Mob Wives: London's Stitches Out

London is looking good!

The past couple of weeks Mob Wives wasn’t on the air due to the holidays, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any drama. We blogged the off the air drama as we followed the story of London Rene, Gnat’s boyfriend, who had his face slashed by an acquaintance, Rodolpho Lopez, outside a Brooklyn club. Today London had his stitches removed and is doing well. There were a lot of negative comments on Gnatalie’s Twitter account calling her a “snitch” and a “rat,” some of them were directed at London too, because they called the police after the assault. Almost immediately following the attack, Gnatalie was already tweeting pictures of London with his face bandaged, the name of the hospital they went to and where they were going to see a plastic surgeon. Gnat made sure to tweet TMZ and VH1 at the time too. Gnatalie also went as far as to send messages on London’s account in order to notify family and friends about his injuries. Then Gnat started tweeting pictures of Rudy “Smooth” Lopez asking people to help the police apprehend him. Rudy ended up turning himself in. There were a couple of comments left on the blogs we wrote alleging that there may have been a motive for the attack. We have not verified the facts but, from what we could piece together, there was a tweet allegedly made by Rudy, saying he was jumped by five men and was just defending himself. London says he was just having a nice conversation when Rudy came up to him from the side and slashed his face. A reader of our blog, who seems to know Rudy and claims to know something about the situation made a comment. This reader alleges that Gnatalie was hanging out with Rudy over the summer and London didn’t like it. Maybe these are the “rumors” that London referred to in one of his interviews?

I’m glad to see that London is doing well. Like many others though, I am curious if Gnatalie’s actions or her ever-running mouth played a part in what happened to him. Stay tuned.


P.S. I just took a peek at Gnat’s Twitter timeline and this is what she had to say about the NEW Natalie Didonato . . .

"There's only 1 Natalie, riding her coattails, trying to be her, NatalieKnockOff" . . . that's rich. I don't think Natalie D is going to take this sitting down! Follow Natalie D @DidonatoNatalie

Mob Wives: Reporting London's Attack Is Not Snitching

London says, "There's snitching and there's doing the right thing."

There has been a lot of talk of "snitching" the past couple of days over the assault on London Rene. Many people are tweeting that it was snitching to call police and report the slashing that lead to the identification of the perpetrator. London has come out publicly to say this is not snitching and I have to agree with him if he is an innocent victim, as he claims. Innocent victims must come forward and report crimes to authorities. If they don't, all the criminals would be out on the streets committing crimes without consequence.

The meaning of the word "snitching" and "rat" used to refer to gangsters cooperating with authorities against other gangsters. They did this to get out of going to jail or for a reduced sentence themselves. However, for some reason, the meaning has been generalized over time, in some places, to include people who are innocent victims of crime and report it to police. I do not think most people would call that "snitching."

London has been through a serious assault and is now having to deal with people calling blowing up his timeline with the word "snitch." As far as we know, London did not have any dealings or altercation with the assailant and was minding his own business when attacked. Do we really want a criminal out there who would go up to anyone and slash them with a box cutter? I don't think so.

Now can there be more to the story? It's possible. We may learn more in the following days when the suspect is apprehended and has a chance to tell his story.

Here is an interesting blog about what snitching was about and what it has become. It was written by a prosecutor: The Law on Snitching

Mob Wives: Update on London Rene Slashing!

Just minutes ago, both Gnatalie and London were on TMZ discusing what happened at Club Output, in Brooklyn at 3:20 am on Sunday morning. London says the pain is manageable, but he is very angry at the moment. London says he was having a good time, in a conversation with a friend and holding a drink, when he saw a person come up to the side of him from the corner of his eye. The man slashed him and London says he grabbed him and held him down for a minute or so. No words were exchanged, but he says he knows the person and handed him to Club security and told them to hold him for police. Security let him go and the guy ran out and jumped in a cab. London says he is 1000% sure who the person is and they have pictures of him from social media. Gnat says the slashing happened so fast and then they were on the floor. There doesn't seem to be a solid motive for the assault, which resulted in his receiving 250 stitches.

London wanted to make it very clear that there was no snitching involved. He was the victim of a crime and this is what you are supposed to do. 

If you want to see the tweets about the alleged perpetrator of the crime you can check out Gnat's Twitter @NatalieEGuercio or @LondonUKRene.

London has one request:

We wish London a speedy recovery from his injuries. 

UPDATE: Cops Identify Suspect  as reported in New York Post!
