Renee Graziano: Mobster Dad, Rat Ex-Husband & Mob Wives
Renee Graziano joins Ian Bick for a conversation about growing up in a powerful mob family, marrying her ex-husband Hector Pagan, discovering he was a rat, and navigating the chaos that came with her father Anthony Graziano’s prison time. Known for her breakout role on Mob Wives, Renee opens up about the reality of being raised in organized crime, the emotional toll of betrayal, her battles with addiction, and how fame magnified everything she was already struggling with. She breaks down what viewers never saw on Mob Wives, how the show changed her life, what it was really like being one of the most recognizable faces on reality TV, and how she’s been rebuilding her life with honesty and strength.
