Mob Wives star Rene Graziano breaks down while explaining how her ex husband Junior turned rat for the Feds and implicated her father.
The scene played out in the Brooklyn federal courthouse — but was dramatic enough for a TV reality show.Jacked from NY Post
“Mob Wives’’ star Renee Graziano broke down crying yesterday as she spoke about her ex-husband leaving the Bonanno crime family to become a government informant against her own father.
The impromptu drama took place after she watched her wiseguy dad led out of court by US Marshals and whisked off to a detention center to await trial on racketeering charges.
Her ex-husband, Hector Pagan, turned rat last summer as Graziano was filming her VH1 reality TV series.
At the time, Graziano and Pagan were discussing a reconciliation and she had no clue he was poised to betray her family.
While the series was still filming, Pagan secretly switched sides, strapped on a hidden “wire” recorder, and taped Graziano’s father as part of an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration probe.
That’s when the uncertainties of mob life suddenly became very up close and personal, Graziano told The Post.
“They’re in ‘The Life’ with you one day, and then cooperating the next,” Graziano said as she wiped away tears.
Because of the turncoat’s betrayal, her 71-year-old dad, Anthony “TG” Graziano, was charged with a slew of mob crimes.
Graziano and Pagan, who is in the witness-protection program, have a 17-year-old son who, she believes, was very upset by all that happened.
“My son is taking this very hard. He loves his father,” Graziano said.
And as far as Graziano is concerned, “I won’t forgive [Pagan] for what he did to my son.”
His acts, she said, amount to an “immense betrayal,’’ she said.
Graziano swore that if she had learned that Pagan had become a DEA rat, she would have tipped off her dad.
“I would have told my father — 100 percent,” Graziano said.
Doing so would likely have been tantamount to signing Pagan’s death warrant — given that the New York mob has a long history of murdering government informants.
Despite the unexpected turn in her life, the cameras are still grinding.
She said the series has been empowering to women who live in the male-dominated world of the Americcan Mafia.
“This is not about the men,’’ she said. “It’s about what women go through.’’

I would comment but I'm afraid I might get blasted, never mind lol, shit I dont fuck with the mob so I'ma chill with my 2 cents concerning this story, yall have at it
the mob aint shit nowadays they;re rats with roaches for bitches.she should be ashamed of being on television embarrassing i-talians.well its about time they make themselves look bad.these are the new breed of niggas!!!
The mob aint shit huh ? Go to Sicily and say that. Everything else I cosign.
This is why i trust no man....no one....trust no one....Renee should have known this...with his cheating ways,she should have wondered why NOW he wants to git wit chu...she should have at least wondered is he after fame....he wanted something....when we women let the man put his dic in us and we let him smell the pussy...we get weak...always be on guard ladies..weather a man is a snitch or on the DL ,being a homo...WAKE UP!!!!
Wow I feel for Renee,,,her father was barely out after a long bid,,this is a death sentence for her father.pagan cant hide forever too many people watch VH1 lol!
are u a nigga
Well no. I'm black. I just travel a lot and see a lot. Sayin the mob aint shit is foolish. They're here and over in Sicily too. Anyway, I feel they have enough shows about black people embarrassing themselves on BET and I'm kinda glad about this show (even though I don't watch). Reason being, I'm just glad I can joke with white people and be like Damn, these white folks cray. " ( I have no hate in my heart toward anyone though)
Nah, I would tell women to just be smarter about who they lay down with. Like stop letting superficial or illogical reasons tell you why you should give up the pussy to a dude. The man hate thing is gonna fix any woman's dating issues. Being guarded all the time only pushes people away. You can't fall in love if you trying to stand by yourself.
Well he deserves a punishment for snitching but I'm not happy about the fact someone might get clapped up for this, especially considering guy's a father. There is no redo button to press after someone is dead. Oh well, its the code of criminals, betrayal equals death.
I hate when stupid ass people use the term "Cray" to imply crazy....It's dumb...that's not what those Niggas were talking about.
Are they sure Renee's father is 71 years old??? Renee does not look a day younger than 70 herself. Renee please get a refund from your plasic surgeon.
Use your x ray vision superman/superwoman. It's not coming down.
Renee adams apple ?
