The Charges Against Drita D'Avanzo

Charges against Drita D'Avanzo were dropped after her 2019 arrest.
Drita and Lee were charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal possession of marijuan and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

While fans have been clamoring for a Mob Wives reboot for years, an insider dished to OK! in January there has been no traction in that department.
Will 'Mob Wives' Return?

Drita D'Avanzo said she 'let go' of 'Mob Wives.'
“There have been rumors for years about Mob Wives finally coming back,” a source close to production shared at the time. “While some of the women have teased it, and many of them have remained hopeful their hit show may return one day, there has been absolutely no word on the show returning.”
While they noted supporters are “constantly telling the women they want the show to return,” they insisted, “things remain at a standstill.”
Drita had previously spoken out when Mob Wives ended to share she was content with where things stood.
“I let go of Mob Wives, I don't deal with any mob wives, so it's wonderful,” she said in an interview at the time. The star went on to stress as soon as the show came to its end, she was instantly “at peace.”
"I gained like 15 pounds,” she continued. “It is happy weight, it is. I was very stressed on that show. I mean, I wasn't eating, I wasn't sleeping. I was just all day in my kitchen thinking about how I wanna rip someone's head off their body and remove it, and now I don't gotta do that."
