Mob Wives: Karen Explains Drita's "Set Up" Letter

Everything that happened when season 3 ended is finally the revealed. The "set up" that has been mentioned time and time again, the "set up" that ended up with Drita returning for season 4 and Karen, Carla and Ramona being let go.  Karen just posted the story in her instagram and Carla vouches for it.

And here is exactly what Karen posted in it's entirety . . . the whole "set-up" story! First the alleged letter Drita wrote to Ramona and then Karen's explanation:

So there you have it, the step by step outline of exactly what went down at the end of season 3.  Thank you Karen for telling us all what really happened and how it happened.

Mob Wives: Season 6 Is Karen Calling Out Drita?

Let me start by saying I love Karen's tweets. I can't swear I know exactly what she is mysteriously saying, but I try to read between the lines. This past Thursday Karen tweeted the above picture for #TBT. A little blast from the past. What you can't see is Renee is standing to the left of Karen and was cut in the edit. I have been studying this picture to see if there is a blog there. When I asked Karen she tweeted me I could get 5 blogs out of this picture. So here's my interpretation, but I have written about this before. At the end of season three, these four mob wives made a pact to stick together and ask for a raise. The show was doing well, and they felt they deserved more money. I happen to agree. Their agreement was, from what I have deciphered, that they all stick together and not return to work without more money. Well, the long and short of it is that Drita ended up selling out the others and negotiating her own deal. There were plenty of hard feelings at the time and probably still are. Fans of Drita refused to blame her and made excuses that she had a family to feed. To them I say so did the other three who are all single mothers, unlike her. So I have no sympathy for Drita, who not only doesn't know the meaning of the word "friendship," she doesn't know what "loyalty" means either. We've seen it time and time again.

So what is Karen saying with the tweeting of this picture? Well I am going to speculate that this is going to be part of season six's storyline. After all, Karen and Carla have a legitimate beef with Drita on two counts. First she blew them off as friends and then she betrayed them in business. Now, Ramona also has suffered from this betrayal. Ramona has had Drita's flip-floppin' number from day one. She only tolerated Drita for Karen's sake. She told us early on, in an interview, that we would see Drita's true colors and the truth would rise to the top like cream. I would not be surprised if Ramona came back for a little sitdown about this betrayal with the other two girls. However, I have to say that is wishful thinking on my part as I would love to have Ramona back. Now here is something not too subtle that was just tweeted last night by Karen:

Could Karen be referring to Drita?

We just posted a little twitter exchange between Karen and Drita in a blog, well not exactly between them because Drita has everyone blocked, including her own cast members and Jenn Graziano. But someone shared with Karen what Drita was tweeting and Karen responded (see highlighted link). This latest picture and message may be about the betrayal of the pact they made. Drita isn't going to want to hear the truth and the way she ran out of the room when Carla showed up last season tells me that she is guilty. Karen is all about the truth, so we know it's going to get out one way or another. Meanwhile, one of the new cast members, Marissa, is also talking about honesty the same day as Karen. Coincidence?

Sounds like something Karen could have written?

I think things are definitely heating up in Season 6 and hopefully it will spill out on Twitter for a glimpse of things to come. What do you make of all this?

Mob Wives: Joe Wants A Divorce Sneak Peek

Carla shocked about the word "divorce?"

Thanks to VH1 we now have a glimpse into the conversation between Joe and Carla where he nervously, but emphatically asks for a divorce. Carla seems to be a little in shock, and then somewhat upset. Joe wants to make a nice clean break and move on in a positive direction with his life...like this

Seems like Joe and Raquel just "fit"

But guess who else has already moved on with her life?  Yes Carla! So don't feel too sorry for her. Last week Carla and Handy were off in Puerto Rico for a nice little getaway...and I would think she would love to have her freedom, no? And by the way, who is watching the kids while the concerned mom is away?

In any case, when Joe compares his marriage to Carla to a "business arrangement" it's more than Carla can take and it leaves her with a sour taste in her mouth. Frankly, that was a poor choice of words for Joe to use if he was hoping for an amicable divorce. Carla starts telling him how hard she had it with him in prison, and gets no sympathy from Joe. He proceeds to tell her she needs to retain an attorney and get the process going expeditiously. Hopefully the scene will be longer than a minute on the show. Just watch Carla's facial expressions...

Mob Wives: Out With "The Old"

Joe's Midnight Kiss!

It's a new year and it's time for that saying, "Out with the old and in with the new!" And that sure applies to Joe and Carla and season three of Mob Wives. Carla has been throwing digs and daggers at this new "young girl, Joe thinks he can throw in her face." Carla shouldn't make it so obvious just how jealous she is and chill out. Otherwise, she just may get some frown lines.

Meanwhile, from the looks of the picture above, Joe and his young girlfriend really know how to celebrate New Year's Eve! Joe has some serious swagger and, is that an old fashioned "dip" he has pulled off, with the kiss? Yeah, I think so. Joe is a charismatic, romantic and I do believe Carla is still hooked on him. We'll get to see more of this on season three when she has to deal with the fact Joe and Girlfriend are moving in together. As the saying goes...out with the "old"...and poof Carla has been replaced in Joe's heart, his life and his home.

Carmen helping pick out new paint!

In the picture above, Joe's daughter, Carmen, is helping pick out the paint for Joe and Raquel's new home below. It looks like they are doing a great job of of painting too.

Here is the "paint crew" at work in their new home!

Now I also managed to find a couple of pictures of Carla's New Year's Eve to compare. Carla has been with Handy Man for at least a couple of years, more or less, so this is nothing new. But here you go:

They went all out on glasses! BUT couldn't they find a pair of 2013?

Maybe it's me?

Carla's New Year's Eve!

So there you have it! Who do you think did a better job of getting rid of the "old" and bringing in the "new"? I have my thoughts about it. Do you?

CANCER IS REALITY FUNDRAISER

Mob Wives in limo going to the event!

Last Thursday night a fundraiser was held to raise money for cancer. We can all relate to this disease. It’s great that so many of us have made a difference by partaking in breast cancer walks raising money for new technology and research. This particular fundraiser will benefit  people who can not  afford to get a mammogram on their own. Free mobile units will be set up for free mammograms. The biggest way to beat breast cancer is awareness and early mammogram's are the key.

Chip, Paulie (La Grande Cigars), Frankie

The event, which took place on the Arthur Avenue Market in the Bronx, looked to be quite a success. Set up in the middle of the market is La Casa Grande cigars, one of the hosts for the event, and they had  skilled professional cigar rollers on site.  The event featured some speeches, raffles and live music by Gfella, an Italian hip-hop artist.  Arriving early, I met Nora from Chicago Mob Wives, who was looking very nostalgic  in her outfit, and she seemed pretty busy helping out.

Big Ang and Gigi

Sheila and Pete Giudice

Pia looked stunning!

Frank Russo was looking HOT!

Arthur Avenue is known as the neighborhood setting that the Mama's Boys from the Bronx are from. Three of the boys were there from the show. Giovanni, the cannoli king; Chip, who's gym Krunch Time Fitness hosted and was he looking VERY handsome; and Frankie, who is always sweet.  Gigi from Jerseylicious, Sheila and Pete Giudice, brother and sister-in law of Teresa from RHONJ, were also there for support. The very charming Frank Russo, from Big Ang, also came by.  Mob Wives Big Ang, Carla, Leah and Pia all arrived together making a grand entrance. Big Ang came adorned in a lovely white big fluffy fur coat. Pia looked stunning in a little red dress. Carla, whose body is nearly perfect, sported a black studded dress, and Leah DeSimone, who wore pink. As soon as Big Ang hit the pink carpet camera flashes went off from every direction. 

Mob Wives got up to speak

Nora Schweihs

Each of the girls were called up to speak about cancer and mentioned someone they know who has been affected by the disease. They all thanked everyone for their support and were happy to be a part of the event. Big Ang & Carla had some fun behind the cannoli counter and the girls mingled with the guests and were open for picture taking with fans.

Cannoli fun!

A few times I strolled across the street for some fine wine and I guess Nora did the same. Laughing it up with the guys at the bar, she seemed to be having fun and we all had a few laughs.

It's always great to see the Mob Wives taking time out of their busy schedules to help a good cause. Cheers to everyone who showed up and supported the cancer event.
