The main issue seems to be the ongoing drama that has existed between Karen and Drita for 5 years. Karen says Drita is a psychopath who thinks she runs Staten Island. Renee says the only people who can't hear the truth are the people who lie.<br />

<br />
Warehouse! Karen and Renee enter and take a seat. They reminisce about how the show started. Jennifer Graziano's idea for a television show of four women who had men in prison and had to keep the family together and the day to day struggles they faced in the lifestyle. Karen says Drita told her how happy she was that they were talking again. Karen felt nervous being on the show and opening a can of worms. Karen say when they named the show Mob Wives they all flipped out. Karen reminds Renee she wasn't too happy to see her back in Staten Island when the show started and how she blamed her for what her father did. But Karen also says she understands Renee was feeling she would be judged for associating with Karen because of the show. Karen says Drita has had a problem with everyone and tries to divide and conquer. She keeps harping on the problem Karen and Renee had. Renee says there is no divide and conquer. They are both still sitting there together in the end and the best of friends.<br />

<b>Angela giving advice</b> </div>
<br />
Angela walks in and looks fantastic. Karen brings Ang into their reminiscing conversation. When approached to do the show Ang said she couldn't do it. Ang says people told her if she does the show they wouldn't talk to her. Karen said before Ang joined the cast they were gonna kill each other. Ang doesn't like to hurt people's feelings. She was known as the peacemaker on the show. Except for the season she was having an issue with Renee. Karen makes reference to Drita causing problems and Ang calls her an "instigator." Then we see a clip: Drita is yelling at Ang because she never speaks up for herself and she tells Ang she is controlled by the puppet master. Too bad that didn't air when it happened, I could have had a field day with that.<br />

<b>Drita arrives at Hotel</b></div>
<br />
Being bombarded by old footage, Drita is at the hotel complaining to producers she just wants to see Karen Gravano without security. She is really riled up.<br />
<br />
Carla arrives at the warehouse all dressed in red. She doesn't know what will happen, but she wants some answers. Karen says she is just going to be real and whatever happens happens. Renee says you can't make up some situations that were shown, like the biggest mob bust happened during the filming of the show. What are the odds of that happening? Then to find out Junior turned informant and Renee's father was arrested because Junior wore a wire. Karen says their primary goal was to get on the show to make money for their families. Karen now feels all the things they fought over seem so ridiculous when Ang is fighting for her life. Ang says nothing was that serious. Ang says she has to leave. She tells them to behave and act as good as they look. <i>(Note, Ang passed two weeks after the filming, may she rest in peace). </i>Still seems so surreal to me that Ang is gone.<br />
<br />
They put a live feed in Drita's room so she can hear and see everything that is going on in the warehouse. She just gets more pissed off, if that's possible.<br />

<b>Drita runs for Karen</b></div>
<br />
Karen says they all had fights and they were superficial. But, her fight with Drita was deep. A lot of it had to do with Lee. Karen asks where did it go left? When she makes up stories and tries to affect her money and makes up lies about her father? Drita is watching this and threatens the producer. She wants to fight, that's it. Get the cameras out of her room. She says they are all trying to get her arrested. Drita is going down in the elevator, security is told to get in place. The girls are told this is their last chance to say what they want to say to Drita. Karen says she is a jerk off, she's not real, she's a television character. Drita is on her way. She wants to break Karen's jaw or wire it shut. Of course she does, she doesn't want Karen to tell any truths about her. Security is in place. Uh Oh! Drita walks in and runs over trying to get to Karen. Poor Carla was in the path of the tornado and got thrown on the table by security. They pull Drita away and Karen laughs at her for the theatrics. Drita yells at Renee "what are you looking at?" Renee is yelling they were supposed to have a conversation and not raise hands. Drita is running her mouth and Karen is aggravated. Karen has to sit in the back in order for Drita to sit down at the table. Drita says she will not sit down with Karen because she talks about Lee. Just another excuse not to face Karen. She is a coward! Drita yells she doesn't talk about her [Karen] baby's father. Karen is pissed and yells "you started it b*tch!" Drita gets her way. Karen says she has no balls to talk to her face. She even tried to sucker punch her. Karen tells Renee she did not get hit.<br />
<br />
With Karen out of the room, Carla and Drita start talking. Carla said they were good friends for 3 seasons and then Drita changed. Drita acts shocked and says "I changed?" Come on Drita, millions of viewers saw how you turned on Carla (We're not friends like that and she's a mothball. Remember that? Of course not, you never admit to or remember anything you said or did). Carla says she never explained why she had an issue with her all of a sudden. And Carla adds she knows because of how Drita acted when she walked into Renee's party. Carla said fans didn't hear what went on when she left Renee's party, but she did. Clip. Drita said she is quitting the show a couple of times saying they wanted to make her look like a "f*ckin' jerk off" by blindsiding her with Carla's appearance. rita is in denial mode. Carla says she can't ever get anywhere with her because she always says she didn't do it. Karen is in the back and can't even hear their conversation, she is frustrated. Drita accuses Karen of being the biggest liar every season. Renee tells Drita she wants Karen in there to talk. They have a very big problem. Drita says she doesn't like it when people talk about her husband, the prize package. <br />

<b>Lee at his best</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Drita can have him, no one else wants him</b></div>
<br />
Renee says everybody's family got talked about. Drita says she never talked about anyone. Another Lie. Karen starts yelling liar in the back. I know how Karen feels, it's hard to argue with a liar who makes things up and denies the truth. But then Renee tells Drita they have it on tape, she was talking about Sammy Gravano. She just saw it. We all saw it and heard it. Drita talks about Karen's family. Drita still insists she will not talk with Karen. Drita says "rats are always protected." Drita tells the producer she cannot sit with Karen at the table. She mentions Lee for some reason or excuse. I wish we could have heard a few words other than Lee. Drita says Karen makes up stories and Karen screams from the back that Drita made up stories about her father.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Drita off in the corner, talking about Sammy</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>and telling lies</b></div>
<br />
Drita sits down again and says Karen lies so much she can't sit with her. But now we are going to see who the real liar is. The producer finally brings Karen back into the warehouse. Karen walks in and sits down next to Carla across from Drita. Karen wants to know why, in season 5, Drita is in a corner telling production she can't work with Karen and she shouldn't be on the show. Drita says "who told you that ? It's bullsh*t." Meanwhile we all saw the video tape and it's up on Karen's timeline. Drita brought up Karen's father and said she can't work with [the threat of] Sammy The Bull. He's gonna come out of jail with nothing and try to kill people. She won't put her family in harm's way. She says she will quit the show. You can see the video on Karen's twitter. Drita tells Karen she said she couldn't work with Karen because she brings up men. She even denies what's on tape! Karen says Drita is the one bringing up the men. Drita lies and says she didn't say it. Big surprise there. Karen said she heard it (and so did we, it's in the video tape). Who should we believe, Drita or our lying eyes and ears?<br />
<br />
Marissa enters. Karen wants Marissa to clarify what was said about the men. Marissa says she never said Karen said anything. Marissa met with Drita and said she heard that Drita told someone that Lee talked to O.Z. and told him the girls should play nice. Marissa wanted to know from Drita if the conversation took place between Lee and O.Z. Drita never gave her an answer. Renee says Drita jumped the gun and accused Karen of saying it when she didn't. Brittany walks in. Why, I really don't know. This is going to be a waste of a couple of minutes we don't have to spare. Brittany says Renee has done nothing but talk about her family from day one. Renee says it's the way she is and it's something she has to work on. Renee says Brittany did the same thing, she talked against Drita one minute and then they are best friends the next. Brittany talked against Drita in the Hamptons without knowing her. Brittany says if Renee hadn't brought up her family maybe things would have gone differently. Marissa says through all the drama, at the end of the day, she had fun and wouldn't mind working with them again. Then Marissa and Brittany leave.<br />
<br />
The Producer wants the four of them to do one more thing to wrap things up. Karen brings up Angela and her fight with cancer. Renee says Ang gave them a lot of laughs and she has a good spirit. They all miss Ang at the reunion and they all agree on one thing, they will all be there for Ang. Certain people will no longer be friends, but hey will all always be connected because they were on this show together.<br />
<br />
There you have it! Five years, six seasons of unbelievable drama. Many of us have been there from day one. We are going to miss our guilty pleasure. It's with sadness that we must close the book on a great show that was not only entertaining, but brought many of us together as friends. Jennifer Graziano had the vision to create an epic show and hopefully she will give us another before too long.<br />
Here is a recent tweet if you missed it . . .<br />

<b>And you can bet Karen will!</b></div>
<br />
<br />
While the ladies are getting hair, makeup and wardrobe done, they are instructed to watch packages of footage. In the footage are clips from prior shows and things that did not make the cut for the show. As they watch, some can't believe what they are seeing for the first time. Karen, for one, is happy that fans are going to see some the real things that have been going on and hopefully it will expose some for the losers and liars they are. Drita says Karen got her father way too involved, which sets Karen off. Carla is disgusted and says Drita just makes up story after story, it's pathetic.<br />
<br />
When Rock'em Sock'em Drita arrives, the security is told to be in place. She goes directly to her room, where her producer is waiting. Drita watches the package and sees Karen angry about being called a rat when she never ratted on anyone in her life. Karen says, she wants to talk about ratting, why not mention how everyone went to jail on account of her. Drita asks the producer, "what is that doing on there. That's not going to be on the show is it?" As she listens more closely she says, "OMG I didn't think they would air that." Then she gets very agitated and jumps up from her chair. She is ready to go to the Reunion. She doesn't want to watch people rip her apart. Instead she will go in there ready to fight.<br />
<br />
Renee says the only people who don't like the truth are the ones telling lies. Karen says who is Drita, a fraud gangsta b*tch, who thinks she is the Boss of Staten Island. Drita says Karen is getting her face f*ckin' broke. Drita says, "You ain't gonna have no Reunion today, I will promise you that." It ends with Drita looking and sounding very nervous and in attack mode.<br />

<br />
I cannot believe this is the last show of the last season of Mob Wives! We started this blog almost 5 years to the day, just before season one premiered in April, 2011. It's been a long, long ride. It started with two friends who met online and wanted to write something together for fun. We got a whole lot more than a hobby out of it. We met and spoke with all the Mob Wives at one time or another, and the show's Executive Producer, Jennifer Graziano. We made friends with other diehard fans who shared our views and opinions and with many who didn't. It's been quite an experience to say the least. Thank you to all our loyal readers for sharing your thoughts on the show and it's cast week after week. We appreciate all of you. And now for the recap . . .<br />
<br />
And away we go! <br />
<br />
It's the last night of Renee's Ballroom dancing so she invited the girls to her recital. This is the new, improved Renee. In come Carla, Marissa, and Karen with a bouquet of flowers. AJ and his girlfriend arrive. Renee comes out with her instructor and they are doing the Rhumba! Renee seems a little nervous, but she performs flawlessly. Everyone is impressed with Renee's dancing skills. Renee is proud of herself. She is proving she can do anything. She thanks everyone for coming. It's great to see Renee really happy and enjoying life after all we have seen her go through. AJ's dancing idea was brilliant and I'm glad she listened to him. Now, if we could only get Dancing With the Stars to give her a call, we could get Renee back on our screens and give me something to blog about!<br />

<b>Delusions?</b> </div>
<br />
Ang's House. Drita arrives. She has that Orange Glow (not the furniture polish, at least I don't think so). Ang is making her coffee. Ang finds it hard to breathe since the lung surgery. Ang says she is trying to keep positive now that she found out she is cancer free. Without skipping a heartbeat, Drita tells Ang about the things Brittany told her that Karen said about Lee. Drita is "really really really pissed off." Ang says Marissa swears she never told Drita it was Karen who said the men (Lee and OZ) talked to each other about the girls playing nice. Drita is even more angry and thinks Marissa is out of her mother f*ckin' mind. Drita insists Marissa told her Karen said it. Too bad the world saw Marissa tell all the ladies, and then Drita herself, the story of the men talking and Karen's name did NOT come out of her mouth . . . it came out of Drita's! In fact the way I remember it is, Marissa tells Drita word on the street is the men were talking. Drita says, who could have put that out there? Not Renee, not Carla. I'll tell you who did it . . . Karen Gravano! Then Drita really loses it! Drita says this is my f*cking island [Staten Island]. Karen has to move and she says she will torture her until she moves. She's gonna kick her the f*ck out. Drita is screaming about Karen and Marissa like she is out of her mind. Now she is done with the two of them. Poor Ang. Does Drita ever think of anyone but herself? Seriously? She wants to go ape sh*t about Karen and Marissa in Ang's kitchen when she is still recuperating from her surgery, dealing with cancer and hates fighting? How about taking the petty problems that you created in your imagination, to Dr. Phil and leave Ang in peace? Maybe Dr. Phil can shrink her head?<br />
<br />
Karen and Karina go driving. Karen wants Karina to get some practice parking. Karina isn't taking it too seriously. Karina looks at Karen more like a friend than a mother. Karen wants to know how she got her permit, she doesn't understand some of the basics, like parallel parking. Karen seems a little stressed, like my father when he tried to teach me to drive. Karen says because Karina is in the same school as Aleeya she is concern that this war with Drita is going to spread to the next generation. Karen here's a tip, send Karina to Driver's Ed and then get her extra driving lessons before you try teaching her anything.<br />

<b>Is this Marissa?</b></div>
<br />
Drita's house. She even more orange now if that's possible. Maybe she ate too many carrots? Drita calls Marissa. When Marissa answers, Drita isn't sure who the hell she called because she is "bent." Who is this? Is this Marissa? she asks. Marissa is confused, the last time they talked they had a good conversation and now Drita is mad. Drita isn't even making any sense, just ranting on and on and on. Drita wants to meet up with Marissa, Brittany, Karen to find out who said what. Marissa wants to know why she needs her minion, Brittany, there? Drita calls Karen a rat. Marissa says you know you are hanging out with a family of rats, right? Drita is screaming in Marissa's ear the whole time with lots of cursing and threats.<br />

<b>Oooo you sound really mad, huh?</b></div>
<br />
Marissa says her classic line "You sound really mad, huh?" All the 99 veins in Drita's head and neck are popping out. Marissa says she doesn't understand her Napoleon complex, if anyone should be mad it should be her because Drita has her name in her mouth. Drita goes on the rant of rants, screaming and cursing even more. All I know is someone in that crew needs to call 911 before she has a stroke. Drita wants the meeting to happen tomorrow and she is yelling at the cameraman and whatever crew happens to be there. I think they all should get hazard pay.<br />

<br />
"The Meeting." Drita and Brittany are driving to meet Karen and Marissa. Drita is bent out of shape. Still. She is going to show everyone what the f*ck Karen is all about. She is her boss. That's Drita's new game. Wait! What? Drita thinks she is Karen's boss? And get this, she is going to tell her what to do and what to say! Hell no! Karen tells Marissa that Drita can't win with her words because she is a liar, a fraud, and a snake. Karen says Drita will not disrespect her. If she wants to fight her she will fight her, but first they need to talk about it. They have a lot of history. Marissa would respect Drita if Drita would say she thought she heard her say Karen's name, but if she didn't then it's her bad. I can guarantee that will never happen. Drita was the one who concluded it had to be Karen and we all saw it. And Drita can go back and rewatch the episode if she has any doubts now.<br />

<br />
Meanwhile, Carla, who isn't at this meeting, is worried about the outcome, she thinks they are going to kill each other. Drita tells Brittany she is taking it old school, no more nice guy. Drita makes all kinds of threats on the way to the meeting. Tonight they are going to find out who the boss is. Karen says Drita can't deal with he truth. Karen says Drita doesn't want to fight Karen, she wants to fight the truth and she can't win. They all arrive at the restaurant.<br />
<br />
Drita tells Brittany she welcomed Karen with open arms years ago. She is so mad now. Karen has been backstabbing, lying and talking about her and her husband. Karen says she let Drita into their world and the fact Karen knows her all too well terrifies her. Drita starts screaming as soon as Karen walks into the restaurant and calls her a rat. Marissa wants to have a conversation and tries to get one started about who said the men were talking. She barely gets started when Brittany starts verbally attacking Marissa trying to goad her into fighting. No one can get a word in with Brittany screeching and then Drita joining in. Karen and Marissa remain calm waiting for the conversation. Drita keeps yelling across the table at Karen. Karen keeps calling Drita a "dumb b*tch," saying she called the meeting but doesn't talk.<br />

<br />
Drita screams at security that she doesn't need them there. She starts screaming at Karen. The "Fight" breaks out with Drita lungeing at Karen over the table and Brittany making a dive at Marissa. Security guards jump in and grab each of the women. Karen says the fact Drita just wants to fight and not talk proves she can't handle the truth. She doesn't want to hear the truth, she is a disloyal b*tch. Karen tells Drita she never ratted on anybody, if she did Lee would be in jail. Karen says no one likes Lee, they talk bad about him on the street, he cheats on Drita. Karen says she isn't scared of the truth. Karens yells to Drita, "You are irrelevant B*tch, I showed up to tell you that." Karen says Drita is all about the theatrics. Karen says she created a fake persona, fake green screen monster, gangster b*tch, lady boss. "She's a fake, fraud, rat b*tch." Drita says Karen came back to SI to make trouble and to talk about Drita and Lee. She is going to smack her and call her out every time she sees her. And then everyone goes their separate ways since no conversation will be happening.<br />
<br />
Well, nothing came out of that at all. Drita is all worked up about things that never happened. She made up her mind Karen started the rumor between Lee and OZ, when she made it up. Karen did not come back to Staten Island to talk about Drita and Lee. She came back to be on the show to help her friend Jenn out because her name was the big draw for production and viewers. She came to have a platform and exposure for her book. She came back at great personal sacrifice of having to leave her daughter behind in order to be able to give her daughter a better life. She didn't come back to talk about Lee and Drita. If you read her book, they are barely mentioned in it. They are insignificant in the overall story of her life. I don't know how Drita can believe Karen would care enough about her and Lee to come back to Staten Island? In fact, all Karen tried to do was to talk to Drita and try to reestablish their friendship, but Drita wasn't having it. I think Drita felt jealous and threatened by Karen and maybe even guilty because she married her ex and never had the decency to tell her. But what do I know? Anyway, the finale tries to wrap up the loose ends in the last minutes. Frankly, we needed at least two more episodes to give us satisfaction and closure. This season was just too rushed.<br />
<br />
Two months later. Time to wrap things up.<br />
<br />
Karina has been booked for a huge modeling gig and Karen has been focused on her daughter. Karen says they are very close and she considers her her best friend. Karens says she doesn't speak to Drita since that night. Drita knows nothing about loyalty. Karen says she grew up in the lifestyle and now she understands it is about loyalty, a brotherhood and protecting your family. Those are the core values in life. She says she is connected to Renee, Ang and Carla by the lifestyle they grew up in. She wants her family to come together and be successful. Karen's crime? Giving the wrong people respect.<br />

<br />
Renee is in the best place in her life that she has been in the last 6 years. She is going to keep moving forward. She says the group girls have been through so much, good times, bad times, ups and downs, some will remain friends and others won't. AJ is her entire world. She is impressed by her son. Renee says her crime is falling in love with the lifestyle that was made for men.<br />

<br />
<br />
Carla says her life has changed so much the last 5 years. Her kids are her life. They are 13 now. She doesn't regret growing up in the lifestyle, but she doesn't want it for her kids. She just wants them to be successful and smart, and be their own person. Carla says she is extremely loyal. Her crime, being loyal to a fault.<br />
<br />
Drita calls Lee down to dinner and we see a man come down the stairs, but they don't show his head. I think we've seen enough of Lee in the parking lot, don't you? Drita feels her family has been in the best place it's ever been. Drita says it's all about protecting your family. Drita says Karen is a back stabbing, story telling b*tch is irrelevant to her life. Ang was always a true friend to her. She doesn't want to change anything in her life right now. Drita's crime, staying in love with a former professional bank robber. (Gag).<br />
<br />
Ending with Big Ang and her family, talking about the difficult road ahead with her health issues.<br />
<br />
What's done, is done. And the Big Big Bang scene with Renee, Karen and Carla walking down the street, they stop for a second and turn to look at Drita who is off to the side, then turn back and continue walking! Drita is left standing alone. Is it me or did anyone else think Drita was sad, maybe even crying, before that scene was filmed? In those few seconds the show really summed up everything. That was brilliant!<br />
<br />
We would like to thank Executive Producer, Jennifer Graziano, for creating this show and putting everything she had into it. The concept was amazing and puts the other "housewife" shows to shame. And, we would like to thank Karen Gravano, Renee Graziano, Carla Facciolo, Angela Raiola and even Drita D'Avanzo for sharing their personal lives with us for five years, on and off the show. Renee and Ang especially shared some of the most difficult life experiences anyone can ever go through and they did it to help others. Karen kept it real. She is an open book. Her story, growing up as the daughter of the most notorious underboss in New York crime family history, is compelling. Carla, what can we say, you are loyal to a fault, we've all seen it. Ang will be missed by many more than just Mob Wives fans. She touched so many hearts beyond just the show. It's hard to believe she is really gone.<br />
<br />
Thanks too to Ramona Rizzo and Love Majewski, who have the mob ties and history and brought a lot to the show. They were only in the show a season or two, but they were always missed by fans.<br />
<br />
Thanks to my blog crew: Mob Mistress, Underboss, and Carmela for all the help behind the scenes. This show helped bring us all together and that will not change now that it's coming to an end.<br />
<br />
There are too many people on Twitter to name that have become part of "our team" so forgive me if I left your name out, Thanks to: DonDig, Tweetpolice, SpeakingRoses, MobBaby, Melissa, HeyYou, Victoria, Debbie, Stacey, Queen of Bitchville, Lala, ZB, Deliajt, John Simon, TLKjustice, Margaret, Gypsy and so many more "friends of ours" who are hoping for a season 7!<br />
<br />
Don't forget, we still have the Reunion Show to look forward to. Stay Tuned!<br />
<br />

Not that any of you particularly care, I am giggling <span style="font-size: large;">and giggling</span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">and giggling</span> up a storm. Pun intended. I just caught a glimpse of Drita D’avanzo screaming into her cell phone. She was yelling so loud I almost didn’t notice her <b><span style="color: orange;">orange</span></b> skin, slob attire, stringy greasy hair, <b><span style="color: magenta;">hot pink </span></b>lipstick and veins popping. Before you Drans get your Mob Wives’ <i>feelings</i> all in an uproar, I specialize in slob attire daily. I wear it. Therefore, I can type about it. My initial reaction after viewing this gem of a clip I thought:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Is Drita D’avanzo on <strike>drugs</strike> something?</span><br />

I mean really what in Staten Island is going on? Moving along to my favorite part of this video is Marissa's nonchalant reaction. I don’t know about you folks. I think she deserves the <b><span style="color: #d9ead3;">Cool As A Cucumber Award</span></b>. You think I can get Chiara to order a golden cucumber award?<br />
<br />

Soooooo what’s your take on this phone chat? Is Drita’s reaction normal, logical? Is Marissa giving us tank top cleavage or what? And finally why in the mob’s pits of Hell does Brittany need to meet up with them? I thought this all started because folks were telling Marissa that Drita claims Lee D’avanzo talked to <strike>Jamie</strike> O.Z. asking the girls to play nice this season. Marissa was up in arms because felons aren’t allowed to talk to one another on parole, probation or whatever the deal. She was pissed that Drita would tell people that nonsense. Karen expressed she should talk to Drita about it. Marissa addressed the issue with Drita face-to-face and is bombarded with,<b><i><span style="color: #ea9999;"> “Karen….. <span style="font-size: large;">Karen……she needs to keep my name</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">…..fat….rat….obessed with Lee…..”</span></span></i></b><br />

On last night's Mob Wives, Episode 9, "Drittany," Karen said, "Who knew Drita would flip this b*tch faster than the Feds flipped her mother?" And, as one would expect, both Brittany and her mother, Andrea Giovino took issue with Karen's statement and had a hissy fit. Having been a fan and blogger of the show from day one, I have not known Karen to lie about anything, especially about a sensitive subject like this. I blogged an episode of "I Married A Mobster," based on the life of Andrea Giovino, back in July 2011. According to what I remember of "Working Mom," Andrea seemed to admit she cooperated with the Feds. In fact, according to other sources and from Andrea's own words in her book and to CBS News, she seems to admit telling the Feds whatever she had to in order to stay out of prison. Below are some excerpts with the links to the source so you can read and decide for yourself. Maybe someone owes Karen an apology?</div>

<b>From our blog dated 7/21/11 Right from "I Married A Mobster" Working Mom Recap</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
"One day her brother tells her that a guy won’t or can’t pay back the loan. It was for $20,000. Andrea gets extremely upset. She tells her brother to get that money and do whatever he has to do. Her brother understands, so does law enforcement. The DEA hears her 1982 conversations through wire taps. Andrea and 22 other crew members were arrested.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
The Feds take Andrea into an interrogation room. They know her history and all the mobsters she had been with. She can’t play dumb. The Feds say either she tells them everything she knows or she will be facing 10 years in prison. They play her the tapes they have, including some that have recorded threats on her life. If she goes to prison she is sure to lose her kids. The mob wanted her dead. So , Andrea tells the Feds everything she knows. Andrea cannot go into the witness protection program because she shares joint custody of one of her children with her ex-husband, and that child would not be allowed to enter." <a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-married-mobster-giovinos-working-mom.html">http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-married-mobster-giovinos-working-mom.html</a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>AND</b></div>
<br />
Andrea's primary concern has always been her children. She seemingly admits to cooperating with the Feds to keep custody of her babies. Her full story, including her dealings with the Feds are in her book.<br />

<div>
<br />
Here is the episode of "Working Mom" if you've never seen it. Andrea says, "I wasn't being no stand up person for any of those scumbags." When she faces prison and losing her kids she makes the decision to tell the Feds everything (18:30). By the end of the episode it sounds as though she cooperated for $75,000 and relocation to Pennsylvania.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So did Andrea cooperate, strike a deal, inform on mobsters and talk her husband and brother into cooperating in exchange for money and relocation? Is that flipping? You decide.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">MM’s 2 cents on the matter:</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">I’ve kept silent on this matter because frankly I hold a lot of respect for Andrea Giovino. She’s a woman who had guts, hustle and smarts to do what she needed to do for her family, especially her babies. I am aware that Andrea is big on charity; helping down & out women get on their feet or ensuring children don’t miss out on a holiday.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">I’m sure there is an end game/goal for Brittany Fogarty joining Mob Wives. On production’s end, blonde eye candy and maybe Drita D’avanzo having someone to talk to besides Big Ang who had way bigger fish to fry. Brittany’s goal may be exposure for something bigger. Do I know for sure? No. Do I know the operation of Brittany’s mind? No.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Frankly, I was floored in learning of Brittany Fogarty joining the Mob Wives franchise. For reasons I am not comfortable to share, out of respect for private conversations. For clarity, I’m not referring to any conversation with Brittany.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">My take on Brittany Fogarty in regards to her Mob Wives scenes only:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">She’s seemingly has become Drita’s puppet. It’s comical for me to see her one minute tell Karen, “….no one tells me what to do….” Then see her with Drita slurping up the advice to tell Carla this and Renee that. In conclusion, Karen Gravano isn’t lying about Andrea Giovino giving the Feds information. It’s not a secret. What I don’t understand is the denial about what has been well documented. Oh the irony continues.</span><br />

<b>Another Steakhouse wasted, but I'm getting ahead of myself.</b></div>
<br />
<br />
Carla and Renee go visit Ang now that she is home from the hospital, to keep her spirits up. Carla brings a tray of fish to warm up. Thank God it wasn't her escarole and beans dish. Ang has her hair and makeup done. Karen arrives. Ang is in pain, but wants to cook for them. She tells them the doctors took more of the lung because it was deeper than they thought. She credits Neil for being there for her, sleeping the chair every night. She says it's so painful. They hope she doesn't need chemo. Karen tells them her father was denied early release. She has been stressed out going through this process all year. Karen feels the judge is just denying him because he is Sammy "The Bull" and nothing comes easy for him. They all enjoy Carla's meal. I hope she brought her Prosecco wine to go with it!<br />
<br />
Giselle is turning 8 and all she wants is another puppy. Drita tells Lee she bought her a one and a half pound puppy. Aleeya and Giselle get home from school. Drita hides the puppy in all Giselle's stuff animals on the sofa. At first she can't even see it. She screams when she finally sees the puppy move. Drita is giving her full responsibility for taking care of the dog.<br />
<br />
Brittany is at the park meeting up with Karen. Karen tells her about her visit with her father and how he was denied his early release. Brittany feels Karen has had it worse than she has, living in her father's shadow. The subject of Drita comes up. Again Karen explains how Drita should have come to her if she had an issue, not gone to Brittany. They made a pack at the warehouse not to talk about each other any more. But, of course, Drita is not true to her word and goes to Brittany to talk about her. Karen wishes Brittany would have shut her down and told her to talk to Karen about it. Brittany says she didn't realize they had a 25 year history. Brittany doesn't want to be part of any conflict between Karen and Drita. And Karen says the same way Drita should have gone to her, she thinks Brittany should sit down and talk to Renee and Carla about her issues. Brittany doesn't want to be instigated. Karen says their fathers are friends and she should sit down with the ladies and make this better. Brittany doesn't have a good attitude even though she says she will talk to them. Just what we needed on the show, a Drita wanna be.<br />

Karen is motivated to do something with her father's artwork. She has taken all of it to the curator of a museum to look at. She really wants to show the world there's a different side to her father. The curator is very impressed with is work and the detail. Karen wants to do an exhibit and the curator is willing to show his work. She wants to select the pieces with Karen for a VIP opening. Karen is excited.<br />

Ang is at the doctor for a check up. The doctor says she will be in pain for a while. He goes over her pathology report. He says she had lung cancer, but no lymph nodes were involved so she doesn't need chemo or radiation at this point. She will have to get regular scans to monitor her health. Ang is so happy she wants to go celebrate being cancer free. I am still in shock over Ang's passing. Every medical report that we heard was positive and yet her disease progressed so fast. It's surreal to watch her on the show knowing she is gone.<br />

<b>Who's immature?</b></div>
<br />
Drita meets up with Brittany where she supposedly works, a pastry store. They talk about how great the fashion show went. Brittany fills her in about her meeting with Karen. Drita calls Karen a liar. Drita says Karen was cute when she was younger and got a lot of attention for being daughter the underboss. Drita says she will not talk to her about Karen. Brittany says she is going to talk to Carla and Renee. Drita says Carla is the most immature f*cking person. Well, as long as she doesn't talk about the ladies behind their backs, right? Brittany doesn't want Carla's face in her face giggling. Brittany says they have a stick up their asses because she is friends with Drita. I guess Brittany will never get that the others are trying to warn her to watch her back. They've all been burned in the past. Drita is not friend material. But, she will probably have to learn that lesson the hard way.<br />

Renee goes for another ballroom dance lesson. She enjoys dancing, likes her partner and gets a few laughs out of it.<br />

The day of Sammy's exhibit arrives. It's a full house. Carla and Ang show up. Karina is there. Ang is very impressed with the sketches. Marissa arrives. Ang tells them she is so excited, she is cancer free. No chemo! Carla is so happy to hear Ang's news. They all have a drink. Storm goes over and kisses Karen. He always has her back. He supports her dreams and vision and he supports her supporting her father. Karen says she didn't invited Brittany so the exhibit would be drama free. After meeting her the other day she still has issues with Carla, Renee and Marissa. Ang still thinks this should be resolved with a little sit-down. Carla really doesn't understand how Brittany thinks she is an instigator. Karen wants Brittany to tell them to her face what her problem is. Time to break bread or break heads?<br />

<br />
The women, Karen, Renee, and Carla meet at DeStefano's Steakhouse in Brooklyn, to have a chat with Brittany. What a waste of a good meal. You know this isn't going to end good. Carla is wearing a "bullet" on her necklace and Renee jokingly asks if she is "looking to shoot somebody tonight? Shoot to kill honey." They are waiting for Brittany, who struts in a minute later. Renee wants to resolve their issues out of respect for Karen and Carla really wants to hear what she has to say before she takes a bite of steak. Karen is happy and pleasant, and tells Brittany she was telling the women about the fashion show and what Brittany did a great job. Renee adds her dig, "Sorry we missed it," knowing she wasn't invited on purpose. Brittany says it wasn't personal, she just wanted the experience to be positive. Renee says she was a little insulted.<br />

<b>Renee tries to break it down and explain to Brittany</b></div>
<br />
Renee is annoyed because Karen asked her to accept Brittany and not cause problems, and she went against what she believed in because Karen is her friend. She welcomed her into her home and would have never caused a problem at her event. Brittany responds saying she just didn't want to hear anything about Marissa, her temper, and she feels every time they are together it's been brought up. Brittany implies that she fought with Marissa because of things that Renee and Carla said to her. Renee gets angry. There is no way Brittany is going to blame her or Carla for her wanting to fight Marissa. Brittany starts to mention the things Marissa called her and how Renee and Carla kept bringing it up, like the "flip-flopper" comment. Big Ang walks into the restaurant!<br />

Carla says Angela was the one who said that Marissa called Brittany a flip-flopper, not her. Am I wrong? I love when Carla uses that expression! Ang goes over to sit with the ladies and says she hears a lot of yelling going and wants to know what's up. She wants them to make up and move on, all this arguing is crazy. Carla is glad to see Ang because she wants to clear something up. Ang immediately admits to being the one who said Marissa called Brittany a flip-flopper. Brittany answers they both said it. Brittany asks Carla if she is acting like she didn't say it. Renee and Carla are frustrated. Carla thinks Brittany is dense and can't get it through her head that it wasn't her or Renee who repeated what Marissa said, it was Ang. Brittany says she gets the vibe that Renee and Carla instigated the fight. Carla says that doesn't make sense. Brittany says at the baseball game Carla made a joke about the fight saying that's what happens when you stand up. Carla says she wasn't making a joke. Brittany keeps insisting it's her right to decide who instigated her into wanting to fight Marissa. Carla said she was just trying to give her advice, not laughing. Carla adds, she, Karen and Renee were trying to tell her how to have a conversation with Marissa, not fight with her. Brittany says everyone thinks Drita pumped her up, but she says she felt most aggravated after speaking to Renee and Carla. Sounds like Brittany's mind is made up and no talking, explaining or common sense is going to fix that.<br />

<br />
Karen starts to say maybe this whole thing was a misunderstanding, but Brittany cuts her off saying maybe they just can't handle that she likes Drita. Everyone says it's not about Drita at all. Renee says she doesn't care if Drita drops dead tomorrow. They don't like each other. Karen has a long history of bad blood with her. Renee says before making friends with someone and defending them you should get to know them first. No one cares if she is friends with Drita, that's not the point of this conversation. However, no matter what anyone says, Brittany is stuck on their issue being her friendship with Drita. They insist they don't care if she is friends with Drita. Carla mentions the word teacher. Brittany starts screaming who is my teacher? She turns to Carla and says maybe Drita was your teacher for three years. Carla gets irritated, she doesn't know anything about her friendship with Drita.<br />

Then Brittany says, "This is who I am you can takeout or f*ckin' leave it." Brittany gets up, things get louder. "Teacher, my ass." Everyone gets up. Brittany says to Carla, "you went hard for Drita for three years." Brittany says her friendship with Karen is done. Karen says she wants to tell Brittany something as she leaves. Karen says she should have listened to Renee from the get go. "Who knew Drita would flip this b*tch faster than the Feds flipped her mother?" Renee gets the satisfaction of being right.<br />
<br />
Drita and Brittany meet in the park. Brittany is fed up and she is about to unload it all on Drita. Karen never told her not to like Drita. Drita says they always talk behind her back. Brittany tells her all the things Karen said about Lee in the boutique that ended with "tell her, tell her, tell her." Drita goes ballistic. Drita promises to give Karen the beating of a lifetime. She is going to break Karen's jaw. Karen Gravano is dead, dead, dead. How many times have we heard that threat?<br />

<i>Watching Mob Wives with a heavy heart. It seems surreal that as we are grieving Ang, she is still bigger than life on our screens. Praying for her family. RIP Big Ang</i><br />
<br />
Drita's house. She is complaining about Karen causing problems in her home and being obsessed with Lee. Delusional. She has finished the first draft of her book and is sending it to her agent. I'll believe it when I see it. She asks Giselle if she wants to check it out. Giselle doesn't seem interested. Smart kid. She asks Giselle what she wants for her birthday. She wants another dog. She tells her to ask Lee, she has him wrapped around her finger. Who thinks Drita is really writing a book? Not me. The thought of her sitting at her computer writing down her fake ass stories makes me laugh.<br />
<br />
Renee's house. She sits down with AJ and shows him about three thousand dollars worth of traffic tickets. Whoa! His license is suspended in New Jersey. He pissed in the street and got a citation for $350. Renee is annoyed with his irresponsibility. AJ thinks she needs a hobby. She says he should stop getting tickets so she can afford a hobby. <br />

<b>Brittany spills the beans to Karen</b></div>
<br />
Brittany meets up with Karen at a clothing store. Karen asks her if she invited Renee and Carla to her show. Brittany says no, she didn't want any drama. Karen says Brittany really doesn't understand these women, but she can invite who she wants. Brittany feels she needs to tell Karen about her meeting with Drita because Drita is riled up. Brittany tells Karen that, from what she understood, Marissa told Drita that Karen was bringing up the men. She tells Karen that Drita believes Karen is talking about the men . . . and in particular, "her man, Lee." Karen says, "The b*tch wants to start trouble. I'm not bringing up the men, B*tch." Brittany isn't clear exactly how the conversation went down between Drita and Marissa, but she does know everything was fine between Karen and Drita at the show and now Drita is flipping out. Karen is clear that Marissa said Drita was bringing up the men (which we all saw last week). <b><i>Marissa said, "Drita was running her mouth in regards to her man reaching out to my man telling us girls to play nice."</i> </b>Brittany says she just wanted to give Karen the heads up because Drita was aggravated and there was some name calling, and Drita also said Karen was still hung up on Lee. Oh please! Let's get real! The only person on this planet hung up on Lee is Drita! Have you seen this dynamic duo in action? If not check out this <b><a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2016/02/mob-wives-girl-fight-action-with-drita.html">recent blog, video included.</a> </b>Then you tell me who is "hung up" on Lee!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
But now Karen is getting aggravated! She says "I'm done with this little pig b*tch!" Karen says she isn't hung up on her husband. She has a man and Lee could never be half the man he is (in more ways than one!). Karen doesn't give a f*ck about Lee. Karen says Drita is obsessed with her, she wants to do everything she does. She wants to write a book and she is obsessed about the relationship Karen had with Lee. Karen says Drita should keep her name out of her mouth and she won't have a problem. If she keeps her name in her mouth then she and her b*tch ass husband will have a problem. "I know way too many secrets, B*tch!" Oh Karen please write another book and put all your secrets in there! BEST SELLER! Karen explains some history to Brittany. Twenty years ago when Sammy was in the witness protection program, Lee was making visits to go see him in Arizona. Her father was fighting with everyone in the New York mob. He told Lee if you want to be around my daughter you are going to have to prove to me what type of man you are and what camp you are in. When Lee couldn't take the heat, Lee ran. He high-tailed it out of there and he never turned around. And then he asked Karen not to speak to her father and she told him to go f*ck himself and she left. He was scared of what he was going to have to do, he was scared of the situation. He knows that in his f*cking heart. Now Brittany is really squirming because she feels she just started a war by telling Karen what Drita said. And she did. Karen says this has escalated to a point where no one is going to be able to shut it down. She wants to bring men into it, we can bring men into it. "Her husband is a f*cking swindler, he's a snake, he's a rat, he's a bubble gum gangster, he's a fake. He can't even look in the mirror, he has no face. He's a b*tch too. That's why I saw him walking out of the dry cleaners the other day and he couldn't even look me in the eye. B*tch, your husband's a p*ssy."<br />

<i>Karen turns to the cameramen </i>"You can film that mother-f*ckers!" "Your husband's a p*ssy. Tell her that. Tell her that. Tell her that . . ." I don't think we have ever seen Karen this angry in any other season. Better hire a few more body guards Jenn.<br />
<br />
Ang's House. Ang is doing laundry and Neil arrives with a bouquet of roses to apologize and talk. She tells him she doesn't want that junk. She said she was scared to go to the doctor. She had to go alone to find out she had lung cancer. She was hurt. Neil said she never asks or tells him anything. He said he went to all her appointments and he had no idea this one was so serious. He thought is as just for blood tests. Ang feels overwhelmed and Neil isn't doing enough. He tells her he is sorry and wants to come back home. He wants to be their for her to support her during her medical condition. Her health comes first for now. They make up. Watching this scene was heartbreaking. To be going through this serious health crisis, being overwhelmed and terrified, and continue on with the show in front of millions of people is unimaginable to me. I don't know where Ang found the strength and courage to put it all out there.<br />
<br />
Carla, Karen and Renee are at the park playing bocci balls. Karen says she isn't in a good place. She starts to tell them about Drita, but wants to wait for Marissa because her name came up. Karen tells them about Brittany's fashion show and how Renee and Carla weren't invited. She says she met up with Brittany in the city and told them everything Drita said about her. Marissa says all she did was ask Drita if she was the one talking about their men speaking on the phone. Carla gets angry and wants Brittany to stay in her lane. Renee agrees that Brittany should mind her own business. Karen is done with Drita. They weren't supposed to talk about each other. They made a truce at the warehouse and she never sticks to her word. Karen says Drita is the laughing stock of New York City with that husband of hers.Karen got that right. Karen drops a little bomb . . . Drita got a group people arrested because she was f*cking someone and Karen adds you want to talk about men? Let's get started. Renee says this is a f*cking 911 problem now. Hire some more bodyguards Jenn.<br />
<br />
Back to the doctor's office. Neil goes with Ang to the doctor to discuss the lung cancer surgery. The doctor describes the procedure. First they will remove the cancerous lesion and then the top half of the lung where it was located. If it's in the lymph nodes then she will need chemotherapy. Ang is scared. She already had too much surgery and doesn't want any more.<br />
<br />
Renee takes AJ's advice and goes for some dancing lessons. She says she was always good at dancing. The instructor wants her to look at him not her feet. She has to trust him, he says. She says then you are f*cked because I trust no one. Renee has some great moves! Dancing With The Stars are you watching??? Renee is having so much fun, she should have done this years ago. <br />
<br />
Carla and Ang go furniture shopping. Ang is the Queen decorator and Carla meds her advice. Ang tells her about the lung surgery and how anxious she is. Carla says Ang has gone through a lot. Ang tells her about Karen flipping out. The whole story comes out about Drita trying to blame Karen for talking about the men. Ang thought this was all resolved and they came to a truce. Carla is angry that Brittany talked sh*t about Karen to Drita when she brought her into the group. Ang thinks Marissa and Brittany should mind their own business. Carla and Ang think that Drita and Karen need to talk this out. They both feel there will be a war if they don't hash it out. Hey Jenn, hired another dozen bodyguards!<br />
<br />
Karen's House. Karen wants to spend quality time with Karina and put the Drita BS to the side. Karen takes out all the packages her father sent her with his drawings. He spent 7 years in solitary confinement and spent the time creating art. His work is amazing. It kills Karen that Karina doesn't know her father as well as she should. Karen wants to show his work to the public because they they only know one side of him, as the most notorious underboss in the New York mob.<br />
<br />
Ang drops in at Drita's store for lipstick. She tells her she is having another surgery. Drita tells her not to think anything negative. Drita knows she will survive and come out on top. Ang tells her there is a big problem brewing between her and Karen. Drita feels Karen has a hard on for her and her marriage. Delusions. Ang tells her that Carla says Karen isn't talking about anything. Drita is screaming about people getting in her business. She is flipping out and prepared to attack. Drita says she has been too nice for too long and they are going to be snapped in half. She was nice? She holds up a lipstick and screams, this is Carla! Looks like Carla has been promoted from mothball to lipstick. Drita doesn't want anyone talking about Lee. Next time Lee is mentioned out of Karen's mouth she will make her eat it and put her back in witness protection. Those are some mighty big fighting words! Jenn put the bodyguards number on speed dial!<br />

<b>Art Class anyone?</b></div>
<br />
Karen wants to help Ang get her mind off all the negativity. Karen set up an "art experience" for the girls as a distraction. It works! There is a teacher and she says they will be drawing a nude model. Woo Hoo! They girls all have smiles on their faces. They ask Ang to come up and ask her to help the model, Kurt, take his pants off. Ang doesn't hesitate for a second. Bad Bing, bada boom Kurt is exposed and so is little Kurt! Kurt poses and Carla wants to know what they are drawing? Ang says "his peeshee." They keep talking about his "peeshee," and then instructor tells them there are no bad drawings so they don't have to "rub" anything out. Ang is having a great time. Karen finds out she doesn't have her father's artistic talent. I think Karen did a great job all the same. Maybe I will do a blog analyzing these drawings. What do you say?<br />

<br />
It's the morning of Ang's surgery. Neil and Ang drive to the city to NYU Langone. Her mind is overwhelmed. All she can think about is her children and grandchildren. She is the glue that holds them together. Will she ever see them again? Ang is so glad to have Neil there supporting her. She can't do this by herself. She says she had a full life, but she isn't done here. She wants to see her grandchildren grow up. Neil tells her she'll be fine. <i>This hits very close to home for me. I'm in tears because I know exactly how Ang feels at this moment. We have to find a cure for this disease in our lifetimes so our children will never know what's it's like to lose any one to cancer. RIP Ang.</i><br />

This morning Angela "Big Ang" Raiola was laid to rest. She is gone, but will never be forgotten by those of us who were blessed to know her. Ang left us all with some important life lessons. Live life to the fullest. Put your family first. Treasure your friends. Don't fight, life is short. Forgive others. Don't stay angry or carry a grudge. Eat cake. Protect children. Spread love and laughter wherever you go. That's what Ang would want to leave us as her legacy. In her own unique way Ang helped change the world for the better. Whether you knew her in real life, or just from watching the show, it was clear to everyone that Ang had a heart of gold and everyone loved her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ang took time from her family to go on Dr. Oz, days before her passing, to help others. Her message was: If you smoke, stop; if you haven't started, don't. Please take her words to heart and quit today.</div>

Karen and Carla were at Ang's bedside hours before she passed. They talk about her final moments, the woman she was, and how they found comfort in the way she was loved by millions. They say Ang wouldn't want people to grieve her passing, but to celebrate her life. </div>

In private moments, sharing our grief over the loss of Ang, a friend of mine posted this picture of Ang, saying it was her favorite. I had never seen it before, but it felt so perfect at the moment. To see Ang in this way, looking so free and happy, with her wings spread and ready to soar. It gave me a little peace and comfort. </div>

<b>This is how I'll remember Ang</b></div>
<br />
Angela Raiola, "Big Ang," passed away during the night surrounded by her loved ones. She was only 55 and taken from this world much too soon. The outpouring of grief in social media was like none I have seen before. Ang was no ordinary television reality star, she touched millions of lives and many of them were devastated to hear she was losing her battle with cancer last night.<br />
<br />
It seems like it was just yesterday that Big Ang, and her bigger than life personality, first graced our television screens. She was instantly loved by fans of the show. No one could get enough of her. Even people who never watched Mob Wives, fell in love with her and her unique sense humor. Big Ang was a "peacemaker," she didn't like arguing or conflict. Everything about Ang was BIG, but the biggest part of her, the part we couldn't see . . . was her heart.<br />
<br />
Ang loved her family more than anything and she fought this disease with everything she had. It was a long hard year for her. Now her battle is over and she is at peace. She is a special angel in heaven looking down and protecting her loved ones.<br />

Last night, as I watch my Twitter timeline fill up with sadness, I began to see fans who loved Ang putting up their own pictures. Pictures they had taken with Ang when they met her. Here are just a few of them:<br />

I went to an event with my daughter, who does not watch Mob Wives. She went to meet Jennifer Graziano, the brains behind the show, but the first person we met that night was Big Ang. My daughter was excited. She and her friends love Big Ang. I asked Ang if she would mind taking a picture with my daughter. Ang put down her fur coat and took my daughter, who only came up to her elbow, over to where there were some steps. She wanted my daughter to stand on a step to make for a better picture. It meant a lot to us.</div>

Ang's family issued a statement immediately following her passing.</div>

In her last days Ang never gave up. I read how she insisted on going to film the Reunion Show just a few days ago because she wanted to finish what she started. I heard she looked great, but was only able to stay for five or six hours because she got too tired. I'll be thinking of that when I watch those shows. </div>

Ang's heart was so big she even agreed to go on Dr. Oz to try and help people with her story. She told the viewers: : "If you smoke, quit; if you haven't started, don't." Dr. Oz said her words would make more of an impact than anything he could have said. If you missed Ang's appearance on the show you can watch it here: <a href="http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/inside-mob-wives-star-big-ang-s-cancer-crisis-and-her-fight-stay-alive?video_id=4756924114001">Big Ang fighting for her life.</a> Have tissues handy.</div>

Ang was greatly loved by all who knew her. That reminds me of an expression that I didn't quite get until this moment: The more love you give away, the more love comes back to you. And for Ang there was nothing she loved more than her family, they were everything to her.</div>

<i>Note: I was in the middle of recapping the show when ET released false information regarding Ang's passing. Needless to say it was shocking and evoked a lot of emotion in me and so many of her fans. My Twitter feed was full of grief stricken posts and concern. I tried to keep track of the show and the updates on Ang's condition. I have written a blog in tribute to her memory this morning. I feel Ang is more than just her illness. Most articles today will focus on her surgeries and the progression of her disease. I chose to focus on Ang, her life and the outpouring of love for this sweet woman. Here is the link to that blog: <a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2016/02/mob-wives-loving-memorial-to-big-ang.html">Loving Memorial to Big Ang.</a> May Ang rest in peace.</i><br />

<br />
Coney Island. Karen, Carla and Renee are at a Cyclones minor league game. Big Ang shows up. Renee is concerned for Angela and her test results. Ang says the game will help cheer her up. Drita and Brittany show up too. Drita is impressed with Renee's plan to watch the game. Brittany says she is ready to move forward from all the BS after talking with Karen. Renee asks if everyone wants to go sit outside. Renee tells Brittany she looks good and asks if she is behaving. Brittany plays dumb. Brittany says you want me to control my anger, but Marissa hit me first. Carla thinks Drita is in Brittany's ear. Brittany and Drita say the same words. Renee tells Brittany that Marissa thought Brittany was going to hit her, she was standing over her in her face talking about fighting. Renee says Brittany has an attitude and is immature and has a lot to learn. Renee tells her, as grown women, they were trying to make the situation calmer. Renee feels Brittany won't move past the petty BS. But Brittany says she isn't a child, she is an adult, and she is over Carla and Renee. Carla asks Drita if someone stands over you and talks about fighting you're not going to hit her? Drita says of course I'm going to hit her. There you have it, Drita basically says Marissa did the right thing. Brittany says when Marissa wants to finish what she started she can come meet her.<br />
<br />
Marissa is at the salon. She starts talking about Brittany and how she is easily influenced by Drita. Brittany is young and immature. She says she expected to get along with Drita because their men are friends. She thought Drita would have her back, but no she is defending Brittany instead. Drita has been "egging on the troll" from day one. Marissa wants Drita to prove she likes her.<br />

Manhattan. Ang is going to see a specialist about lung cancer and she is full of anxiety. Neil couldn't make it because he is working. The doctor is going to get her recent CT scans. She says there is a nodule that is growing and looks like early stage lung cancer. Ang says she has already been through hell and back and she is devastated. Ang feels she needs someone there with her. The doctor assures her it very early stage and potentially curable, but it must come out. Ang is scared. It's a nightmare. She is angry because Neil isn't there with her.<br />
<br />
Brittany is at a photo shoot for current pictures for her portfolio. Guess who arrives? Drita. Drita does her make-up. Drita sympathizes with Brittany against all the other women. Brittany says Carla is an idiot. Drita says Renee and Carla love the ambush. Brittany is tired of hearing their opinions. Brittany thinks Renee and Carla are instigators who think they can make the rules.<br />

Karen, Carla and Marissa meet for drinks. Of course the subject of Brittany comes up. Karen tells them about her talk and how she said Karen was disloyal to her. Karen says Drita makes other people do her dirty work. Marissa is pissed because she heard word on the street that Drita claims Lee reached out to O.Z. and told him the girls should play nice. Meanwhile O.Z. is on probation and isn't allowed to talk to felons and, if he talks to another felon, he will go back to prison.<br />

<br />
Marissa says no way that conversation happened. She is angry that Drita is putting her man in jeopardy. Karen says the best thing to do is confront Drita and if she is in the wrong she will want to fight. We see some old clips of Drita and Karen, they are friends and hugging and then Drita tells Karen they stopped being friends. You can see in the clip how Karen was shocked by Drita's words. Marissa feels she has to speak with Drita about this so called conversation the men had.<br />

Drita's house. Ang drops by for a visit. She tells Drita she went to NYU to see the specialist for the lung and the doctor told her she thinks is's cancer. Drita hugs her. Ang says everything is happening at once, it's all crashing down. Ang doesn't want to stress out her kids so she isn't telling them anything. Ang turns to Drita. She says Neil is an asshole, she had to go to a doctor all alone to find out she has lung cancer. Drita says Ang has issues asking for help. Ang is done with Neil.<br />

<b>Good question Carla! When does it end?</b></div>
<br />
Carla and Renee meet at a bar. They talk about the girls. Renee says Brittany is a kid and wants to fight. <a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2016/02/mob-wives-girl-fight-action-with-drita.html">Drita is a mother of two and she wants to fight</a>. Yes, apparently Drita wants to fight on AND off the show. Carla says her kids just turned 13. Joe threw them party for their birthday. She wasn't invited, but she told them she was going to stop by. Her son told her she couldn't crash the party. She feels a distance between her and her kids. They don't do anything as a family since Joe got married. She says he should never forget while he was in prison it was her and her family that raised his kids. Renee advises her to call Joe and talk about it.<br />
<br />
Marissa meets Drita at a bar to hash things out. Drita is shocked that Marissa is confrontational. Drita says she likes Brittany, but she loves O.Z. At th end of the day Marissa feels Drita should have her back over Brittany. Drita says she has nothing to do with Brittany and Marissa's issues. Drita says she does not coach Brittany and, if anything, she told her don't fight, talk. Marissa says she heard that Drita made a remark about Lee calling O and telling him to tell the girls to play nice. Drita says it never happened. Drita says it wasn't Carla or Renee, it could only be Karen who is always talking about Lee. Drita swears she would never say anything like that ever. Drita thinks Karen is obsessed with her marriage and Lee and blames her for this rumor.<br />
<br />
Carla needs to talk to Joe. She calls. She says the kids enjoyed the party. She says she didn't like it that her son said she shouldn't crash the party by coming. Carla feels they are divided as a family. He thinks the kids are afraid how she is going to react or how Rachel is going to react if they are together. Carla wants them to all do something together, including Rachel, to show the kids no one has to be excluded. They have to know she is welcome as their mother.<br />

<br />
Drita and Brittany talk about her pictures. Brittany wants Drita and Ang to go to her show. She doesn't want Renee and Carla, but she may ask Karen. Drita tells her about her talk with Marissa. Drita says Marissa was asking about a conversation their men had talking about the girls playing nice. Drita swears the rumor was started by Karen. She thinks Karen is miserable because Lee is happily married. Drita feels Karen is running her mouth about Lee, she is a stalker, she is obsessed with Drita's marriage, that they are together and happy. Karen is not an Exe, she's a Why! Drita says she is trying to be mature and not fight. But, if Karen talks about someone she loves she will snap her neck.<br />
<br />
Ang's house. She hasn't seen Neil since her doctor's appointment. She is so angry she had to go to the appointment alone. He says he has been working from 6 am to midnight. She says she never sees any money. She doesn't want him around her any more. She wants him out of her house. She just wants to focus on her health. He says he isn't leaving with six dollars in his pocket. He leaves.<br />
<br />
Brittany's show. Karen, Ang are there to support Brittany. In comes Drita with a huge attitude looking to crack Karen's jaw for talking about her and Lee. Ang tells Drita she threw Neil out. Karen sees Drita in the corner giving her the side eye. Karen doesn't care, she stays away from Drita. Drita keeps talking bout hitting Karen in the face. Brittany is up on stage. She looks amazing. Drita vows not to do anything to ruin her night, but next time Karen talks about her husband she will drop the b*tch. Drita is delusional if she thinks Karen has anything but disgust for Lee? Have you see him in action recently? I am at a loss for words, but I'm sure you can come up with some of your own.<br />

<b>Marissa got a kick in</b></div>
<br />
The fight between Marissa and Brittany continues with a mini-army of security guards separating the two. They are fighting over nothing says Karen. Brittany makes attempt after attempt to free herself from the guards to attack Marissa. Carla says Brittany "got popped in the forehead." All the ladies try to stop the fight. Brittany calls Renee "a twat" for trying to end the fight. Nice. Marissa is hot under the collar about Brittany getting in her face, while Brittany says she will wait there all night if that's what it takes to fight it out. Drita says she can't fight there with all these people around, it's not like it's a parking lot. So Brittany wants to take it to the parking lot. <a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2016/02/mob-wives-girl-fight-action-with-drita.html"><b>Where did I see a fight in a parking lot recently?

Karen says Drita acts like Brittany's coach. Marissa says she tried to talk nice, but Brittany was standing and kept getting in her face. This is true, Marissa could not get a word in over Brittany's shouting "fight, fight, fight." Marissa feels threatened and pops her in the forehead. Fight begins! Karen is annoyed with Brittany for not respecting her enough to just have a conversation. After they are separated, Marissa yells over to Brittany that she doesn't want to know Brittany's family because they might call the cops. Marissa tells Karen she is sorry about the fight, she tried to be civil. Karen doesn't blame her. All the blame is on Brittany. She came ready and looking for a fight. Drita understands Brittany. Of course she does, "violence is the answer." Karen says when you get up in someone's face they are going to come out swinging. Carla agrees with Marissa. Karen feels Drita is manipulating Brittany. Marissa says at the end of the day she popped Brittany in the face, she got in a good kick, she came out in tact, and Brittany got thrown out like the trash she is. All's well that ends well if your hair and your boobs are in tact.<br />
<br />
And in this corner we have "Rock'em Sock'em" Drita D'Avanzo who is meeting Ang at a building that used to be an old strip club. She is trying to bring back memories for her book. Now this same place is a restaurant. They go in and check out all the remodeling that went on over the years. Drita said she has been shot at and had guns in her face back in the day. Her father must be so proud. Lee used to go there too, but she didn't know him then. Lee doesn't want her to write the book because he closes the door to the past and never looks back. She says he won't read her book. Ang tells her don't let Lee get in her way.<br />

Marissa goes to see Ang and meet her for drinks. She wants to talk to her about Brittany. Ang tells her she has been going for tests for her health. Ang asks what happened between her and Brittany. Marissa says she walked in pretty and walked out pretty. Marissa says Brittany came with her hair in a braid and kept talking about fighting. Marissa explains when Brittany stood up, she defended herself. Ang says Marissa threw the first punch. Marissa says Ang seems to side with Brittany. Ang shouldn't blame her because of the way Brittany provoked her. Brittany makes her want to hit her. She wants Ang to warn Brittany she will never get the best of her.<br />

<br />
Drita meets with Brittany and Andrea, Brittany's mother. Brittany is pissed off about what happened with Marissa and she wants Drita to tell her mother what went down. Brittany said Marissa threw the first punch, it landed but it didn't hurt her. Drita says she is a fighter and a fighter should be able to fight her f*ckin' battles. They are both pissed off at Karen, who was mad because Brittany was looking at Drita. Why can't she look at Drita? Drita says Karen should have called Brittany to see how she is doing. That's loyalty. Wait, what? Look who's talking? Drita is giving friendship advice now? Friends call each other? Did I just hear that? Is that why Drita called Karen to tell her she married Lee? And when "Carla disappeared off the face of the earth," did Drita call and ask how she was doing? Meanwhile, Andrea gets herself all worked up and starts yelling that their families go back 25 years and Karen doesn't have her daughter's back? Respect is earned. Karen should have been in her daughter's corner. They feel Karen chose Marissa's side. Maybe if they watch the episode ten times they will all see that Karen told both girls to talk it out of respect for her, Marissa was trying to talk, Brittany was agitated, not listening and standing over Marissa in her face yelling over her. Oh well.<br />

<b>Ang gets the bad news, all is not well</b></div>
<br />
Ang was called in by the doctor to go over test results. Neil goes with her and he always supports her. The doctor says they saw suspicious nodules in her lung and they have the potential to be cancerous. He wants a specialist in the field to do a biopsy. Ang is disgusted and says she will not go through any more surgeries. She would rather die. She insists she can't do this any more. The doctor insists she needs to take care of her health. She is worried, speechless and scared.<br />
<br />
Carla and Karen meet up at Carla's new house. Boxes are all over the place. Every room has to be painted. Karen likes it. Carla wants her to see the before and after pictures. Back to the fight. Carla thinks Brittany was out of control. Carla says Marissa wasn't there to fight in a bikini and heels. Brittany came ready for a fight. Karen told her she wanted them to talk, but Drita pumped up Brittany so much and manipulated her into fight mode. Karen says Drita is trying to put a wedge into her relationship with Brittany. Carla doesn't think that Brittany had any reason to get that upset. Karen says she asked Marissa to talk and she was prepared to talk.<br />
<br />
Drita is at her store, talking to prize package Lee on the phone. She tells him about the old strip club she visited. She says Lee would chill there back in the day with three girls at his table. She brings up her book and once again he is disgusted. She wants his support. He is stressing her out by not having her back. He doesn't want her talking about it. She wants him to be happy for her. All of a sudden Lee changes his attitude about the book. Really? Are we supposed to take this whole book thing and Lee's attitude seriously? The best thing I have heard about this book is when Karen told Drita she should start her book, "The day after I met Karen Gravano . . . "<br />

<b>Brittany questions Karen's loyalty</b></div>
<br />
Brittany is meeting up with Karen at a diner, questioning her loyalty and friendship. Brittany seems agitated right from the start. Brittany says she is disappointed. She wanted to fight that girl. She says everyone pumped her up and then told her not to fight. She feels Karen picked a side and it's with Marissa. Brittany feels Karen has no loyalty to her. Karen is pissed. She welcomed her to her home, she squashed the situation between her and Renee and she tried to resolve the problem between her and Marissa. Karen asks where is her loyalty? Karen asked her to have a conversation and talk it out, not fight. Brittany says her loyalty to Karen doesn't extend to all the other women. Karen tells her that she asked the same thing of Renee, to respect her enough to leave Brittany alone and she did. Karen said she asked her to sit down and talk, but she was standing over Marissa and ready to fight. Karen says Drita is not Brittany's friend, she is Karen's enemy. Karen says she manipulates people. Brittany says she likes Drita and feels she is the only one who had her back. Karen says she is going to put this behind them and will continue her friendship with both girls. Brittany says she doesn't trust Karen 100%. Karen says the relationship is tarnished and she will keep an eye on her. It's so ironic that Brittany questions Karen's loyalty over that of flip flopping Drita. Maybe she should have watched all the previous seasons before aligning with the "we're not friends like that anymore" Drita?<br />

<br />
Ang is meeting with Karen and Renee. She tells them about her CT scan and the spot on her lungs which could be cancer. She says she can't even think about more surgery. She is scared and worried about dying. Ang starts crying, it's heartbreaking. She says everyone in her family relies on her and she doesn't want to worry them so she keeps everything to herself. Karen says you can't be strong for everyone all the time. Karen says this puts everything into perspective, and all the ridiculous fighting over petty Bull Sh*t. Ang says she is drained and mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted.<br />

<strike>DUDE</strike> DRITA <strike>DOES NOT</strike> LOOKS LIKE A LADY.<br />
<br />
I love <strike>the Mob Wives</strike> God<strike>s.</strike> Early this morning Undabawse asked me if I saw the videos. I replied, “What videos?” Well I get to watch an angry man tell a woman to, “…suck a d*#$…” over a parking spot. Honestly I’ve told people to, “suck a diseased d!@# “ for much less. I know I should be ashamed of myself.<br />
<br />
**shrugs**<br />
<br />
Anywhooooo, I think it’s Lee D’Avanzo. Please note, I think as I’ve never sucked his<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"> pickle</span></b>. The balding man makes a call and addresses someone as Drit. Could this be Lee calling his boo kitten over to beatdown a woman over a verbal disagreement? Now that’s a winner to hitch your wagon to ain’t it?<br />
<br />

<br />
Now I cannot 100% type that it’s either one of the D’Avanzo’s. However, I would bet $20 that it is <span style="font-size: medium;">indeed the</span><span style="font-size: large;"> sweet, role model of a Staten Island dynamic duo due to the language and the <strike>God </strike>awful attire the stick figure is wearing. If that isn’t Drita gear I don’t know what the Hell is…..</span><br />
<br />
Is it Wednesday? It sure in the stoop is and I’ll be watching Mob Wives tonight to get a glimpse of my favorites Renee Graziano and Karen Gravano.<br />
<br />
Hey JENNIFER, can Love Majewski and Ramona Rizzo get some air time? I mean really it is the last season. VH1 is the network to watch tonight.<br />
<br />
P.S. While I was at work TMZ has shared that Drita D’Avanzo has been arrested. Well surprise, surprise…..<br />

<b>Drita has to come</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Drita struts into the warehouse where the other four ladies have been sitting and waiting since last week. Drita wants the girls to "stop poking the f*cking lion." I guess that's her new persona. I remember when she was a tiger. Renee says the mood of the whole room changed and got dark when Drita entered. Carla starts by saying they were all very good friends at one time in their lives. Karen says that why they are all there because they were friends. Carla says she knows Drita has a problem with her, but Drita isn't saying what it is. Carla says she noticed it when Drita walked out of Renee's Party. Drita thinks that Karen making up with Renee is not normal. Carla says then she heard the whole thing at the parade when Love said something about Drita. Drita says she told Love don't think I'll be ok if you hit Carla in front of me. Ang asks why would you care about Love? Carla yells it's not about Love it's about the f*cking friendship and that's why we are all here to establish the f*cking friendship! Carla says I don't care what she said you said, "you should have said you aren't hitting her whether I'm there or not. But you didn't." And then Carla adds she told Drita something in confidence and she found out she told Ang. Drita says she told Ang because she was worried about her. Renee wants the two of them to admit they were hurt. Drita says the last person that should be trying to get us together is Renee.<br />

<br /></div>
Drita is upset that Renee and Carla made up when they hated each other. Renee doesn't understand how Drita doesn't get that she and Carla have been friends for 30 years, got into a fight and made up. Drita wants to know what Renee thinks a friend is. Renee explains. Renee calls out Drita for saying she is the core of all the problems. Renee says she is sick of Drita picking on her. Drita says Renee fought with everyone. Karen says Drita fought with everyone. Drita admits she was wrong for saying Renee is the cause of all the problems. Renee says they all have issues bigger than what is going in this room and wants to get to a resolution so they can all be around each other. Renee apologizes for her part. Carla says she was hurt by Drita saying "we aren't friends like that any more." Carla says she considered Drita a good friend. Drita apologizes. They all agree to leave everything in that room and not talk sh*t about each other any more. Everyone is happy. Drita never wants to hear anyone talked about her after this sit down. Frankly, I didn't see any real resolution. I heard a lot of talking over each other, a couple of apologies that came out of nowhere and a "resolution." It was almost like a magic trick that you watch, don't know what happens, but in the end the rabbit comes out of the hat. Hmmmm. Well it's only episode 5 so maybe this resolution will dissolve?<br />

Renee, AJ and Andrea wearing fur coats at minus 5 degrees. Renee wants the kids home with her after she paid for a medium to check out the ghosts. She also wants them to get engaged. Renee is going to bribe Andrea with some of her own bling and AJ with a Rolex. They agree to stay there part time. Renee will settle for that.<br />
<br />
Marissa and her boyfriend's sister, August, go to a jean shop. Apparently O.Z.'s birthday is coming up. Marissa tells her about the girls, Karen and Renee. Then she tells her about Brittany who is a flip flopper and hangs with Drita. She doesn't like Brittany, but if she wants to bring the tiger out of her she will get mauled.<br />

The OG girls go out for drinks and in walks Brittany. Bada Bing Bada Boom. Ang brings up Marissa and tells Brittany Marissa said she is a flip flopper. Carla explains the flip flopping remark is about when they were in the Hamptons and Carla told her Drita said "they weren't friends like that any more." Brittany had plenty to say about it. But, at Ang's party, she hung out with Drita the whole time like they were best friends. Renee says Marissa was thinking Brittany's loyalty should be to Karen. Brittany says she is loyal to Karen. Brittany is fed up with Marissa always talking about her to the these women trying to cause trouble for her. She's always in her business. Renee thinks they should talk it out, it's not that serious. Karen feels she is in a weird position. Brittany's father and her father have a long relationship and she has history with Marissa, so she is caught in the middle.<br />
<br />
Carla calls her kids Joseph and Carmen to help her pack. She is moving out of her house she has been in for 13 years. It's too big for her to maintain alone. She says there are so many memories in the house, but she has to move on to better things. Carla calls Joe, her ex, because the kids are acting up. He is really no help.<br />
<br />
Marissa and Carla are waiting for Karen and Drita to join them at a restaurant. Carla says she closed on both houses and she is ready to move. Everyone sits down to chat and they are all happy and cool with each other. Marissa throws the "lush" word around for a few laughs, but it gets Drita's attention. Drita wants know what her issue with Brittany is? Why is she calling her a lush and flip flopper? Marissa explains why she called her a flip flopper, she's talking about Drita behind her back one minute and then she is best friends with her the next. Drita points out that Marissa says she doesn't care what Brittany is doing, but she cares enough to talk about her. Karen feels caught in the middle. Drita tells her Brittany said Marissa back paddled on what she said.<br />
<br />
Big Ang is visiting Renee and she shows her how she redecorated AJ's room for him and his girlfriend. Ang isn't thrilled with what she sees. She hates the colors. Renee says she smoked a joint and decorated. Ang says "I could tell." Ang decides she has to take over and spruce it up a little to make it nice. Ang tells her don't smoke pot or hang anything ever again.<br />
<br />
Karen and Karina go to the salon. Karen tries to spend time with her daughter whenever she can. She has grown up so fast. Karen is very proud of Karina for how well she adjusted to living in New York. Karina thanks her for making her stick it out, now she loves New York. Karina is pursuing a modeling career and it's good for her confidence. Karen tells her how Brittany and Marissa don't get along. They both like Brittany, but Karen wants them to solve their issues.<br />

Another get together at a bar with Brittany, Marissa, Renee, Karen, Carla, Drita, Ang. Brittany is going there with an attitude, ready to fight Marissa and it won't take much to set her off. Brittany arrives and the other ladies are trying to talk Brittany down. Ang and Drita decide take her to another table to talk to her. But Brittany is already fed up with Marissa and ready for a fight. While they are alone Drita tells Brittany that Marissa said "Brittany better be monotone with me." Brittany gets even more agitated. She wants to kick her in the face. She already said too much. Karen says she brought Brittany into the group and wants her to respect her enough to just talk. Karen doesn't like it that they took Brittany off to another table because it looks like they are creating sides, conquering and dividing. Karen goes over and tells Brittany she wants them to squash it in a mature way because she is in the middle. Karen wants her to hear what Marissa has to say. Brittany tells her to "get the f*ck out of here." Brittany is not in the mood to talk. Marissa arrives decked out in her bathing suit and cover-up. Not exactly fighting attire.<br />

<br />
Brittany tells Ang and Drita when they left the Hamptons they had an understanding for Marissa to keep her name out of her mouth. Ang, trying to calm Brittany down, points out Marissa is not dressed to fight. Brittany says she came in flats with her hair in a braid and she is ready for a fight. Marissa says it's hilarious they had to pull that rabid b*tch aside like she is foaming at the mouth. Karen tries to get them to talk it out respectfully. Marissa agrees. They finally get Marissa and Brittany together at the same table alone to talk. Karen wants them to have a one on one to talk it out. Brittany immediately asks Marissa what the f*ck her problem is? Marissa says she doesn't have a problem. Brittany confronts her with everything she has been saying about her, including flip-flopper and cheerleader. Marissa says she didn't say cheerleader and tries to explain what she did say. Brittany isn't letting her talk. Brittany calls Renee over to verify what Marissa said. Renee says Marissa never said cheerleader, she did. Brittany tells her you got a problem with me because we could fight. Within seconds Brittany lunges at Marissa and everyone else jumps in to separate them.<br />

<br />
In episode 4 Karen Gravano says she is fed up and tired of the Gottis pointing fingers at her father, Sammy Gravano, for what happened years ago. She says, they never take responsibility for what John Gotti did. When Victoria Gotti, Jr. was on Mob Wives, she mentioned the "Sammy Deal" which she described as cooperating for lighter sentence. And recently, when Karen tried to get her father out under a new early release law, Victoria Gotti, Sr. said Sammy should have gotten a life sentence for violating his deal. Karen has wanted to tell the real story of what happened between her father and John Gotti for years. She says she has the facts to back her up. There are FBI tapes to back her up. There are dozens of articles and books about what happened that led up to Sammy Gravano accepting a plea deal. Sammy says he was prepared to go to jail for life, but after hearing the FBI Gotti tapes and thinking about it for a year, he finally agreed to testify. All of this spilled over to Twitter Friday, and here is what happened:<br />

Karen is 100% right, the history between these two families is too long to deal with on social media in small tweet bites. This requires a real sit down. I don't know how many times Karen has said she would love to address these issues and put all the facts on the table. In Sammy Gravano's 1997 interview with Diane Sawyer, he tells her what happened and why he finally decided to cooperate. Diane Sawyer is professional journalist. She did her homework before the interview. I believe that if Sammy said anything that was not based on truth, she certainly would have challenged it. The explanation starts at the <b>46 minute mark</b>, but the entire historic interview is well worth watching. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, such a sit down between the daughters of Gravano and Gotti would be epic and every smart television network would probably be in a bidding war for the rights to produce it and air it. Maybe the Gottis should take Karen up on her offer if they believe they are right? There may be plenty of money to be made for all involved and the truth can finally come out once and for all. Maybe we can even convince Diane Sawyer to come out of retirement to moderate?<br />
<br />

<b>Brittany in true Mob Wife form!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
We just got around to listening to Brittany Fogarty's interview with AfterBuzz TV Mob Wives Aftershow which took place after episode 4, "Flip-Floppers and Party Hoppers," aired.<br />
<br />
After a little chit chat about the recent blizzard, her modeling, her boyfriend and some family talk they get around to the talking about the show. Brittany feels that the other mob wives don't respect what she has to say because she is the youngest at 25, and doesn't understand. She says that they can't wrap their heads around the fact that someone younger than they are can see through them. Brittany says, her mother, <a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-married-mobster-giovinos-working-mom.html"><b>Andrea Giovino</b></a>, always put her kids first. No matter how difficult life got, Brittany says her mother was a strong woman who never let them see how upset she was and she was more of an idol and inspiration to her growing up. Her father, John Fogarty, wasn't too happy with her joining the show. He didn't want her to be associated with the mob in any way. Her brothers think the show is funny and they laugh about it. Brittany says things were rough in her relationship with her dad, who got out of prison when she was 11. But they are working on their relationship. Her maternal grandmother ran illegal card games for wise guys in the basement her Brooklyn home. She had 10 kids and she would make them hang up their coats and serve them drinks. When Brittany's brother was four, her grandmother bought him a pocketknife for Christmas and taught him how to use it. At 18 months Brittany's family relocated to Bucks County, Pennsylvania. They often went back to Staten Island to visit family and spend time there. She says she misses LA where she has been living recently.<br />
<br />
Now for the episode chat. "Flip-Floppers" in the title refers to Brittany. The interviewer says she understands Brittany's frustration with Marissa because Marissa is just looking for every excuse not to like Brittany. Every episode she takes shots at Brittany. Brittany says she is still trying to figure out why this girl is so concerned with what she is doing and who she is talking to and how much she is drinking. She feels Renee has brainwashed Marissa into not liking her from day one. And if she wants to call her a "lush" she really doesn't care, but it's the antagonist intention behind it and the way she kept saying it to provoke her. Why is she looking to start a problem with someone she doesn't know from a hole in the wall? Brittany and the interviewers feel that Brittany is Marissa's storyline. She says in every scene Marissa is taking about her like she has nothing else to talk about. I have to agree with Brittany on this point. This is exactly what I have seen in the first four episodes. The whole "lush" scene at the Hamptons seemed to irritate the other women and I felt like Marissa was really trying to provoke Brittany into a fight at the pool or at the very least, set the tone for future episodes.<br />
<br />
As far as the "Flip-Flopper" thing goes, she thinks the women cannot handle the fact that she likes Drita, it's as simple as that. They ask her how can she explain the way she spoke about Drita in the Hamptons behind her back and then becoming friends with her. She owns the fact she spoke about Drita behind her back and in looking back she was wrong to do that, she shouldn't have chimed in because she hadn't even met Drita yet. But, she was hanging around a bunch of women who did nothing but talk about her and bad mouth her for weeks so she chimed in. When she met Drita she found her to be a totally different person than the one they described. She liked her right off the bat. She doesn't feel she should have a grudge against Drita for the problems other people had with her. Brittany denies that Drita "took her under her wing." She says the other women talked badly about Drita to influence her, but Drita never spoke badly about any of them to sway her one way or another. If anyone was trying to manipulate her it would be all the other women who tried to convince her not to like Drita. As for Carla saying Drita took her under her wing, Brittany says Carla must be weak to have been manipulated for three years. Ouch! Maybe if Brittany had watched the previous seasons, and seen it with her own two eyes, she would understand where the other women are coming from. Drita has not been loyal and is not "friend" material. Sometimes, when you are young, you have to learn things the hard way. Like Carla said, give it enough time and Brittany will be the new "mothball," especially if she decides to move to LA and disappear. They soon may not be "friends like that any more."<br />
<br />
Brittany says she watched the first season of Mob Wives when it aired four years ago. When she was asked to be on the show she made the decision not to go back and watch the other seasons so she wouldn't have preconceived ideas about all the women because those issues have nothing to do with her. She is going to meet them one on one and base her opinions on how they are with her. Now that filming has ended she is still friends with Drita and Ang. She says she enjoys the show.<br />
<br />
They ask if she is close with Karen now. Brittany says, "No, oh no." Then adds they got into a<a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2016/01/mob-wives-karen-brittany-last-straw.html"><b> twitter war last week</b>.</a> She says she thinks it's because she formed a friendship with Drita in spite of their efforts to keep that from happening. The interviewers are shocked to hear about the twitter war because Brittany and Karen were getting along great, especially in episode four. Brittany says you have to see how her relationship with Karen plays out. They were friendly in the beginning, but these women are so black and white, it's either team Drita or team Karen and she doesn't see it like that. None of their issues had to do with her. But her friendship with Drita had a lot to do with hurting her relationship with Karen. She says they haven't filmed the Reunion Show yet, but they will be doing that next week. She is looking forward to it. As for how she got on the show, she went through the regular casting process and was hired by Jennifer Graziano, who she thanks. Fans think Karen brought her around and got her the job.<br />
<br />
They go over the <a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2016/01/mob-wives-karen-brittany-last-straw.html"><b>Twitter War tweets</b></a>. Karen calls Brittany fake and her story about visiting her father in prison fake. Brittany says that's why people are delusional. Now that they aren't friends she wants to say her whole story is fake, but when they were friends she was saying how close their fathers were. She thinks sometimes people forget what they say. Brittany says it all started when Karen tweeted she had no loyalty because she was friendly towards Drita at the gym. But Drita never said anything bad about her except she had a tanning bed in her house. Brittany didn't think that was such a big deal because it's true Karen had a tanning bed. The interviewer says yes, but maybe Karen is pissed because Brittany started the conversation with Drita and kind of stirred the pot. Brittany agrees but says how can she address the elephant in the room when Drita knows all these women talked about her in the Hamptons? Is she supposed to go in and pretend she doesn't know anything? The fact remains that none of these other women's issues with Drita are her issues, so why should she have a chip on her shoulder when it comes to Drita?<br />
<br />
It ends with one of Brittany's quotes: "Be strong, put your lipstick on and get the f*ck out there."<br />
<br />
In my opinion Brittany did a great job handling all the questions and her answers came across as truthful from her point of view.<br />
<br />
In next week's episode 5, "The SitDown" we are supposed to see how Karen gets dragged into the middle of Brittany and Marissa's issues. Stay Tuned!<br />

<b>The Episode all leads up to this moment!</b></div>
<br />
<br />
Drita meets Ang at a fancy restaurant. Drita considers Ang a real friend, the only one who has had her back. I guess Drita forgot all the times Carla had her back? Drita says she is going to put Ang in the book about her life. Ang is a legend in Staten Island. And, of course, she can't leave out all those fights at Ang's Nocturnal Bar. Ang tells her she can't have a bar any more, her bar days are over. No bar, no money. Ang says Neil has to start contributing. Ang tells Drita she is throwing herself a birthday party with all the girls. Even though she is short on money, no expense will be spared. Neil will probably have to work 5 years just to pay for that party. Ang tells her how Carla was freaking out when she found out Drita told Ang about her ex-boyfriend. Ang knows she did it out of concern. Drita is getting hot under the collar and talks about violence again. Ang thinks they can talk at her party and straighten it out. We all know how those party "talks" always end up . . . hair pulling and no cake!<br />
<br />
Renee's house. Renee is trying to keep herself in a happy and healthy space. She is gardening and doesn't know what's up with Drita. Karen shows up and says she had a rough weekend. She has problems with Storm. She says while she was out with the girls the phone kept ringing and she didn't see it. It was Storm asking her where she is. Meanwhile, he hangs out all night working at the club and that's okay. He went to Karen's house to wait for her and he had been drinking and acting crazy. He grabbed her phone. Now her phone is broken. He was disrespecting her. Karen feels things are out of control, no coming back from it, it's just over. This isn't the first time there have been problems. The same problems. Maybe couple's therapy is in order here, but I doubt Storm would go for that.<br />

<b>Ang is fed up with paying all the bills</b></div>
<br />
Ang's house. Ang says her bills are piling up. Neil got a second job with her brother in construction, but he still doesn't bring home any money. There is no money coming in, she can't pay the bills by herself. He works every day, but Ang says she has yet to see a pay check. She says he doesn't pay for anything. Neil says she chose to buy expensive things and an expensive house. He says he wants to be with her, but she doesn't want to be with him. Neil leaves for work. "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." Ang should have known that Neil could never support her in the lifestyle the wise guys got her accustomed to on the salary of a sanitation worker. This relationship was doomed form the get go. Neil seems like a nice enough guy if only he could win the lottery.<br />

Karen's House. Brittany comes over to visit. They chat about their fathers and how close they were. Karen says Brittany reminds her of herself, they went through similar situations. Their fathers were in jail together, they knew the same people. They were very close and had each other's back. Karen tells Brittany about the early release program and filing papers to get her father out early. But Karen says everyone's got something to say, like Victoria Gotti Sr. who commented about it to the media. Karen is sick of them attacking her father. Karen is so over the Gotti's pointing the finger and they need to take responsibility for what their father did. (If you want to know what really happened back in the day, read Sammy's book "Underboss" or read our blog on his <a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2011/05/mob-wives-sammy-gravanos-1997-interview.html">1997 Interview with Diane Sawyer</a>)<br />

<b>Ang sets up the warehouse sitdown</b></div>
<br />
Manhattan. Drita is sick of people bringing up things from the past. Sure she does, because when you set people up and sell them out you don't want that coming back to bite you in the ass. On the other hand, when she is meeting with an agent about getting her story published, Drita doesn't mind revisiting the past. She pitches her story to an agent. She tells the agent she lived in the projects, she was a soccer player, she chose a bad path at 17 or 18 and got involved with a street guy. She got caught up in shoot outs, got shot at. She says she came from nothing and never even went to a restaurant. Then she dates someone who lavishes her with expensive gifts and a lifestyle that looked good to her. The agent wants to know if she is going to talk about all this in her book. Drita says she has to. The Agent says Drita has to submit a proposal with some of the stories of her life so she can get a feel for it. The agent says it sounds like an interesting, unique story. The agent better have a ghost writer handy to tackle this book. I want to know if Drita plans to write about Karen in her book after giving her hell for mentioning Lee?<br />

<b>Carla arrives at the warehouse dressed "to kill"</b></div>
<br />
Brooklyn. Carla, Renee, Kim and Etty meet for a meal and wine. Renee wants to fill them in about what's going on, but Carla speaks up. Carla tells them about the Mermaid Parade and all of a sudden there is Love and she told her what Drita did. Then she found out that Drita betrayed her by telling Ang her business about her ex-boyfriend. Carla feels sad and betrayed. Renee says Drita has a different definition of friendship. Renee thinks it's funny Drita blames her for all the problems when she is starting fights with everyone. Renee mentions Ang's party and they will all be there at the same time. Carla just wants to know what her problem is. I think her problem is guilt for the way she treated Carla after Carla defended her and had her back for three seasons. Only a million viewers were witnesses to that. And then we jump to "we aren't friends like that" and the "mothball" comment. Drita is the only one who can connect those dots.<br />

<b>Renee arrives at the warehouse </b></div>
<br />
Ang's Party in her sister's yard. "The cancer free, 55th birthday party." She says no way Neil is coming to her party after the argument they had. Renee says she isn't in the mood to see Drita. Carla loves Ang's parties. Karen says they all have issues, but no one has issues with Ang and they are there to support her. Brittany is excited to spend time with all the girls. Drita arrives and isn't happy seeing all the girls there. But, she goes over and kisses Renee and Karen. They seemed shocked. I did a double take. Carla says if Drita wants to speak to her she will have to go over to her. Drita loves the yard. Marissa goes over to the girls, but isn't happy to see Brittany there. Drita and Marissa meet when Marissa wishes Ang a Happy Birthday. Drita says Ang told her Marissa said she snubbed her. Marissa reminds her about the details of the incident. Drita says Marissa's boyfriend, Jamie aka O.Z. was like a brother to her so she would never snub his girlfriend. Drita explains that she thought Marissa was with someone she didn't care for or respect at the time. Marissa isn't sure what to think for now. Drita tells Ang she is a friendly mother f*cker. (Until she isn't.) Got to hand it to Marissa for telling Drita exactly how it is.<br />
<br />
Carla is pissed Drita won't go over and talk to her. Don't hold your breath Carla. Ang says the group is divided and they are making no attempt to make up. Ang tells Drita she should talk to Carla. Marissa notices Brittany is hanging out with Drita after all she had to say in the Hamptons about her. Carla is sick of Drita staring at her from across the room. Suddenly, a jerk at the party (who coincidently looks like the stalker that waddled away from Drita's store) says Karen's father is a rat. Karen overhears him and calls him out on it. The guy was shaking in his shoes. Karen wants him to say it to her face not behind her back. He won't repeat it. He looks all around trying to find a way to escape. Karen tells him she doesn't want him to disrespect her father. Of course they have the guy remove from the party before things get out of hand. He was dressed like he was going to a ballgame and didn't even look like he even belonged there. Drita decides she doesn't want to talk to Carla at this point because there is too much drama. I guess that's as good of an excuse as any. Even if they did talk, Drita would have to scream at the top of her lungs to drown Carla out because Carla is in the right and Drita has no good explanation for the way she has been treating her.<br />

Storm and Karen meet at the park. Karen has reached her stress limit. She is giving him back his stuff, it's in her trunk. They are not seeing eye to eye. Karen gets emotional. He doesn't get it that she needs to express her feelings, they need to communicate. Karen knows they love each other, and they are on the same team, but they have to work on communication and their unresolved issues.<br />
<br />
Cabo restaurant. Ang is meeting up with Carla and Marissa to see if they remember what happened at the party because she was so drunk she can't remember anything. Carla asks about Neil. Ang says they aren't getting along. Marissa tells them Drita admitted she snubbed her and apologized. Carla was surprised to hear that. Marissa wants to know how Brittany, who was team KG in the Hamptons, is hanging with Drita when she had plenty to say about her in the Hamptons. Marissa says Drita preys on the weak. Marissa doesn't care for flip-floppers and weak people. Carla says Brittany asked her 100 times if she spoke to Drita. Carla says that's her business. Carla says if she and Drita have a problem they should talk it out. Ang says she is going to take matters in her own hands and straighten all these issues out.<br />

Ang gets a warehouse from a friend for the sitdown. It's just like the wise guys used to do it. Ang says, "Tonight things are going to change for better or for worse." All the ladies are all going to meet and talk. Karen is going there to back up anything she has said or done. Carla wants them all be under the same roof, in front of each other, to put it all on the table. Renee says she avoided Drita at the party, but tonight the bullying ends. Ang wants to end all these problems and move on. Drita says going to this meeting is like going to a "hornet's nest." She is still calling them fake b*tches. With this attitude how can things not go wrong? Drita arrives last. She is ready for a fight. Next week everyone has their say! DO NOT miss next week's episode . . . called The Sitdown!<br />

A beautiful young Drita back in the day</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Once upon a time there was a pretty young <strike>thing</strike> Drita. <br />
<br />
<br />
We don’t know if a brown recluse crept up on her pillow at night and took a nip.<br />
We don’t know if it was that time of the month.<br />
We don’t now if it’s a case of hay ever.<br />

Who knows what happened; isn’t Drita D’Avanso looking mighty swollen in the picture above? All we know is she is looking more like one of the Real Housewives of <strike>Too Much Work Done</strike> Beverly Hills or Orange County. If you ask me getting too cosmetic surgery is just real<a href="http://www.stoopidhousewives.com/" target="_blank"> <b><span style="color: yellow;">stoopid</span></b></a><b><span style="color: yellow;"> </span></b>to me. You didn’t. So I’ll just end with I am fat and homely so what would I know about beauty on the outside?<br />
<br />

<br />
In other important news, I am very sad. Chiara is refusing to make me a gray scarf. Don’t miss Mob Wives tonight on VH1 9:00 PM unless your central and I think it’s 8:00 PM. I don’t know about you but I am really enjoying this season of Mob Wives. In all honesty I can do without the new girls. They seem to be trying too hard and beyond petty. Chiara did interview <a href="http://mobwives.blogspot.com/2015/12/mob-wives-our-interview-with-marissa.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">Marissa here</span></b></a>. Chiara said she thought Marissa was smart, savvy and a very nice young lady.<br />
<br />
Note: The wrong picture of "young" Drita was inadvertently posted earlier and has now been corrected. The top picture is Drita in High school. <br />
<br />
MM’s note: I think the 1st picture was Drita and the second picture has been always questionable. HENCE the maybe? Between all the outside “help” I’m confused.

<br />
A new sneak peek was just released by VH1 for Wednesday night's episode. You may recall that Karen was trying to get her father, Sammy, released early under a new law. And in one episode, when Victoria Gotti was talking to Ang, she mentioned the "Sammy Deal" which she explained meant turing informant for a slap on the wrist. As far as I know, no such expression exists or has been posted online. In the scene above, Brittany and Karen discuss Karen's plans to get her father out of prison early. Then Karen opens the newspaper and reads what Victoria Gotti Sr. had to say about Sammy's release. Needless, to say Karen was not happy. Watch this scene and see what you think.<br />

Karen Gravano introduces Brittany to the rest of the cast in Season 6 Mob Wives, "The Last Stand." Karen knows Brittany because both of their fathers are friends and did time together. There is a family tie there. Karen also relates to Brittany because she was in her shoes twenty years ago. Both of their fathers cooperated and the girls were being judged for it. Karen seems to take Brittany under her wing and, while they were filming, we saw many pictures of them together hanging out and having a good time. Something changed all that and last night we saw what it was. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Brittany decides to befriend Drita. Despite her friendship with Karen and everything Karen and the others have told her, she decides to throw caution to the wind and hang out with Drita. She likes Drita even though she just met her and knows her for all of five seconds. She disrespects her friendship with Karen and shows she has no loyalty to her at all. Last night, after a whole season of filming, Karen and Brittany exchanged a few ugly tweets. Here, in the "Twitter After Show," is the nasty little twitter war for you to read.</div>

<b>Brittany fills Ang in on what she thinks of Marissa</b></div>
<br />
Before I get started, let me backtrack to the premiere episodes for a minute. With two episodes it was hard to blog everything I wanted to say. Let's address the whole "lush" argument and how we got there. First we have the fact that Brittany and Marissa mix as well as oil and water. There is no love lost between these two. But, were Brittany and I the only ones annoyed with Marissa? Marissa was invited for a lovely weekend in the Hamptons. She accepted and then did nothing but complain the whole time. The limo ride was too long, she didn't have enough air, there was too much drinking on the way there. It's like the kid who keeps asking "Are we there yet?" Then they arrive at a beautiful house that Carla and VH1 spared no expense in renting for them. Marissa insults Carla by calling it a cabin in the woods. While they are there the girls want to relax and have a few drinks, but Marissa isn't happy about that. She turns to Brittany and calls her a "lush." Maybe none of them are familiar with that word because it's outdated and not used very often in this context. Marissa says she was joking, I don't think so, but let's say she was joking. How many times does it take before a "joke" isn't a joke, and is considered passive-aggressive behavior? The first couple of times Brittany took it well and laughed it off. But Marissa continued to provoke as though she wanted to start an argument or fight. That was disrespectful to Carla and all the women who went there just to relax and have fun. And, I might add, Brittany was not acting intoxicated or annoying so there was really no need for Marissa to call her out on her drinking. People in their 20's drink and like to party. Period.<br />
<br />
After wearing out the word "lush," the girls decide to enjoy the rest of their time in the Hamptons. Carla takes the girls to her friends house. Carla doesn't want Marissa and Brittany acting up and embarrassing her. Ang pulls Brittany over and they talk about the "lush" argument. Renee and Marissa have a conversation about the same thing. As I stated above, I have to side with Brittany on this one. Brittany says she shut down Marissa and her "lushing" mouth. Marissa complains about too much alcohol at the party. There's just too much drinking for her taste. I'm not sure how well Marissa fits in to this circle. She complains about everything and seems impossible to please. At this point she is really a "party pooper."<br />

<b>Marissa shares a few thoughts about Brittany</b></div>
<br />
The next morning everyone is back at the house and the doorbell rings. Ang answers it. Its 8 AM and there is a yoga instructor there to teach the girls a few moves. Who the hell had that bright idea? VH1 must have arranged that because no way Carla is going to surprise everyone with yoga after a night of drinking! Renee is not interested, and the instructor is on Ang's nerves. Karen is hungover and does not want to get out of bed. She worked hard to get her hangover and the last thing she wants is to detoxify. But they all (except Renee) end up outside on mats to "Omm," while Ang is saying "Bloody Mary," and just wants to do a "wrist to elbow move." Renee wants no part of yoga or sweating. Marissa is the last one to come out. Gotta give Ang credit for joining in. Then she quits. She did more than I would have done.<br />

<b>A nice meal to wrap up the trip</b></div>
<br />
<br />
Carla hires a personal chef for their last day in the Hamptons. A nice "delicious" breakfast before they head home. Everyone says how much they enjoyed their vacation. Apparently Brittany and Marissa keep mumbling about "lush" so they aren't totally over it. Everyone thanks Carla for the weekend. Big Ang brings up the fact that she lost her constitutional rights because she is a felon. All she knows how to do is work in a bar, so she wants to restore her rights. Karen gives her a little advice. Having the Drunken Monkey close down put a hole in her heart. Then Renee advises Carla to talk to Drita when they get home. Ang agrees they should sit down and talk. Karen says she is tired of hearing Drita calling her a fake and a phony and she wants her to say it to her face. Karen plans on meeting up with Drita. Bye bye Hamptons. We've had a chance to meet the new girls and this little time away gave everyone time to talk about their issues with Drita.<br />
<br />
Renee and AJ have lunch. AJ has grown up before our eyes. Renee says she will ask Andrea what kind of wedding she wants. Renee thinks he should put a real engagement ring on her finger, "a solid rock." Andrea says she wasn't ready for a wedding, but she is ready for an engagement. Renee wants them to move in with her. She is lonely and she loves having her son around. The kids aren't crazy about staying with Renee. Andrea thinks the house is haunted. Renee wants to get a medium to come to the house and find the ghost and have it removed. If there are no ghosts the kids agree to stay with Renee. I'm not so sure I believe they are really happy with that arrangement, but okay I'll go along with it.<br />

<b>Karen confronts Drita</b></div>
<br />
<br />
The confrontation at the park. Karen is driving to meet Drita to talk to her directly and face to face. Drita has a lot to say to Karen so she is glad she called. Karen says she hears she is a fake and a phony. Drita says everyone is a phony because they talk about each other, hate each other and then they become best friends and love each other. Karen asks why is she fake for being friends with Carla? Karen says Drita's issue with Carla is not her issue. Drita wants to know why none of them defended her when Love told them she set up Carla. Karen says she doesn't know if that's true or not, she should talk to Love about that. Drita says she doesn't set anyone up. Considering how Drita is behaving towards Carla, who knows if her hands are really clean?<br />

<b>Drita gets louder and louder</b></div>
<br />
Drita starts screaming at Karen. Karen is trying to talk. Drita thinks Karen is trying to fight with her because Karen keeps telling her to lower her voice. Karen just wants to talk like civilized adults. She says Drita needs to "Put her veins away." Karen tells her the two of us had issues and put them behind us and sat a table many times. Does that make us phony? Karen says she isn't a fake or phony, and if that is how Drita feels, oh well. Drita says right now they are far from friends. Drita says Karen has been a headache in her life for the last five years, since she came back. Karen says she doesn't like Drita's version of friendship and she doesn't need a "friend" like that. All I could think of while watching this scene is that Drita really didn't want to address anything Karen had to say. She wouldn't let her talk or make her point. I don't think Drita wanted Karen to make her point at all because then she would have had to answer with reasons that make sense. Instead she screams on the top of her lungs, until she drowns Karen out, and basically forces her to leave because she can't get anywhere.<br />

<b>Counting Drita's Veins? </b></div>
<br />
Ang's House. Brittany is there. They chat. They had a great time the Hamptons and Ang loves Brittany. They both wish Drita had been there. Drita arrives to meet Brittany. Brittany thinks Drita can't be all bad if Ang likes her. Drita arrives. Drita and Brittany hit it off right away. Drita knows Marissa's boyfriend O.Z. When Brittany hears that, she tells Drita how miserable Marissa was at the Hamptons. They have a good laugh over Marissa's face and how it annoyed Drita. Brittany calls Marissa "Miss Miserable." Drita says Renee has had a fight with everyone, so who is really the problem? Brittany can relate because of how Renee reacted towards her when they first met. Drita says Renee is the Queen F*cking Problem. Drita says everyone will show their true colors at some point. I find it interesting that Brittany would dismiss everything Karen has told her and just become "friends" with Drita. She just drops her guard (and her loyalty to Karen) and embraces Drita, who she doesn't know from a hole the wall? Who does that? (Another blog should be coming out later today about this.)<br />
<br />
Marissa and Karen talk about Brittany. She can't believe she got so upset over a word she had to look up and didn't know. Karen says she has a loyalty to both Brittany and Marissa. She says Brittany's father and Sammy were friends and there is a family tie there. But, Karen says she knows O.Z. a long time too and is good friends with his sister. Karen says she really likes Brittany. They move on to Drita. Marissa says she didn't get a good vibe from Drita when they met through their men, Lee and O.Z., who are lifelong friends. Karen and Marissa are on the same page concerning Drita.<br />
<br />
Renee's house. Joann the medium comes to the house to check it out for ghosts. She says there are two females. One who loves roses. Renee's grandmother. The other is a little girl who likes to play and make noise. AJ claims he hears a little girl who lives in the closet. Joann says the ghost is looking out for Renee and says she needs to cleanse certain people from her life.<br />
<br />
Ang goes to see a lawyer about restoring her constitutional rights. He helped her back in 2001 when she was in trouble. Her girlfriend ratted her out. Ang tells him she can't escape the past. He says the consequences of what happened 13 years ago will stay with her the rest of he life. He tells her she can't get her record expunged and, as long as it exists, she cannot get her rights back. Ang is really upset by this news.<br />
<br />
At the gym Brittany and Drita get together. Isn't this great? Brittany isn't seeing the side of Drita that the others complained about at the Hamptons. The two of them are clicking. Brittany tells her about her father being away for 11 years and she was 8 months old when he went in. She tells her how scary it was visiting him in prison. Drita relates to her story because her girls were in the same situation. Drita tells her what happened with Lee going to prison while she was pregnant. Drita tells her Lee was a bank burglar. Drita is dissing the other girls, Karen and Renee. They had everything handed to them, she had to work for everything. Brittany and Drita seem to see eye to eye on everything. Brittany says the only reason she knows any of them is because of Karen. So, because she is friends with Karen does that mean she can't be Drita's friend too?<br />
<br />
Good question and Brittany should know the answer. In case she doesn't, let's summarize. A long time family friend (Karen) has been on the outs with someone (Drita) for five years. You meet that person and immediately strike up a friendship with them without any thought or consideration for what your friend has told you? No loyalty to your friend? And it's not just your friend telling you she can't be trusted, others are saying the same thing. Does that mean you shouldn't be friends with Drita? Drita who drops friends left and right when it's not convenient? Who marries a good friend's ex boyfriend and never bothers to call and tell her. Who decides when someone moves away they stop being your friend? Who joins in a pact with her co-workers to negotiate for a better contract and then sells them out and makes a deal for herself? Who dumps a friend (Carla) who has had her back 100% and then says she is a "mothball" and "we weren't friends like that?" Who very possibly helped to set up a good friend so she could be hit? Who tells your business to others that you told her in confidence? Someone who flip flops every chance she gets? Yes, Drita is certainly friend material.<br />
<br />
La Marina. The girls meet for colorful drinks. Ang tells them she saw her lawyer. He says there is no way she can get her rights back. Carla, Karen and Renee think it's ridiculous. Brittany is there quietly sipping a drink and listening. Renee tells them all that Drita told Brittany that Renee is the cause of all the problems and trouble. Renee says she and Carla made up and got past their issues. She can't understand why that bothers Drita. Ang says she remembers Drita sticking for Carla. Carla says no, Drita never defended her, Carla was always the one who stuck up for Drita. Carla told Drita something in confidence; something to the effect that her ex beat her up. It seems Drita told Ang and Renee her business. Carla is really pissed now. Renee says Drita is causing more problems and another fight. Renee says Drita has fought with everyone and she's blaming her. I predict many more sit-downs before this season ends.<br />
<br />
So now all the storylines seem to be set up. Everyone but Brittany has a bone to pick with Drita. I hope we get to hear what Love has to say soon. Carla has a lot of issues to take up with Drita. I can't wait to see if Drita will explain anything or have answers OR will she just scream in Carla's face until she walks away too? Stay tuned!<br />

<br />
Love Majewski is back on Mob Wives in Season 6 and VH1 just posted a video of what the other mob wives think about this very unexpected development. Love first shows up at the Mermaid Parade. Carla's first reaction is dread of another confrontation. Renee senses trouble. Karen was happy to see her friend, but then remembered Carla was there too. And then, after hearing what Love had to say, Carla begins leaning towards believing Love over Drita. Drita adds everything she can think of to discredit what Love had to say. Finally, everyone gives their theories on what they think went on between Drita and Love before the attack. Interesting video!<br />

Hopefully, more details will emerge this season as Love talks to Carla about what really happened between her and her good "friend" Drita at Love's house the night before the altercation.<br />

<br />
Drita meets Renee for lunch to see how everything went at the Mermaid Parade because she couldn't be there. Everything starts off very pleasant. Renee tells her the parade was great. She shows her pictures. Drita spots Karina and is impressed with how grown up she is. Renee tells her that although things went well a lot of crazy stuff happened and Drita isn't prepared for what she his going to tell her. Renee says Love showed up and she saw Carla. Love apologized to Carla for what happened at Drita's party, but said that it was all because someone was in her ear egging her on. Drita says, "Don't tell me my name came up." Renee says, "Yeah, and not good." Renee continues to tell Drita, Love told Carla that you told her you would bring Carla to the party and walk out so she could hit Carla. Drita says "that's a lie," but I didn't see the explosive reaction we all would expect from that story from Drita. Hmmm. Drita just denied it and smiled. Drita says "I would never walk out and let someone get set up." Drita says "the last time I saw Love it was three years ago and she was dragging Carla by her f*ckin' hair. Those two hated each other and now she is trying' to pin some rat move on me!" Drita asks if anyone told Love she was full of sh*t?" Renee says no. Drita says, it figures, nice to know everyone has my back. Drita wants to know if Love likes Carla now, like everyone else. Drita says this crew has nothing in common except hating her. Drita starts to get angry. "You are all fake ass mother f*ckers." Drita is pissed and says Renee made up all kinds of stories about Carla and now they are friends. Renee doesn't understand why Drita has any issues with Carla when they were "tighter than a clam's ass" and never had an argument. Renee says she was just filling Drita in on what was said, so why is Drita starting in with her? Drita says everyone hated Carla and now everyone is friends with her. Drita shows Renee her phone and says she calls everybody "dildos" because that's the fakest bunch of dicks she ever saw in her life. Renee is stunned and Drita gets up to walk out. Renee feels Drita is taking it all out on her. Drita is fed up with all of them. Maybe the question isn't why is everybody friends with Carla now, BUT why isn't Drita "friends like that" with her any more? Maybe something happened at the end of season 3 to change their friendship? I wonder why Drita never mentions the "pack" they [Karen, Carla, Ramona and Drita] all made and she broke when she sold them out? Now that would be a great sit-down for season 6!<br />

<b>Drita is done with the conversation</b></div>
<br />
Brittany and her mother, Andrea talk about the parade. Brittany tells her Renee wasn't too crazy about her. She judged her right off the bat. She said she told Renee not to talk about her mom or she would charge her. Andrea says would any one of those women take ten years for a man? Brittany thinks Renee is being hypocritical to judge her based on what her father has done when she is in the same boat as Karen and AJ. Andrea says they think their way is the only way. Not everything is about hitting, that's like animals. Brittany says she will raise her hands if she has to. Andrea agrees if someone gets in her personal space and threatens her she should defend herself.<br />
<br />
Karen meets Renee and Carla for brunch. Karen is glad they are in a good place, they dealt with their situation and moved past it. Karen starts off the conversation with her relationship with Storm, they are having communication issues. She says she is miserable and wants to get away from all the drama. Carla says she has has many good times in the Hamptons and met a lot of great people, so she rented a house for all the girls to have a fun weekend. Renee and Karen are in. Karen wants to ask her cousin, Frances, to come and Brittany. Renee expresses that she has an issue with Brittany. Karen just wants Renee to give her a chance. Carla says she will invite all the girls, but NOT Drita. Drita hasn't called her so that's that. Renee jumps in with "speaking of Drita" . . . she tells them she was trying to bring Drita up to speed about the parade and Love and she totally flipped out. Drita told her, "You're a fake you're a phony," screaming and yelling. She is so angry that Renee and Carla are friends. Carla says it makes no sense she is angry about them being friends. Renee says, "The b*tch sat across from me and called me a name that no one has ever ever had the nerve to say to my face." Karen says Drita is the fake and the phony. Her actions don't match up to her words. Karen says, if someone is throwing dirt on your name who do you kill the messenger or the person who is throwing the dirt? I think Drita would probably kill both the messenger and the person throwing dirt with her blinded wrench. Don't forget, violence is the answer. Renee says the bottomline is that she has to have one more conversation with her. The last conversation. She can't do it any more. She's done. Renee may be done, but Carla and Karen are no where near done judging from the clips we've seen. Looks like a few more "meetings" are in the cards for season 6.<br />
<br />
Manhattan. Renee goes to meet Marissa who is getting made up. They know each other through her boyfriend, O.Z. Marissa is doing photoshoot for a jewelry line. Marissa models for Renee. They take a break to catch up on things. Renee tells her about the Mermaid Parade and Brittany. Renee tells her why she feels the way she does, Brittany stirs up feelings for her about her ex-husband and father. Marissa doesn't care for people who cooperate because her boyfriend was sentenced for 5 years for narcotics when someone ratted him out to soften up their sentence. Then Renee invites Marissa to the Hamptons to join the girls. She warns her Brittany has a mouth on her, Marissa says she does too.<br />

<b>Is not Ang's favorite thing</b></div>
<br />
Big Ang and Drita are go shopping for some health food on doctors orders. They talk about Drita's book. Lee doesn't want her to do it. Ang tells her she should share her story if she wants. Ang says she heard about the Mermaid Parade and how Love said Drita set up Carla. Drita is disgusted that after three years this BS story between Carla and Love is just now coming out. Ang says she doesn't believe a word Love says. Drita says if she was standing there she would have helped Carla. Now Carla jumped on the bandwagon with the others. Drita says Renee and Karen bashed Carla everyday for a year. Carla disappeared off the face of the earth and then came out from Karen's ass and then jumped into Renee's. Ang tells her she was invited to the Hamptons. Drita tells her to go and relax. Ang says right now Drita is the odd man out. Drita says Ang should tell them she has never seen faker girls, never in history. She wants them to talk to her one by one to her face because they are lying.<br />

<b>Storm has no time to talk about the relationship</b></div>
<br />
Karen meets up with Storm. She says they can't move forward until he understands how she is feeling. He is concerned with his business and making money. She wants to talk about their relationship. She doesn't want to argue or fight. He says he is handling his business and money and has no time for this conversation. She wants to build a relationship but he leaves her sitting there. Karen is pissed he can't make time for her. "Enjoy your life Storm." and she leaves. This relationship has has more than it's share of ups and downs. I hope Karen takes the time to think about whether they can move forward or if she should cut her losses. Every woman deserves to be loved and appreciated and listened to.<br />
<br />
The girls meet up at Karen's house to go to the Hamptons. Brittany and Renee greet each other. Brittany isn't concerned with Renee and her opinions. Renee still has reservations. Ang, Marissa and Carla are there, Marissa is introduced to Brittany and they all get into the limo to have fun with a few drinks on the way to the Hamptons. Marissa is a killjoy according to Brittany. She is complaining about the lack of air in the car. They finally arrive. The house is beyond beautiful. Marissa doesn't understand the excitement, it's a cabin in the woods and she'd rather be at the Ritz. Carla looks for Renee, she is sleeping. Renee is going to relax while the others go have fun. Marissa says she is reserved and not wild, while Brittany is a partier. Ang tells them Drita is bugging out about her book and Lee doesn't want he to write it. Karen thinks this is karma for the way she flipped out over her book.<br />

<b>Will Lee ever support Drita?</b></div>
<br />
Carla wants to know why Drita got so mad at Renee. Ang says she said it was all bulls*t. Karen says no, no, no, Love told her a long time ago Drita came to her house and said she was not sticking up for Carla. Carla says Love told her that Drita said she could do whatever she wanted to Carla, she didn't care. Ang asks if she believes Love? Carla says no she doesn't. Ang says Love is just a lying troublemaker. Karen wants to know what makes Drita more believable? Drita has been saying Carla is not a friend "like that" she has the mentality of a "mothball." Karen and Carla consider what Drita said and it seems to give credibility to what Love was saying. Carla said she considered her a good friend of hers and stuck up for her 100% and she talks this way about her, if anyone is fake and phony it's Drita. Brittany wants to know what does it mean that she wasn't a "friend like that?" Marissa is annoyed that Brittany is butting into a conversation when she doesn't even know Drita. Ang tells them that Drita called them all phonies. Carla wants to know why. Ang says because they all hated each other and now they act like best friends. Karen says when she gets back home the first thing she is going to do is call Drita because she doesn't talk behind her back, she has to say it to her face. Carla says they didn't come to the Hamptons to talk about Drita. Karen says Drita doesn't value friendship. Just makes me miss Ramona, who had Drita pegged from day one with her "Flip-floppin' floozie."<br />
<br />
Drita's house. Drita is home writing her book and Lee doesn't have her back about the book. Giselle walks in and watches Drita write. Giselle wants twenty bucks for helping her. They have a little chat about "daddy." The story goes from happy to sad to happy she tells her daughter. Reliving her past is one of the hardest things she has ever done. Her two girls always have her back. Drita is determined to write her book whether Lee likes it or not. I'll believe it when I see it.<br />

<b>"Lush" is the new buzz word of Season 6</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>If you are playing a drinking game tonight, this is the word you want!</b></div>
<br />
Back to the Hamptons, next day. The girls have hangovers and Renee is rested. Brittany strolls in and then Marissa. Brittany keeps talking about drinking and Marissa says she can't hang, especially with this lush. Brittany doesn't know what a "lush" is. Renee explains it's someone who likes to drink and Brittany says she likes to have fun. Brittany doesn't care for Marissa's "sober" attitude. Carla wants to fill Renee in on what happened yesterday. Carla says she didn't just call Renee a fake and phony but everyone except Ang. Renee wants to know why not Ang? Renee says she and Ang had a huge argument and were able to say they were sorry and work through it. So if Ang isn't being a phony to Renee what the hell is Drita's problem? Carla says in the last couple of years Drita has become a whole different person, she acts like she is JLo walking down the street. Renee thinks Drita needs to sit down and talk to every one of them except for Renee because e she doesn't give a flying f*ck what Drita thinks. Renee is done talking about Drita.<br />
<br />
Carla is in the mood for good wine. They are at a vineyard, tasting some wine, and Marissa doesn't like some of the wines while Brittany is busy finishing every glass. Marissa is really tired of Brittany always being focused on alcohol. They go outside and take a walk around the vineyard grounds and have a seat. Carla says she is having a little cocktail party that night with all her friends. Marissa calls Brittany a lush one too many times. Brittany says she likes to drink and have fun, she's good. But Brittany takes offense to Marissa's taunting and wants her to shut up. Marissa is not about to change her tune. Brittany is tired of being judged, she wanted to break her glass and stick it in her throat. Marissa says she was saying it in fun. The two have a little argument, yelling in front of the others. Brittany says don't worry about how many drinks she has. Now, if you are wondering how many drinks Brittany had this episode don't ask me, I was too busy blogging.<br />
<br />
P.S. Mob Mistress wants to know why Drita is orange? Or does the color on her television need adjusting. <br />

<b>Opening clip:</b> Karen and Drita face off with their allies, Marissa and Brittany, sitting along side them. Brittany was introduced to the group by Karen, but she is now aligned with Drita. How did that happen? Drita is in a rage and upset about something Karen said. What else is new? The tension builds up quickly and they both get up to attack each other. Security acts quickly to haul off both Drita and Brittany, while Drita yells, "You're dead Karen! Dead!" And Karen responds back with "You don't want to hear the truth!" a la Jack Nicholson (A Few Good Men).<br />

The filming begins Three Months Earlier: <br />
<br />
Staten Island. Karen wants to make sure Karina enjoys New York City and all it has to offer. Karina is now a teenager, all grown up and reminding Karen of how much trouble she gave her own parents. Renee surrounds herself with loyal people. She stops by Karen's and sees how mature Karina is now. Renee and Karen agree they are happy to be free from all the Natalie drama. (Can we all say Amen to that!) Renee says her Mob Candy business is getting a float for the Mermaid Parade with costumes. She invites Karen and Karina to join her and wear the Mob Candy jewelry at the parade.<br />
<br />
Ang is at the doctor's office. She is being examined. Ang had surgery a few months ago for throat cancer. She gives Neil credit for staying by her side the whole time. She was in the hospital for 9 days. Recovery was terrible. The doctor wants her on a healthy, organic diet. He wants her to exercise. He also wants her to stop smoking. It's overwhelming. It's cramping her style. She is set in her ways. Just like Ang to keep her sense of humor during such a difficult time in her life.<br />
<br />
Drita's House. Drita says they have a normal household and family. They are happy. (unless she wants to write a book and then the trouble in "paradise" begins). She is taking her girls to the neighborhood where she grew up, in the projects. Aleeya is a teenager. Drita wants her girls to see how little she had growing up and appreciate everything they have. Drita tells them s story about a friend she had who wasn't allowed to go to her house because she lived in the projects. She wants them to see where she started and how far she has come. Drita is nervous to tell Lee about the book, the girls think the book is a good idea.<br />

<b>Renee meets the girls at the park </b></div>
<br />
Renee, Karen, Drita, Ang meet up at the park. Drita tells them she wants to write a book even though it's hard for her to relive the past. Renee tells them about the Mermaid Parade and float. Karen wants to invite her friend Brittany. Karen tells them about Brittany's father, John Fogarty, who cooperated. That word unsettles Renee. She doesn't want to open her own old wounds involving people who cooperated. Renee seems to have a knee-jerk reaction when it comes to the word "cooperate." It stings. She associates the word with pain, betrayal, loss of loved ones. I don't think she can help it. It's just like the word "rat," it evokes strong feelings. It's part of the lifestyle and the way she was raised. Karen, however, gets insulted because of her own experience twenty years ago and she feels she is being judged all over again because her father cooperated.<br />
<br />
Brittany Fogarty is introduced. Her father, John Fogarty, and her mother Andrea Giovino both were in the mob. Brittany is bored with Pennsylvania. She moved back from LA to be near her mother and boyfriend. She wants to move back to Staten Island where the rest of her family lives. He mother is worried for her because the people there still remember her father and his problems. Brittany doesn't want her life to be dictated based on what her father did. Her mother is upset about this decision.<br />
<br />
Ang is being forced to close the Drunken Monkey because she is a felon. She and Neil go to the bar to pick up whatever things she wants to take with her. Drita pops in. She tells them her customers are devastated the place is closing. Someone reported them to the liquor licensing board. And with that the place is closed . . . it's over . . . gone . . . done.<br />

<b>Karen is disappointed in Renee </b></div>

<b>for the way she is treating Brittany</b></div>
<br />
Karen's house. Renee shows up. Karen is paying bills. Karen has to address an issue she has with Renee. She is very disappointed at the way Renee reacted when Brittany's name came up. Renee says Karen got very defensive. Karen says "20 years ago I was Brittany." Renee knows what Karen had to deal with because of her father. But, Renee doesn't want her whole circle to be full of people who are related to people who cooperated. It makes her uncomfortable. She doesn't know Brittany so why does she have to add her to her circle, especially when it brings up negative feelings. Karen wants to have a relationship with Brittany because of the relationship Sammy had with her father. Karen says Renee is her friend and her sister, but she doesn't want this drama. Renee feels she is entitled to her opinion, she doesn't like what Brittany's father did. Karen says that makes her think back to how people treated her when her father cooperated and how she felt. She doesn't like it. Renee understands and out of respect for Karen she is going to be nice to Brittany, but won't trust her. I'm not prepared to call Renee a hypocrite or say she is wrong right now. She may not be able to help how she feels because the word triggers a lot of negative memories and feelings. Moving on.<br />
<br />
Renee's house. AJ and his fiancee, Andrea are there. It's the day of the Mermaid Parade. Karen and Brittany arrive for makeup and costumes. Renee is going to pay extra attention to what Brittany says and does. Carla arrives to get ready. Carla is glad she has repaired her friendships with Renee and Karen. Drita isn't going to join them because Carla will be there. Carla says it doesn't make any sense. They didn't have an argument or exchange words, so why doesn't she want be around her? Oh I know I know! Maybe because she feels guilty about double crossing someone who was a real and loyal friend to her for three seasons and can't look at Carla in the eye. Guilt will do that to you. Or maybe, as some people have suggested, Lee ("the King of his castle"), forbid her from hanging around with Carla and Drita complied? Maybe a little of both? Oh well, on to the parade.<br />

<b>Love apologizes</b></div>
<br />
Coney Island. As soon as they get there Love comes running over to greet Karen. Carla is stunned to see Love. Renee greets Love. The last time Carla saw Love she was attacking her, so she isn't happy at all. Love immediately extends her hand to Carla and says "I'm really sorry I really owe you a big apology." Carla is shocked that after two years she is getting this apology and she is skeptical. Love says, "I'm sorry, I really do owe you a big apology. It's my fault, it really is. I'm really sorry. Instead of talking to you directly, I let someone who was a friend of yours speak for you. And, Drita's definition of "friend" is different than what our definition of "friend" is." Carla responds with, "Drita said something to you about me?" Carla doesn't trust Love, but at the same time she feels it could explain the weird way Drita has been treating her.<br />

<b>An unhappy, skeptical Carla listens to Love</b></div>
<br />
Carla wants to hear what Drita said to Love. Love says, "The night before [the altercation] she [Drita] was at my house saying, 'I'll make sure Carla's there and I'll walk away." Renee can't believe what she just heard Love say. It translates into Drita setting Carla up. Love goes even further and says Drita told her, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta take care of this blah blah blah and pushing me towards this situation. She said a hundred times, I'm not friends with Carla like that." Love turns to Carla and adds, "Actions speak louder than words. Did she defend you at that moment or no?" Now Carla thinks back and remembers right before the altercation with Love, Drita left the room. Love says they can talk about it another time and not spoil the day. Carla wants to talk to Drita. Love says good-bye to the ladies. Renee wants the day to be about Mob Candy and Mermaids. I do hope there is a lot more to this story later in the season. I can't figure out why Drita would set Carla up unless something happened we didn't see.<br />
<br />
Drita's house. She calls Lee to tell him she is writing a book. He says, "What do you mean writing a book? Go see a f*ckin' shrink. I don't want to be in anybody's book." Drita argues with him and says she is writing it. She feels he should support her. She went to visit him in prison and stood by him. She is so upset by his attitude she is shaking. Who is surprised at Lee's reaction? No one. I'm surprise d he didn't order he to bring him a cherry coke and a provolone for lunch.<br />

<b>All the ladies deck out in Mob Candy Bling!</b></div>
<br />
Mermaid Parade is full swing. Carla's head is spinning from what Love told her, while she is trying to have a good time at the parade. Karen thanks Renee, it's her first time at Coney Island. Brittany tells them her mother doesn't want her moving back to Staten Island. As Brittany talks about her parents and how it came about that her father cooperated, Renee is getting more upset. Brittany says her mother convinced the father to cooperate so she could stay home and raise the kids, but Renee says it was to cover her own ass. Renee speaks up and Karen gets upset. Brittany compares herself to AJ. Brittany says her mother put her kids first, above everything. Renee says, "Your mother was wrong." Brittany tells Renee "you talk about my mother I will charge you." Renee is upset at the lack of respect. Renee doesn't like outsiders. Renee's eyes are open!<br />
<br />
There you have it. The storylines are set up, but I think there will be so many twists and turns we will never see coming. I am already wondering how Brittany, who was brought into the group by Karen, turns out to be BFF's with Drita? But I don't have time to speculate, the next episode is already starting!<br />
