NEWSFormer 'Mob Wives' Star Renee Graziano Spotted Outside Staten Island Police Station Following DUI Arrest
Mob Wives breakout star Rene Graziano was seen for the first time since her recent DUI arrest.
In photos obtained by The Daily Mail, the former reality star, 52, was seen on Wednesday, January 5, smoking a cigarette outside of a Staten Island police station mere hours after she crashed her car and was arrested for DUI.
According to the outlet, Graziano was then taken to a nearby deli where she was spotted holding two Louis Vuitton handbags and taking money out of an ATM machine. The former VH1 personality was later picked up by a different vehicle than the one she had arrived in.
Graziano sported a casual look rocking a grey sweatshirt with a matching pair of sweatpants and a pair of chic sneakers as she went about her hectic day.
As OK! previously reported, on Tuesday, January 4, the Playing with Fire: A Novel author crashed her 2020 Nissan Murano with New Jersey plates into a parked and unoccupied 2020 Jeep Wrangler in Staten Island. The crash reportedly occurred at 10:19 p.m. at the intersection of Arden Avenue and Arthur Kill Road.
Graziano was allegedly charged with driving while impaired by drugs after she told authorities that she had taken Adderall earlier that day.
According to eye witness reports, the daughter of crime boss Anthony Graziano was reportedly incoherent, had watery eyes and slurred speech after exiting the vehicle. Graziano was then taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for any injuries.
According to the outlet, the television star has previously dealt with substance abuse and depression — she reportedly entered rehab in 2016 for depression related issues.
"She is getting treatment that stems from her depression and some things that she has to work out," her sister Jennifer — who produced Mob Wives — noted at the time. "She’s been battling depression for a while and this kind of treatment kind of digs a little deeper than what she’s done in the past. So, I’m hoping she stays as long as she needs."
