Last night’s Mob Wives was an all out war — the weapons of choice? Acrylic nails, silicone and weave. It was quite a battle!
At Big Ang’s request, Drita D’Avanzo agrees to try to mend fences with Karen Gravano. Drita attempts to apologize, but Karen isn’t having one second of it. They are back to the conversation on the rooftop last season. Big Ang mistakenly thinks things are copasetic as she watches from a distance. Um. Karen accuses Drita of claiming she put Karen in the hospital. Drita never said that… but she did hear it, and it seemed plausible as Drita typically puts people in the hospital.
Ramona approaches, reminding the ladies that Renee’s birthday isn’t the time of place. Drita swings at her and it is an all out hair pulling brawl. Ramona won’t let go of Drita’s hair, no matter how much Derek Tobacco (what a great name!) tries to stop her. Ramona’s mouth is bleeding (or is that smeared lipstick? Nah, totes blood) and Karen is threatening Drita with “her bloodline.”

As reality fights go, it’s pretty solid. Renee is beyond livid that her friends would choose to throw down at her birthday party. Ramona thinks it was Derek who bloodied her mouth and she keeps screaming she’s going to kill him. It’s time to take off the shoes and start running. Renee is upset that Drita thinks this whole situation was a set up and she can’t believe that Ramona is accusing Derek of hitting her. Renee gets Drita into a van and begins screeching at her friend, demanding to know what happened. Drita is hysterical… and not crying hysterical, crazy hysterical.
Back inside the party, Karen is explaining to Big Ang that her attempt to reconcile the former friends went totally sour. Karen is way tougher and harder and punker than Drita. She’s a bigger fighter, a bigger hard a$$… you get the picture. Big Ang, my new favorite, just looks over it. Back in the sketchy van, Drita continues to cry “set-up” to which Renee screams that her son would die of cancer before she’d ever set Drita up. Ahh, I think a simple, “no I didn’t” would be better. She also offers to let Drita punch her in the face if she truly believes Renee would do such a thing.
Derek Tobacco makes the stupid decision to go back into the party. Ramona sees him and goes ballistic. It’s amazing that it takes several giant men to hold back these little ladies. Not to be outdone, Karen goes equally ballistic. Karen starts throwing plates while Derek takes refuge on the balcony. One boob exposed, Ramona tries to wreak havoc on Derek. Renee kicks everyone out of her party, while Karen tries to get the guys on her side, telling Junior and company that some dude hit Ramona in her face. Renee and Karen get into a screaming match and Renee pleads with Junior to take her home — but Junior and company is ready to kick Derek’s hiney. He manages one good punch into the van before it speeds off into the night.
Big Ang is realizing she may not have a career as a mediator. She can’t believe no one even got to sing or eat cake before the fight started. Carla is pretty relieved she didn’t receive an invitation to Renee’s party. She leaves a message for Drita to find out if all the rumors she is hearing are true. Back at Renee’s house, she is explaining the background of the fight to Junior and AJ. Over lunch, Karen and Ramona can’t believe that Drita ruined Renee’s party. Yeah, it was just her. Karen thinks its hilarious she blackened Drita’s eye. Ramona finally admits that poor Derek didn’t hit her — Drita’s ring nicked her face. Junior tries to teach Renee that you should never put two people that hate each other in the same room with alcohol. He reveals that he apologized to Derek for the “misunderstanding.”
Carla comes over to Drita’s house to hear the full story. Drita’s eye is totally bloodshot and bruised. Drita reminds Carla that if Karen didn’t want people to know she went to the hospital after their last brawl, she shouldn’t have gone to the Staten Island ER, as all their friends work there. Drita is adamant she didn’t make up that rumor. Carla thinks that Ramona is nothing but an instigator.
Ramona and Karen spend the day in Little Italy. The pair goes to Mob Scene, which is a gallery devoted to mob memorabilia. Karen tells the gentlemen running the gallery how her father got his “the Bull” nickname and admits that she knew that her family was connected to the mob at an early age. Ramona, however, didn’t have a clue her family had any times to crime families until she was older. It turns out the Al Pacino’s character in the movie Donny Brasco is a depiction of her grandfather. She recounts meeting Al Pacino on set and telling him what a family man her grandfather was.
Junior is going to court to hopefully negotiate a plea bargain (he’s currently awaiting sentencing in a giant mob bust). Junior is a two-time felon and Renee is hoping for the best for her ex-husband, but she’s bracing for the worst. After his hearing, he’s looking at 15-20 months in jail, but he won’t be sentenced for at least six months. Junior reveals that watching Renee go through her horrendous surgery made him realize how much she means to him. Renee tears up as he approaches a reconciliation, but she is worried about his past infidelity. She is hopeful that things will work out between them.
Next week, Junior and Renee have a romantic dinner where she reminds him what a cheater he was in the past. Carla and Renee face off over Carla’s absence during her post-surgery trauma. Ramona goes to jail.
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE? WHO WAS IN THE WRONG DURING THAT BRAWL? SHOULD RENEE TAKE BACK JUNIOR?








Hey Drita, you can NOT claim you were jumped when you threw the 1st punch! NO good friend will just stand by and watch their girl get punched. Sorry, but it’s a free-for-all after that sweetie.
I heart Drita she is my favorite on the show… but it’s killin me that people think she got jumped. Drita didn’t get jumped! Had she gotten jumped she would have walked away with way more than a black eye. Someone cannot be jumped when they throw the first punch. When someone gets jumped most of the time it’s a surprise attack that you don’t see coming. Drita thought they were trying to back her into a corner which is why she threw that punch… but when you go in guns blazing then you can’t expect people not to react. I firmly believe had Drita not thrown that punch then I don’t think that conversation would have come to blows…. But before that Ramona should have stayed her ass out of it. Her going over there to bump her gums only made the situation worse. And I think she knew what she was doing …she is full of it. She knows Drita is a hot head and knows that if Drita felt like she was being set up or attacked that she was going to throw punches… Hell I know that and I don’t even know Drita…It’s too bad though cause these chicks are fighting over dumb shit and at the end of the day I bet they have all forgotten why they are fighting in the first place.
It doesnt matter who threw the first punch….it is considered being jumped when other people “jump in”
Karen and cousin Ramona were attacking Drita verbally and both were bitchin’ at the same time overlapping each other. Graded on my last nerve.
Karen starts throwing dishes? Ramona her cousin stands there with her breast hanging out? Whats so tough about them?
Drita is tough and funny. My fav.
Derek Tobacco was actually on The Millionaire Matchmaker, lol.
LOVE DRITA!!! I KNOW DRITA WOULD HAVE BUSTED BOTH MOBBRATS ONE BY ONE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY. BUT SHIT HAPPENS.
KAREN SHOULD GO BACK HOME AND RAISE HER DAUGHTER, ACT LIKE A PROPER MOTHER YOU ARE RAISING A TEEN.
ROMONA GO BACK UNDER THE TREE YOU CAME FROM.
DEEJAE! NICELY SAID…
@103 crazy analogy. Getting jumped is being physically assaulted by someone else, it has nothing to do with verbal interuptions. As hood as Drita is, I am sure she would agree.
Drita brought that blood shot eye on herself when she swung out on Karen and Ramona. Drita could have walked away if she did not want to hear what Karen had to say, well before Ramona came up…when things started getting heated… As much as I love Drita she brought that on herself.
@83…wow your rage is clearly displaced, honestly I couldn’t get past your foul and unecessary profane language. I don’t take it personally though, as it holds no weight with me. Let me know when you’re up to an educated debate, in the mean time, I stand behind my original post (@75). smooches
You know what is Karen trying to say to Drita anyway- that she should of tried to hunt her down in Az and asked her first before she got with Lee? Or that she doesnt like or trust Drita regardless now ?If that is it she shouldnt have brought her azz out to hang with her and be on the show. Really she isnt a mob wife anyway just a good friend of the producer and using that to be on the show. Pathetic really.
Karen is so focused on this problem cause she brings nothing else to the show- unlike the others who do. By others I mean Drita, Carla and Renee
I couldn’t believe Karen was being so verbally abusive to Drita when Drita was really trying to make an effort to put whatever it was they were fighting over behind them.
Ramona she’s a real piece of work. She’s the reason that fight happened. Karen can’t stand her now. I thought she came back to Staten Island to write a book, it seems like one can write a book from anywhere, so that makes no sense. She came back to be on this show.
She’s not as tough as she would like us viewers to believe. She’s all mouth but let’s face it, these are 40′s something women having a fist fight? Really? Seriously?
I thought that stuff was left behind in high school.
And the hair pulling is just dirty fighting so whoever had Drita’s hair wasn’t really fighting with her, they were just pulling her hair which is always the way women fight.
I don’t think I can watch another show with so much violence between grown women. It’s not normal, it’s not entertaining, and violence begets violence.
Why couldn’t it be a show just about their lives and living with incarcerated husbands and fathers who were in the mob. Class them up as people, instead of making them look like the thugs that their husbands and fathers were.
I would find it very entertaining to just watch their lives without the violence. I think I’m gonna have to switch channels on this one.
Grown women fighting that’s stupid and ignorant.
I just want to clarify one thing. Drita NEVER said she was jumped. Drita said she was set up.
RAMONA is the one saying that Drita is telling people she was jumped. But, consider the source…So the arguments on what considers being jumped is kind moot since I believe that Ramona is just making that shit up the same way she made up the stuff about Drita saying she put Karen in the hospital. Ramona is there to instigate on Karen’s behalf and I wouldn’t put it past her to lie in order to do that. She is after all the one who told Karen she needed to “stop being nice.” When Karen was only ever nice to Drita when it suited her storyline of trying to be friends again with Renee.
Karen got hard because her cousin was there. Drita tried to talk to her like a friend but Karen started to pop off because her cousin was there. If I was Drita I would have swung first also, because it was obvious they were getting ready to attack her.
Hey RealityTea!
DId you notice that Pricilla from Bad Girls Club Season 7 was at the party ? She was trying to break up the fight between Drita and Karen and Ramona !!!??
@109…wow ur ignorance is evident! My “rage” as u call it is more passion and if u read my comment correctly it was very much directed at that fat whore karen not u! Only a self centered, ignorant person would think it was about them which u clearly are. The amount of profanity i use does not negate the facts. An intelligent person can read through any profanity and understand the passion of the writer and get the facts and meaning. Ignorance=stupidity and that’s where u are, so shut the fuck up, learn to understand what ur reading and get ur facts straight! Smooch my ass bitch!
don’t like Ramona, but Drita – you shouldn’t have let them goad you like that to throw the first punch. Karen’s just a loud mouth.
@ 69 — funny
I’ve always known the term ‘jumped’ as an uneven fit such as 2 on 1, or 5 on 1 or 6 on 2, whatever. It can mean that you were walking down the street and 5 pple ‘jumped’ out and beat you out but if I get into a fight with Chick A (even if I threw the first punch) and Chick B ‘jumps’ in then I got jumped. Thats why Drita makes the point that she was at the party alone. A fight should always be even, only punks gang up on people.
If someone punches my friend, then its a fair fight even if she gets beaten up, you win some you lose some.
i do think that drita was trying to make amends. Karen knew EXACTLY what would happen when she approached Drita on the balcony. she could have easily told Big Ang this is not the place to talk. BUT she went out there talkin slick with mad attitude because she had backup. Karen and Drita were “friends” that hung out remember? SHe knows damn well what would push Dritas buttons. BOTTOM LINE: dont get into anybodys face talking shit, esp. when you know they are NOT afraid to hit up. If i were Drita, I would have swung too. btw…Ramona and Drita have known each other or a long time. I think Drita will BEAT HER ASS
Listen, I don’t care what anyone else says. Drita swung because she was cornered by two hating s**t talkers. She isn’t gonna be cornered, especially by Fatal Attraction and Lucifer. And yes she WAS jumped because Karen could have easily told Ramona to go, but she just had to JUMP IN and try to get her shots in when it was originally just Karen and Drita.
