Renee Graziano, ‘Mob Wives’ Star, Breaks Down After Father’s Arrest [Video]
Renee Graziano had a rough year so far on this season of VH1′s “Mob Wives,” but nothing could have prepared her for the bomb that was dropped on her during the show’s latest episode.
Already feeling that her relationship with her ex-husband, Hector “Junior” Pagan is on the decline due to his legal issues, her life gets doubly turned upside down when a phone call informs her that her father, Anthony “TG” Graziano, was being taken into custody by Federal agents.
Frantically screaming, “They’re taking my dad! The feds are taking my dad!” a distraught Renee started pacing in her kitchen before she completely broke down.
Sobbing, she pleads, “Please don’t let them take my father!” before hanging up the phone and starting to scream hysterically.
So what’s the back story on Renee’s father’s arrest?
Shayla Perry of Sheknows.com fills us in:
On November 21, 2011, Junior turned himself in to the authorities for armed robbery and brandishing a weapon in a 2009 incident. Renee expected Junior to go back to jail, but what she didn’t know was that her father was going too; make that instead!
As it turns out, Junior made a deal to avoid jail time, and wore a wire while talking to his former father-in-law, helping the DEA bring Anthony “TG” Graziano down for extortion and other charges.
“It literally felt like somebody broke my chest, took my heart and pulled it out of my body,” Renee tells Us Weekly. “Just horrible.”
“I trusted my life with [him],” Graziano says of Pagan, who’s reportedly now in the witness protection program.
Admitting that she “was suicidal” in the days following her father’s arrest, Renee says that she has found forgiveness, telling the magazine, “If I don’t forgive, you’ll have hate … Forgive, but never forget.”

lots of overacting! lots of wasted airtime!

Devastating….The man you love and father of your child has to give up another man you love-your father.
Wow the 'game' is a cold one.
Mar 26, 2012
All of those winey, feuding women on Mob Wives need to forget their differences and give Renee some real support.
Mar 26, 2012
I never liked Junior anyway.
Mar 26, 2012
I always thought Junior seemed a little shady…….Still feel bad for Renee and her son.

I caught part of the "phone call" during channel surfing and the screaming alone scared me off. I have seen this show a couple of times and frankly, it's the most ignorant show I have ever seen, outside of Jersey Shore. Do we nothing better to do with the T.V. airtime that we pay for. I've said it before and I'll say it again, MTV and VH1 need to stick with what they started with….Music.

I watched one episode of this show. Some ugly, old woman (Big Ang) who had way too much plastic surgery was getting a spray-on tan. My nightmares haven't stopped.
Mar 26, 2012
They may be women but they are NOT Ladies! The time of my life (about an hour total here and there) wasted checking out that show can never be recouped, its a horrible show with horrible people.I know why(money) but I do not understand how this crap gets on the air.
Mar 26, 2012
I have to say…my heart goes out to Renee & her son AJ. You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family. It wasn't her fault she was born into that life style & I'm sure it's devastating to have that happen to you. Yeah, she's emotional, who would't be! Hang in there Renee & AJ!

My aunt makes $85 an hour and she got paid $9670 last month just for working a few hours a day online. All she did was get fortunate and apply the skills she saw here at http://urlgator.com/phe.
Mar 27, 2012
So…who's going to get to Junior first? The mob for ratting out? or Renee for betrayal?
Mar 27, 2012

Mar 28, 2012
LMAO These BIMBOs are a disgrace. This show should be taken off the air. It should be called RAT wives and daughters.

These women all deserve what they are getting. They know that their fathers and husbands are not in the boy scouts and all the money they get is a direct result of their criminal activies. Did they cry when the poor bastards that got shot or robbed of killed at the hands of their fathers and husbands and brothers? No they did not. They just took the money that was stolen from hard working people that these scum bags stole or embezzled in some phoney scam or credit card and ID theft or drug related crime. All of them should not be glorified in any way or felt bad for. Karma is a bitch ladies and you will all suffer like you have made others suffer. The pain of the things your fathers and husbands and brothers did last a long time and the effects are long range so it's time for all of you to suffer. I'm sure most is made up by the producers of this show but crime only pays until you get caught. Where do you think the money came from for you to sit around in your expensive clothes and fake boobs? The stock market? These people give hard working honest Italians a bad name. There is nothing romantic or intriguing about murder, extortion, loan sharking and all the other illegal crap that these mobsters do. Its all still crime with a pretty bow on it that is being sold to the American people from these stupid networks but if it smells like shit it is shit!
