Welcome to the Family... of 'Mob Wives'

April 12, 2011 Television

Move over "Jersey Shore," here comes something wilder! In the new reality show "Mob Wives," Karen, Drita, Carla and Renee dish out the drama in a season filled with fierce catfights, foul language, and coping with loved ones behind bars.

Karen's dad is the notorious Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, Drita's husband is serving time for robbery, both Carla's father and husband are in jail, and Renee's dad is a high-ranking member of the Bonanno crime family.

Meet the Ladies of "Mob Wives"

The ladies told "Extra" the biggest diva in their group is Renee. "Okay, it's me, but I've been like this since I'm like a little kid," Renee confessed. She also confirmed she will probably cause the most trouble on the show. "Oh, I'll take the cake on that one too."

Karen opened up about why she decided to appear in the reality show, explaining, "We want you to tune in and see what it's really like behind closed doors." Drita added, "In the movies, you don't see the wife, you don't see the kids, and you don't see the tears and the pain."

The 10-episode series, produced by real-life "mob daughter" Jennifer Graziano, will premiere on Sunday, April 17 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on VH1.
