Karen Gravano Talks Mob Wives

Karen Gravano sat down with The Breakfast Club to discuss her controversial past and her role on the hit show Mob Wives. Angela asked her about not getting along with Renee Graziano in the beginning of the season, because of their families past.

“Regardless, that’s my father so I’m gonna rep him til the day I die, because I love him as a father. But for me to be held responsible for what he did, that’s not what I’m here for, I’m here to just be me. Have people like me, love me, hate me, for who I am”

When Charlamagne used the word “rat,” Karen swiftly replied:

“We don’t use the word rat in here, I don’t like that. I rep my father… I don’t allow people to disrespect him. People say it, you can say it when I’m not here. But if you’re gonna say it to me then we’re just gonna shut the mics off and theres gonna be a problem! That’s my father so I just don’t let people talk to me like that.”

She also said that her family wasn’t in the witness protection program while living in Arizona.

“If [my father] was going to hide, he wouldn’t have came out and came to Arizona and just been like here I am… we never changed our last names, we didn’t hide, we just lived in Arizona. What he did, he did, we accept him for who he is as a father, and he understands what he did. That was his decision with John. He felt John betrayed him so that was his way of getting back.”

Karen talks about getting arrested for selling ecstasy in AZ. She only got probation because her father took the rap for her and her brother. She discusses her issues with Drita D’Avanzo. Karen and Drita we’re friends and Drita married her ex-boyfriend of 7 years. Karen said her and Drita lost contact when she moved to Arizona and heard they were together through a friend. She talks’s about her daughter’s father being black and says he lives in Arizona with her.

    • If you listen to the tape the fact her child’s father is black isnt a big issue. She said it and everyone moved on with minor footnotes so Im confused to why you made it a big deal and posted a comment about it? It just seems as if you are doing exactly what you posted that you hate so much. I believe you exact comment was get over it, dumb fxcks…. which is what I am saying to you.

  2. I also agree, why the issue of her daughter’s race. She is there and a human race has no issue in this.

  5. Karen should look into getting her daughter a keratain smoother for her daughter’s hair. The treatment remove any amount of what is referred to by some as “curl” in hair. I’m African American I have the keratain treatment in my hair. As I was getting my treatment there was two other women getting the treatment also, one was Asian (the hair of the race women who most women want to wear and a lot of women do) and the other was a blonde caucasian woman. It works great in all hair. It causes NO damage after use. It improve hair and promote growth. I’m a total hair person.

  6. Keratain is me. Not the crazy cowardly comment. Karen’s daughter is a very attractive little girl. Referring to her mother and the daughter’s parentage in such a way is so 1950′s.

    Get some education!!!!!

  7. I think the way all the wives gossip, fight and keep shit going except for Carla and Big Angie who is cool and funny as Hell. Stop being petty. Are you all a bunch of 13 year olds? They act like a gang of punk hoodlums that hang on ghetto corners. All of you are beautiful women, act like it and have some class and decency

  8. Drita needs to sit her as down. She looks and acts like a dude. I wish all these chicks would realize only karen,Renee, and the cousin can be referred to as mob chicks.

  9. I think she brought up the fact her daughters father is black cuz ppl probably was wondering was she mixed or not. That what made me search the internet to find out. And also like someone mentioned the old skool mob wouldn’t have for real. In fact their mostly racist. Not to sound crude but realistically speaking for the most part its true. Im black and dnt see color til color decides to see me. Meaning if your good ppl then im good with u. If your ignorant and racist then i view u as u view me, worthless and not worth time and just get the hell away from u!! Lol. But yea it’s not as a big of a deal her havin a black baby father. Ppl do it all the. Just mix it all up!! And create beautiful babies, kids and adults. :)
