Mob Wives And Real Housewives Stars React To Big Ang's Death!

Mob Wives cast members and Real Housewives stars took to social media to share their reactions to sad news of the death Angela 'Big Ang' Raiola. The bubbly and iconic reality star passed away in the early hours of Thursday, February 18 at 3:01 a.m, after battling stage four lung and brain cancer at the age of 55.

The reality star's friend and her social media correspondent, Vinnie Medugo confirmed via the star's Twitter account, on behalf of her family.

"It is with sad regret that we inform you that at 3:01 a.m. Angela Raiola peacefully ended her battle with cancer, and was called home," the message on Twitter reads. "She was surrounded by nothing but love from her immediate family, and closest friends. YOU, (Her fans) were some of the most special people in the world, and she loved you immensely."

"Thank you for your love, prayers, and unconditional support of Angela right to the very end. She truly went out richer than any monetary value could ever amount to. The family asks for privacy, and peace during this most difficult time. In typical Big Ang fashion, we know she would say 'Love you my babies!' This page will remain open as a celebration of who she was and will always be. It has been my esteemed privilege and honor to represent her in the highest regard via social media. Vinnie Medugno."

"We're not here for a long time, we are here for a good time" Big Ang used to tell me this all the time, as she would point to her tattoo of the words. She would adamantly tell me this while going through my trying time, this is how she truly lived. She was always happy and positive and wanted to spread her Love to everyone around her to be happy as well. She gave so much of herself to all. She had that special gift to make everybody feel like a somebody. My boys and I adored her, she will be truly missed. Our prayers are with her family, they were all that mattered to her. May God Bless her Beautiful soul✨#bigloveforbigang #familyovereverything @biggangvh1 @roccogarofalo @badassboss

Heaven just gained another angel. (For all those who feel I didn't mention Angela last night, I did. But I also did not speak of her situation bc it is Not my business nor place to speak of it until the time was right. You have to know when to respect someone's privacy) You will be missed beautiful @biggangvh1 🙏🏼👼🏻💔
