Karen is fuming that Carla keeps defending Drita D’avanzo and keeps talking smack about her best friend Ramona Rizzo. Will Karen and Carla settle their differences — or is this war?
During the Jan. 22 episode of Mob Wives, Karen Gravano calls for a meet-up with her enemy Drita D’avanzo‘s ally Carla Facciolo. But what is supposed to be a quiet conversation quickly turns into a heated argument. Karen jumps out of her chair and corners Carla.
The episode starts out with Karen admitting that she has issues with Carla. She’s mad that Carla constantly takes her enemy Drita’s side.
And Carla clearly does have Drita’s back. Carla meets up with Drita, who is still upset with Karen for attacking her at Renee Graziano‘s party. Drita is insistent that Karen punched her in the eye while she was being held down and unable to defend herself. Drita and Carla also agree that they don’t like Karen’s good friend and ally Ramona Rizzo, who they call “Lucifer.” Drita claims that Ramona is the reason that the fight went down at Renee’s party in the first place.
Because of all the drama, Karen calls Carla — and they meet up for drinks. “I don’t want to have an issue with you, but I felt like you were involved in it [the season one balcony battle between Karen and Drita],” Karen tells Carla. “I felt like you were with her [Drita].”
Karen hates that Carla is defending Drita — and Carla is mad that Karen keeps talking bad about her friend. The conversation quickly turns into a heated argument. ”Bitch, I will tell you right now. You are going to go to war with me, and you don’t want to go to war with me,” Karen threatens. “Maybe you don’t want to go to war with me,” Carla returns.
Karen jumps up and walks over to Carla. Carla tries to walk away, but Karen follows. They are getting out of control and it looks like Karen may just throw a punch at Carla.
But then Karen suddenly calms down and tells Carla that she doesn’t want to fight with her. Carla agrees as long as Karen will stop bringing up Drita. They come to a truce that they can be friends as long as Karen leaves Drita out of conversations and Carla stops bad mouthing Ramona.
“I respect that she’s loyal, even though she’s loyal to a ho,” Karen tells the cameras after.
Meanwhile, Renee’s relationship with her ex-husband Junior Pagan is going so well that he moves in. But they are having problems with their son AJ acting out. Renee asks Junior to set him straight.
Angel Raiola, aka Big Ang, is also having trouble with her son, who is named AJ as well. She wants him to get a job and stay away from the “lifestyle.” But AJ doesn’t seem that interested in starting a career.
Ramona has her own problems going on as she just got out of jail. She was arrested along with her boyfriend, who is involved in the “lifestyle” — and it’s all over the news. Ramona decides that she has to tell her four kids about what happened.
While Carla and Karen may seem to have settled their differences by the end of this episode, it’s only a matter of time before the Mob Wives are back at war.

Karen is a fat chic. Ramona is fake. They jumped Drita but one on one they can’t mess with drita. Karen is jealous because drita looks better than her. She is a looser and she messy. Act like a woman not a Hood rat.

Karen wouldn’t bust a grape or bruise a banana. The girl is crazy. She talked all that ish to Carla, then she wants to be friends & have a shot. Karen ain’t that crazy, though. She ain’t crazy enough to get at Drita wild. Karen only seems to eat, sleep & talk ish. She ain’t solid, she is a joke.

First gotta say Big Ang is the bomb! Big Ang, Renee and Drita rock this show! Gotta see this episode again cause I can’t believe what I saw, what a trash bag Karen is, bullying Carla for taking Drita’s side of things, can’t believe Carla then had a shot with her. Karen calling Drita a ho…really…Karen puts the s in skank!!

It’s too bad tv has become this, glorifying trash. Who watches this, what is there to learn? These are “women” who live on SI, and want to be worshiped.

Omg, I can’t stand karen! This girl has lost her freaking mind! A grown woman acting like she does makes me sick. Going to war with her, give me a break. Everyone is scared of her and that confuses me. And carla is nothing but a wimp, the last thing I would have done is have a shot with her after what was said. These girls r wierd, karen most of all! She is looking for something and when she finds it, she might just regret what she finds. I want though, I will enjoy seeing her getting her ass beat! On tv!
