The NY Daily News is reporting that at an upscale sports bar in Chelsea, was broken when the cast of the reality show “Mob Wives” ran amok while filming there last week.
An insider tells Confidenti@l that bouncers had to step in when the VH1 show’s formidable, 6-foot-tall star, Angela (Big Ang) Raiola, suddenly went on a rampage and tried to attack fellow cast member Renee Graziano.
“Big Ang went psycho,” we’re told. “Renee literally ran out of the place. “I would run out, too — (Big Ang) is scary!”, said the source. “She was screaming at Karen Gravano and Renee, calling them ‘rats’.”
“It was a shock because Big Ang is so sweet — she’s really not a fighter. Renee must have really upset her. Karen got in the way, and she was tossed like a feather by Ang. Even the bouncers were having trouble controlling her, and the producers didn’t try — why would they?”
“Eventually Drita D’Avanzo managed to calm her down, and in the end nobody was hurt — there was just a lot of running and smeared makeup and spray tans,” said the source. “But the whole thing made a real scene in the restaurant.”
The series, which follows several wives and daughters of mafiosi, is shooting its fifth season, which is expected to premiere in December.
Big Ang and reps for VH1 and the Ainsworth declined to comment.
Looks like this season is going to be an explosive one, can't wait for December!
