Cameras are rolling in the Ocean State for Bravo’s Real Housewives of Rhode Island. While the network hasn’t confirmed any names, outlets in the area are working overtime to identify the cast. One of them is a woman named Elizabeth McGraw. Allegedly, she has some deep ties to an accused drug dealer.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island cast may have some interesting connections
A Rhode Island outlet called GoLocalProv has been doing the boots-on-the-ground reporting on RHORI. Earlier this week, they identified two ladies being followed around by camera crews, seemingly confirming their participation in the show.
Elizabeth was one of the women they identified, and they’ve been spilling tea on her since 2023. Allegedly, the Rhode Islander has connections to a man named Dino Guilmette. He’s facing seven felony charges, including intent to manufacture or deliver cocaine, perjury, and obtaining property under false pretenses. On top of that, the feds have accused him of having close ties to an organized crime family. Of course, he’s innocent until proven otherwise.
Here’s where Elizabeth comes into the picture. Her husband is Gerry McGraw, a major player in Rhode Island’s cannabis industry. Both Elizabeth’s and Gerry’s names are all over the court records for Dino’s case.
For example, prosecutors uncovered that the McGraws made nearly 400 phone calls to Dino in one month. The only person Dino called more than the McGraws? A man named Matthew Guglielmetti, known by the Rhode Island State Police as a leader within a New England organized crime family.
On top of all of the phone calls, a key source in Dino’s case told the feds that they suspected Elizabeth had been “fronting” Dino’s operation. The feds also presented an unusual police report from May 2020, where the cops went to the McGraws’ home because of a dispute with Dino. The police were able to diffuse the “disturbance” without any arrests.
Dino’s case is still ongoing. His next hearing is next month. In the meantime, it’s worth reiterating that Elizabeth has not been charged with a crime. It’s just not every day that we see an aspiring Bravolebrity name-dropped in so many affidavits.
