Drita D'Avanzo Recaps the Mob Wives Reunion—And Answers Reader Questions!
Mob Wives star Drita D’Avanzo isn’t just the coolest gal in the gang—she’s also writing Mob Wives recaps each Friday exclusively for OKMagazine.com. See her inside take on last night’s reunion below!
Well it is sad to say goodbye to season 4, so the reunion is always hard to watch BUT always everyone's favorite. We are able to speak our minds (not that we don't always do). We are able to explain how and why we feel a certain way. I have had a ton of questions from fans.
I want to talk about how great everyone looked last night! The best look of the night goes to Big Ang. I absolutely loved her new hair cut!!! I loved her dress. The hood was right up my alley. Looked fantastic.
Watch: View an insane clip from last night's Mob Wives reunion.
I don't think people realize how difficult the reunion is for everyone. Reliving moments of the season that you want to forget or make believe didn't happen is not easy. This year, Renee went through hell with arguing and fighting with everyone BUT we all have been through it. I actually had it the worst and it sucks. Before I answer your questions, let's talk about the word "friends" that is thrown around this show way too much!
I think it's important to say that we all have history on this show (past seasons). I never spoke to Karen, Ramona, Carla, or Renee before Mob Wives ever happened (not for over a decade anyway). I just met Alicia and Natalie. So can you make friends on Mob Wives. Can you build a friendship with people you work with? Yes! But if you have been a fan, you would know that if we were all friends then you should feel like you're watching the show Friends, not Gladiator. LOL. I became close with Carla during filming, and now Alicia. We all work together so we are either going to work it out... or fight it out! I've known Big Ang the longest, and I think you can tell we agree with each other and just love each other. ♥
OK! News: Read the funniest quotes from Drita's past recaps.
@DritaDavanzo are you and Renee on speaking terms?
Yes. We are cool and I made that clear in the end.
@DritaDavanzo when are we going to see your rap mixtape or album? X
Soon!! I have been working on 2 tracks and hopefully heading towards finishing an album. I love being in the studio!! Also working on a music video:)
@DritaDavanzo what was ur reaction when u heard Natalie gave Renee coke and Renee wanted to be with Natalie?
Shocked! If that's true, then I think Natalie should never have said anything about Renee's habit. I have been on this show for years and honestly have seen this often. Someone talking about what someone did and they themselves do it often??? I hate that. As for Renee wanted to be with Natalie? That whole thing was just crazy! I was confused and mad that they had a fight and failed to mention that to us before vacation! Helloooo????
@DritaDavanzo: do these episodes drain your energy or get so much energy you can't sit still after filming.
DRAIN!!! My god..I could fall asleep standing after filming. It's mentally exhausting.
OK! News: Drita and Alicia revealed 11 behind-the-scenes secrets from the filming of Mob Wives.
@DritaDavanzo Alicia was all over the Lee questions! Said he's hot & answer ques abt him b4 u could?I was annoyed! Would u say some1's husband is hot?
I would probably say you make a nice couple, LOL. But Alicia is not a stranger. Only strangers need to keep their thoughts to themselves. Complimenting Lee is only complimenting me, that's the way I look at it. I'd rather be told my husband is hot then someone turning around and saying ewww he's busted. LOL. Bottom line is she meant it as a compliment.I 'll take it. :)

@DritaDavanzo Did you ever open up your store!
YES! It's doing incredible.Located in SI. 65 Page Ave, 10309. You can shop on my website and get all the info there :)
@DritaDavanzo I read somewhere Carla said on a blog you were not a true friend because since Mob Wives aired you don't talk as much? Is that true?
I worked with Carla for 3 years and had really good times with her. I have nothing bad to say about Carla. I'm not sure if she did say that BUT if she had an issue I would hope she would just text me. My friends text me, not call blogs or talk about our problems on social media. Last time I saw Carla we talked and we were cool so I'm sure that isn't even true. I have been so busy, any minute I have goes to my kids. Unfortunately I haven't had much time for anyone. I do need a good night out and a vacation!!!
@DritaDavanzo you're my absolute favorite and my husbands too. He loves your "Ride or Die" attitude! Will we ever see Lee?
Thank you! Lee was truly a guy from the streets. Guys that are from the street life don't try and be TV stars. He is the real deal. Thank god he changed his ways. I tried tooth and nail to ask him to come on Mob Wives but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. The name of the show is another reason he would never. He hates it, LOL. He's laid-back and loves his privacy!! Hopefully I can get him to shoot my music video with me. :)
@DritaDavanzo how do you manage everything in your life your a great mother n business woman you have balance.your my favorite!
I have no idea, LOL. It's honestly so hard. I'm always tired. I have no time for friends and hardly see my family but I just recently built an amazing team around me that is going to change all that. I have amazing people I am working with. I'm so lucky. :)
Watch: Mob Wives star Big Ang gave us a peek inside her purse!
@DritaDavanzo From all the Mob Wives seasons so far, what season is your favorite and why?
This season has to be my favorite BECAUSE I have my family together and I'm happy. Lady Boss has taken over and now sold worldwide. It's an incredible year for me. I also felt that you saw the funny level headed Drita this season. I rather be known for my humor than my temper and that's what you saw this season. :)
@OKMagazine ANY LITTLE DAVANZO'S IN THE HORIZON?
Not anytime soon. I feel like if I did have a baby I wouldn't be able to give the baby all my attention and enjoy every moment. Being a business woman and running several companies gives no free time. When I reach my goals, finish my books, launch my lingerie line then maybe...
And the most popular question!! I get over 400k tweets about this goes too... Am I going to have a spin off!??
@CarolMontesino1 @DritaDavanzo You rule! Btw your own show should be titled 'Lady Boss'.
@NancyWolfe73 @MobWives @DritaDavanzo #TeamDrita do your own show with your stores. Kinda like Ang n Miami #LADYBOSS
Thank you for all your support. Without my fans none of this would be possible!! I love all the tweets and support you have given me. You outshine the haters by far. As for a spin off!! I have great things to share... but it will have to wait. When I get the green light... I promise you will be the first to know.
