They can see (bleeping) anything!”Īnd HEAR anything, like those raunchy rap songs. “I’ll be honest,” says Drita, “I wish my kids had grown up in the `50s. “Crazy-spoiled, these kids,” Carla chimes in. “They say, `What?! What?!’ They have no imagination.” “I tell them to go outside and play,” Drita erupts as two video cameras hover. Like kids today, with all their electronic gadgetry! It would make a good talk show, a rawer, much-bleeped version of “The View.”Īrranged on Karen’s sprawling red couch, the women tear into a slew of hot topics. Probably just snippets will end up on the air, but, taken as a whole, the session is funny, earthy and oddly relatable. Renee happens to be absent for this get-together, but when taping begins, Karen, Drita and Carla chatter for nearly an hour. Why not? As she reasons, “So many people have judged me already because of who my father is, and the type of lifestyle they believe we led.” That’s part of her reason for being in “Mob Wives.” She is also writing a book about Growing Up Gravano. “I think our parents tried to keep us out of it, but it’s the only world you know,” she says, “and in Staten Island, everybody looks up to gangsters and street guys like they’re celebrities in Hollywood.”īut Karen has learned there’s a downside to the underworld. “We are all similar women who come from a similar world and the same life situations,” says Karen, who, for a future episode, was hosting a kaffeeklatsch recently in her living room that overlooks New York harbor.
Keeping it all in the family, the show’s creator and executive producer is Jennifer Graziano, Renee’s sister.
