Surviving the mafia, addiction and domestic abuse

Renee Graziano grew up inside a notorious mob family. The fame hid overdoses, a violent marriage and a betrayal that sent her father back to prison.

Renee Graziano is known to most people for Mob Wives. What the cameras never showed was the addiction underneath it, the marriage that turned violent, and the near-fatal overdoses she kept surviving.

She took me back to the beginning: growing up in a family where secrecy was the first rule, the betrayal that put her father back behind bars, and what generational trauma does to a person who was never allowed to name it.

She was nineteen months sober when we recorded. She talks about faith, about the fight to get her life back, and about what she would say to anyone still in it.
