Ramona reveals to Hollywood Life.com exclusively that she thinks Drita is using her kids as props on ‘Mob Wives.’
Mob Wives star Ramona Rizzo is not a fan of fighting on national television even though she got into a bloody battle with Drita D’avanzo and Karen Gravano during the Jan. 8 episode. But while this was Ramona’s first televised fight, it was Drita’s second time to draw blood on the hit VH1 series. Ramona tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Drita needs to learn to keep it under control, especially because Drita is a mother to two young girls.
“It is hard,” Ramona says. “She needs to go explain to her children why she keeps on doing this.”
But Drita is guilty of more than just fighting on TV. Ramona claims that Drita uses her children as props to bolster her storyline. “As time goes on she’ll use her child as a weapon to get the sympathy of the audience,” explains Ramona. “That’s what she did last year. If you believe that any 10-year old wants to sit there and say, ‘Mommy, what’s a rat?’ That was all coached. She even has her child acting.”
Ramona also had to explain to her kids about her on-screen battle. “As far as fighting, I did have to come home and tell my children because I don’t like to lie to them about anything,” she admits. ”I said, ‘Listen with or with out the cameras, it would still happen the same way. I was there to break up something that should have never been.’”
“I don’t go around glorifying fighting,” continues Ramona. “[But] I do tell my kids, ‘If anybody is going to touch you or tries to bully you, you need to stand up for yourself. You are not put in this world to be a doormat, so if somebody tries to do something to you or hurt your friend, you need stand up for your friend and stand up for yourself.’”

I watch this show occasionally but by far the most Unattractive girls are the two manly ones thAt are talking like teenage boys do about fighting after their balls drop. They probably do have balls and all their banter is probably just talk .. A person who is confident with their skills doesnt need to banter about it nonstop.. Then the fatty with the disgusting melon tits taking pics for the book is gross and the Ramona should drop the a from the end of her name

Drita is always talking about how tough she is, but in both fights with Karen she walked away fine. But in the last fight, Drita looked like she got her arse whooped! Drita all talk, disappointing!

Ramona’s lies are too much, why she is saying that she went to Jordan to get a divorce, we were married in the states , she could of filed for divorce there if that was the case, She followed me to Jordan with the kids to live there, but when she got caught sleeping with 2 guys and we were married, of cource she has to ask for divorce, and i left jordan after 8 months when she got to Jordan, she was with the kids and 2 boy friends at the same time , and no one stopped her from leaving, What A big lie she is.

I here that talons and karen say they were not trying to fight with but it is clear that they really was. Don’t try to make yourselves look good because yous don’t and ur right to stand up for ur girl but she shouldn’t have needed u to do that for her with Drita the feelings is about dritas husband and that he is keeping it real dritas children don’t have to b a prop for her because just like the rest of u u all really hold ur own differences between 2people can b resolve but not when some like u that clearly hates one or the other is involved u never wanted karen to make up u told her on life tv QUIT BEING NICE so when big Anyg left yous took the opportunity to try dog Drita and yous knew she wasn’t having it hope u can lessen ur burning fuel for Drita cause I am so interested in all six of u love watching

For Miss Ramona to flap her jaws about Dritas children makes her lower than dirt. It’s obvious she has a problem with Drita, she needs to keep that issue between her and Drita, and keep the children out of it. I watched the show, I also watched Ramona standing there ready to jump in just in case Drita and Karen started fighting. Even after Big Ang suggested to Ramona to go inside and let the other two have privacy to talk, but Ramona didn’t listen and she got hit (by who….I don’t know). Then she started acting a fool at the party AFTER the fight. Now she’s flapping her jaws about Drita. Imagine that.

People are so stupid. One, she was trying to break it up. Two, Drita didn’t bloody anything, real blood isn’t pink even in your mouth it has that iodine tinge to it, meaning it was a blood cap of some sort. And three, What makes her part of the cast is VH1 ANNOUNCING she and Big Ang were part of this seasons cast. If you guys are going to comment on things do your research or pay attention to what’s happening.

Get rid of Drita!! No more fake Bitches!! Ramona didn’t want to fight, and all she told Karen was to not fall for Drita’s bullshit!! Thats it. Drita should be a better example to her daughter’s. Also, young girls don’t ask what is a rat? That seems all staged by Drita as if she is coaching her daughter!! That is so pathetic!! Her daughter should ask her what is a bully!!!!!! Drita is a person that lacks the intellect to defend herself with words, she’s gotta get ghetto and fight!!!Dumb ass hoe!!

Wow! Drita isn’t a bully, and kids hear all kind of things from everywhere! I think she tried but she shouldn’t have, karen knew she had back up and drita didn’t. It doesn’t matter if ur a lady or not but if u feel threatened and the only way u can get out of the problem is to fight then u do what needs to be done. It does not show everthing on t.v.! Two on one pisses me off! And I’m sorry but that is what happened! Defending what they did is just as dirty! If a girl doesn’t take any crap doesn’t mean she’s a bully! Karen is a bully! Ramona likes to egg it on! Now that’s what I see!

If that’s what you think, YOU must be short and fat. And let your boobs flap out while your gums are flapping, too.
OMG....

please ramona.. you have nerve to talk.. you just want a chance to be in the spotlight.. don’t try to down play the situation. You and karen are both pussys. so go explain to your kid how you can’t fight on your own…

No drita is the pussy, she talks shit that she can’t back up, and then lies. i love how she said one thing, and they showed a flash back or her saying different. Karen told her how she felt plain and simple.

“Ms.” Jessica, are you really Ramona? We all know you are.
LMAO

You got that right. And Karen along w/her sidekick,Ramona showed NO respect at all for Renee at her party. They were both itching for a fight. There’s nothing trashier than grown women fighting like animals. Karen talks and acts like a pig and is so disgusting. She doesn’t even take care of her own child. She is disgusting and Ramona is a wanna be.

IMO, Ramona is the DUMBEST B**ch on T.V. Her jealous/envy is as green as the dress she is wearing. I didn’t even bother to read the article. She is a mental midget! A nobody! A loser! And the LEAST liked thing on MobWives….
Just saying

Ramona needs to mind her own business !!! Seeing as Karen has a good 200 pounds on Dritia, I’m sure Karen could take care of herself!! Not to mention her bloodline, which she bought up !!! Does she realize her blood line is most famous for being a SNITCH !!!! Who needs friends like that, you never know when they will turn on you !!! And, I don’t think Dritia uses her girls for anything !!! I think both Ramona & Karen are both just jealous of Dritia, she is much prettier, in SHAPE and has more class in her little finger than both of those MORONS put together !!! No, I don’t like the fact of Dritia fighting however, she was totally getting ganged up on and I’m sure she felt threatened. Still dosen’t excuse the physical violence. Other than the violence I say you go Dritia, screw those jealous bitches!!!

Ramona is a trouble maker, pushing Karen to keep this crap up with Drita, GET RID OF HER, I like the original cast. If you atart adding more people then you have ruined the oringinal show.

All the positive comments here are Ramona acting like she has fans!
*Note to Karen*
You know how you were a victim of your Dad? Now your daughter is of YOU. Y in the hell would you have your 12 year old daughter ON FB knowing you’re hated? Facebook is for 13 and up anyways.
First Renee. Sadly Jr. Is a Rat who used Renee to get close to her Dad to sell him out to save his own azz. What a punk.
Karen needs to grow the hell up. Like her dad said regarding “Mob” life, “it wasn’t her life style”
It seems like Karen has something to prove. Karen if your reading, just because your daddy was a punk and snuck up on people and killed them or confronted them with a gun when they didn’t have one, or made a guy suck his *ick, don’t mean people are going to respect you, respect is earned, just because your dad is a serial killer don’t mean people are going to fear you. Grow the hell up Karen.

Ramona and Karen are not even mob wives why are they even on the show. Renee needs to remember Dirita was the only one that would even have anything to do with Karen and Ramon needs to go back to ARABIA or what ever and Karen needs to causing trouble to get somebody to buy her book I won’t and tell everyone I know not to she needs to go back Arizona and be with her daughter.
