In the biggest surprise of all, turns out Mob Wives' Rene Graziano's husband is a snitch!
Mob Wives goes from reality to real with arrests.Jacked from NY Post
The “Mob Wives” yesterday found out that one of the cast members has been wearing a wire for the FBI.
Not as a reality TV stunt. For real.
The ex-husband of “Wives” star Renee Graziano, Hector “Junior” Pagan, who was seen regularly on the hit reality series last year and was set to play a prominent role in the upcoming season, was reportedly flipped by the feds last summer.
And his first victim was no less than Bonanno crime family capo Anthony Graziano — the father of Renee and show creator Jennifer Graziano.
Pagan, a family associate, was arrested on Staten Island last week — in the midst of filming the series’ upcoming season — along with his former father-in-law.
THE WIRE:Renee Graziano’s ex-husband Hector (left) was revealed yesterday as a mob turncoat who’s secretly been taping her capo father, Anthony (right).
But yesterday the cast and crew learned from a report in the online mob newsletter ganglandnews.com that Pagan had been secretly taping conversations with the elder Graziano for the government.
It was a jolt of real-life drama for the show that has relied heavily on mob stereotypes and hair-pulling brawls.
“The first inclination is always to say, ‘Shut it down,’ ” a shaken Jennifer told The Post of the show yesterday.
“Itisa reality show, and I knew this was going to be personal to me going into this,” she said. “But I didn’t knowthiswas going to happen.”
According to reports, Pagan — who was looking at a long prison term for armed robbery for his role in allegedly sticking up a high-stakes poker game — agreed to wear a wire and record conversations with his ex-father-in-law.
The tape reportedly caught the elder Graziano instructing Pagan to collect a $150,000 loanshark debt from an unidentified man.
Graziano, 71, recently finished a substantial prison sentence when he was arrested at home last week.
Pagan — father of Renee’s 17-year-old son AJ, who also appears on the show — appeared in several episodes of the VH1 show last season and was slated to be a bigger character this season, Jennifer said.
In the first episode of the new season, set to begin Jan. 1, Pagan is shown pacing outside the federal courthouse in downtown Brooklyn, telling Renee via cellphone that he had been offered a deal by prosecutors on an earlier arrest.
The show has completed shooting seven of a scheduled 12 episodes and will incorporate yesterday’s real-life drama into its storyline, Jennifer said.
“We’re making a reality show, and this is the reality of what’s going on,” she said.
How is Renee reacting to the news?
“Renee is an open book and lets people into her life because she wants people to understand what she’s going through,” Jennifer replied.
The sisters claimed last year that their father had cut off all contact with them because he did not approve of the TV show.
Jennifer said her father is now “taking it as it comes.”
As for learning that his ex-son-in-law helped put him in jail again, “I’m sure he’s not thrilled,” she said.
“He spoke to my mother and he just said he wished he could have had Thanksgiving with his family. He’s [locked up] and he’s going to deal with it.”

OOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT A FUCKING SHAME..... FAKE ASS GANGSTAS...
I'm not surprised. There's no such thing as honor amongst criminals.Criminals are usually only concerned with self-preservation.There are exceptions to this though.Anyway, the law enforcement agencies are the real gangsters. When they have people caught by their genitals, more often than not, they sing as soon as they realize there's no slick way out of their predicament.

This whole story is a joke. This happened in December 2011, not this year.
December, January not that much time has passed for this not to be news. If you read the name of the blog its gossip jacker it doesen't say current up to the min jacking.
omg.... i am so sick of renee graziano... she is panicking from the news on the show screaming i dont know what to do, i cant save my family... HEY RENEE!
here's something you could of done... you could of hung the phone up and took your ass to bed!!! If your husband was any kind of husband and father he would of had his ass at home with you all instead of out committing crimes. you are doing a show about your life and in a sick way are bragging about your lifestyle and your fortunes but you have nothing to be proud of. My husband goes to work and earns money to provide for his family, that is what is honorable!!!!!!!!!!
That is why the snitch came home...to use Renee. Let's see if he can swim wit some cement shoes. It aint the Graziano's fault Junior's a stooly. Shame on him for disrespecting the Family!! He might as well paint a target on himself. Goodbye Joonyah!
Leave Renee alone, she is a down ass chick to put up wit his ass. R, don't u be sending that fool no packages unless it's a knife so he can do himself in before the Wise Guy's do. IF he makes it out of jail alive that is...
yeah let him swim witda fishes
