Mob Wives Misses The Real Stuff About Renee, Junior & TG

Renee GrazianoFans of Mob Wives, the alleged reality TV show on VH1, will appreciate the following report. It provides all the juicy stuff you won’t see on the show. In fact, if this works out, we may also start filing copy for Soap Opera Digest like our old friend from the Daily News, Carolyn Hinsey, who has been tracking TV soaps for years. For starters, there’s more trouble ahead for Renee Graziano, star of the show and daughter of real-life Bonanno family wiseguy Anthony Graziano. The 71-year-old TG had been considering a plea deal to his arrest for loansharking. But that was then. Last week, Renee’s dad was indicted on extortion conspiracy charges. A few days after her old man faced that music, daughter Renee was seen on Mob Wives welcoming back into her home, with loving arms, ex-hubby Hector Pagan, a longtime Bonanno associate. That was pretty good TV, but what you didn’t hear them talking about was how Junior turned snitch, and secretly began working for the feds last year. Junior was directly responsible for putting Renee's father behind bars. And now he says he's sorry.

Lesson learned: Write them off. There are stool pigeons everywhere.
