In a new video, Drita confesses she ‘still has issues’ with the divorce. Will she go through with it?

At the end of season one of Mob Wives, star Drita D’avanzo consulted an attorney to seek divorce from her jailed husband Lee D’avanzo after she learned he cheated on her before going to prison. In a new VH1 video Drita reveals she still hasn’t finalized the divorce — and she’s nervous about getting back into the dating world.

“I have not spoken to Lee all summer,” Drita reveals. “I still have issues. I have steps to take to finalize the divorce still.”

Drita is worried that single men might fear her now.

“I think that dating is going to be really scary now that I’m on Mob Wives, because now no one’s coming,” she says. “I do get angry on the show at times. My veins seem to pop out and say, ‘Hello.’ They have their own fans. My veins sign autographs.”

But Drita doesn’t want people to think that’s who she really is deep down.

“I gotta tell the guy I don’t always get like that,” she says. “I’m not going to come in the house and hit you over the head with a bat.”

Drita also separates her friends from her enemies within the cast. “I’ve seen Renee [Graziano] and Carla [Facciolo] this summer,” she shares. “I have not seen Karen [Gravano] at all.”

Mob Wives returns for a second season Jan. 1 on VH1, so be sure to check HollywoodLife.com for weekly recaps.

Wendy Williams sits down with the Mob Wives for their reunion on July 10. It’s the first time that Drita D’avanzo and Karen Gravano have seen each other since their massive bloody battle during the season finale — and the fight is still on! Carla Facciolo and Renee Graziano also get into a heated argument that causes Renee to leave in tears.

Drita kicks off the evening by discussing the status of her relationship with her husband Lee D’avanzo after finding out that he cheated on her. “Lee and I aren’t speaking. I filed for divorce,” she admits. “It’s not finalized yet.” And reveals that she confronted Lee’s “guma”(girlfriend of an Italian mobster).

Carla then opens up about her estranged husband Joey Ferragamo, who just recently returned home from jail. Though they aren’t together at the moment, she notes that she is no longer dating her ex-boyfrined. “Me and Joe have a great relationship right now,” fesses Carla.

The fight between Carla and Karen errupts again. They debate if Carla’s ex grabbed Renee’s butt. Renee claims he did it, but Carla doesn’t believe her. “You’re pushing it calling me a liar,” Renee shouts. “He touched me, it’s an fact not an opinion. Restylane [is you're new nickname] because you’re nothing but a filler b*tch. You’re a moron.” Renee leaves crying.

The drama heats up when Wendy touches upon the rooftop battle between Drita and Karen. “It’s f*cked up because I’m not happy with how anything played out,” Drita says.

Karen continues to defend that the she only was trying to fix her relationship with Drita — not that the fight was about Drita’s hubby, who’s Karen’s ex.

“Don’t talk about riding my husband’s d*ck,” yells Drita. About the actual phyisical confrontation, – Drita blacked out and doesn’t recall the whole situation.

Nothing between the women gets resolved. Karen and Drita still disagree as to who is to blame. “To me it was just about friendship, I don’t know if I’ll ever get past it,” shares Karen. “If I could go back in time, I would,” says Drita. Karen agrees that she regrets that it happened. But it looks like they will never be friends again!

During the season finale of Mob Wives, star Drita D’avanzo found out that her husband Lee D’avanzo had an affair during his stint between prison sentences. Because of this Drita decided to consult a divorce attorney on her options and refused to tell Lee that she was doing so. But since then, Drita has confronted Lee about his infidelities and decided to go through with a divorce!

“Right now it looks like I’m going to 100% [get divorced],” Drita tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “I did speak to him and we do not speak anymore since I confronted him about it. We don’t talk.”

Lee lied to Drita about what happened. “He said exactly what I thought he was going to say,” says Drita. “He said it wasn’t true, but I know it is. It’s just something that I don’t see him confessing to. I don’t really need his confession, I just need him to know that I’m not going to be there for him anymore.”

“It’s not easy, but I’m too prideful and I could never lay with a man that I know was with someone else,” continues Drita. “I can’t do it. I’m still heartbroken.”

Because of what Lee did to her, Drita doesn’t know what the future holds for her love life. “I don’t think I’m ever trusting anybody ever again,” she admits. “I’d rather be by myself than with somebody I can’t trust. I’m used to being alone.”

Right now, Drita’s just trying to remain positive. “I’m putting my mind and energy completely into making money on my businesses with my cosmetic line, Just Me, and the workout DVD coming out,” shares Drita.

“Always have something to fall back on because depending on the man is the worst thing,” Drita advises other women who are going through similar situations. “And keep your friends! I’ve seen so many lose their friends during their marriage and stop working — they depend on their husband. That’s why they’re staying because they’re stuck. I feel like there is a noose around my neck — that’s why I’ve always worked.”

And Drita only has one message for her soon-to-be ex-hubby, the same one she delivered to him when she confronted him. “I said, ‘You really did make so many mistakes in your life, but this could be the worst,’” Drita says. “‘Just to lose your family, it’s not worth it.’”

2. Drita & Karen Still At War After Season Finale!
3. Karen: I’ve Got Soldiers & Cannons Pointed Right At Drita!

Mob Wives stars Karen Gravano and Drita D’avanzo are at war — and an explosive battle is about to break out during the season finale on June 26! The cause of the war? Karen’s writing a book that may or may not touch upon secrets of Drita’s husband Lee D’avanzo — and Drita had asked Karen to leave Lee out of it. Now, neither woman trusts the other and they’re both ready to attack!

“When she handed me the chapter, at first I was like that’s good because I was glad that she accomplished something,” Drita tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “But on the flip side, I really wish she wouldn’t be sharing with me because I don’t really trust her. I didn’t know if she was giving it to me like, ‘Here read it b*tch.’ She’s been so ballsy and two-faced that I don’t know.”

But according to Karen, Drita took her gesture of handing her the chapter in the wrong way. “My intent to give her that chapter was extending the olive branch because I wanted her to feel comfortable,” says Karen. And then “in typical Drita style, she goes to Carla [Facciolo] and she pops off how shes going to beat people up.”

So the women are back at each other’s throats. “I think what happened was we had the talk, things were settled and then all of a sudden I watched the show,” details Drita. “And then like, ‘Scumbag, baby daddy, riding my husband, I wouldn’t f*ck that guy with Drita’s p*ssy.’ This girl’s low blows were to the extent where my mouth was open. So me being hurt turns into me being angry.”

Karen says the issue is that Drita won’t leave it alone. “I felt like Drita and I put the past behind us,” notes Karen. “We’re not war over Lee. We are in a war over Drita being a fake a*s b*tch. I told her how I felt as a friend, I want move past it.”

“What Drita really is upset about is that she has to admit she’s a ho and she doesn’t want to admit that,” continues Karen. “Drita doesn’t want to admit what she did so she keeps trying to make excuses about me being here.”

Karen also thinks that Drita’s scared that Karen will tell Lee’s secret. “She has one thing that her and her husband are petrified that I’m going to say,” shares Karen. “They’re automatically getting defensive. They’re real paranoid about what I’m going to say because maybe her husband has secrets that he’s trying to hide — and it isn’t criminal secrets because I don’t put people’s criminal secrets out there.”

“I’m so disappointed that she went this far, this route — disappointed that she approached the whole situation in this way,” Drita says. “She came in on a mission to have a fight with me and with plans to embarrass me and my family. Just abuse me, this is what her goal was. To me it didn’t seem like she gave two sh*ts if we were friends or not because she made that clear.”

“Don’t come to my house. Don’t be my f*cking friend. And don’t do any of that if you hate me, hate my family, hate my husband” adds Drita. “When you watch the season finale, you will see why she got so irritated. Don’t preach this relationship and this friendship and all this sh*t and when I speak the truth and pull the card, you’re getting aggravated.”

Karen’s response to the current turmoil? “Drita says she wants to go to war with me?” asks Karen. “B*tch, I’ve got soldiers and cannons and they’re pointing right at you. I don’t know what you’re going to do because I won’t lose this battle. [And] I have a way bigger story than she could ever have.”

3. Drita Didn’t Know Her Husband was a Bankrobber When She Married Him!

Mob Wives star Drita D’avanzo thought that all the drama with her co-star Karen Gravano had finally come to an end. But during the June 19 episode, Karen and Drita sit down to enjoy a pleasant meal when Karen surprises Drita with the first chapter of her book — which may or may not contain scandalous info about Drita’s hubby Lee D’avanzo, who used to be Karen’s longtime boyfriend!

Karen debates whether she should give the copy of chapter one to Drita — and in the end decides that she wants Drita’s feedback.

When the topic is brought up over the meal, Drita’s stunned that Karen would actually want her to have a copy. But interested in what the material contains, Drita takes it and puts it in her purse. Throughout the rest of the episode she debates if she should actually read what Karen wrote or leave it to rest — because she just can’t believe that Karen would actually go through with writing the book after she warned her during an explosive battle not to include anything about Lee. Maybe that’s why Karen doesn’t hear from Drita the rest of the episode?

Renee Graziano has an emotional day when she packs up her ex-husband’s stuff and kicks him out. She leaves him a voicemail telling him that he must get his belongings and that she’s done with his crap. Renee’s too tired of Junior Pagan “walking in and out” of her home and taking advantage of her kindness. And with Junior going back to jail, Renee decides that enough is enough. It’s time that she sets a good example for her son AJ and to show him that his mom is a strong and independent woman.

Carla Facciolo has a sit-down and workout session with her bestie Drita to discuss her hubby Joey Ferragamo‘s recent return from prison. She explains how his homecoming leaves their kids asking daddy a ton of questions about where he’s been — and they finally find out that he’s been locked up.

The saddest point of the episode is hearing Drita’s daughter Aleeya on the phone with her dad asking when he will be coming home from jail. Aleeya reminds Lee that he promised to come home by fifth grade — and she adds that she’s in fourth grade now. When Lee tells her that he will be “home soon,” Aleeya doesn’t stand for it. “Soon is not good enough,” she cries.

Will all of this drama be settled during the season finale of Mob Wives on VH1 June 26? And BFFs — whose side are you on — Drita’s or Karen’s? Share your thoughts with us below!

Drita’s trying to teach her girls that it’s never OK to fight — and she’s guiding them away from the mafia mentality!

Mob Wives star Drita D’avanzo is trying to raise her kids differently than the way she grew up. She wants her daughters — Aleeya, 10 and Gizelle, 3 — to not be apart of the lifestyle and learn that fighting is never a good choice!

“I definitely don’t want them anywhere near this lifestyle,” Drita tells HollyBaby.com exclusively. “I get afraid because my daughters look up to me. They think I’m the coolest cat. I don’t want them to be like, ‘I want to be like my mother.’”

Drita, who grew up very tough and threw her first punch in kindergarten, is trying to teach her daughters differently. Drita tells her kids, “I always do want you to stick up for yourself, but the last thing in the world that I ever want you to do is fight with anybody or hit anybody. I told [Aleeya] that’s the worst thing in the world that you can do.”

And Drita’s kids are luckily adhering to their mother’s advice. “Aleeya had an incident when she first moved here — girls not wanting to be nice to her. She came home crying,” remembers Drita. But Aleeya didn’t raise her fist. “She actually said, ‘I was so mad that it was so hurtful, but I remember you said ignore them and I did.’ I was so proud of her because I was in kindergarten when I punched a kid in the face.”

“When people say mean things to you, you have to feel sorry for them and pray for them to be a better person at night,” Drita always reminds her kids.

But Drita still fears that Aleeya’s emotions could cause her problems down the road, because that’s exactly what happened to her father, Lee D’avanzo. “Why I want to get my daughter help in therapy is because my husband had anger issues with the fact that the feds killed his father,” explains Drita. “He immediately had a hatred towards the law. His mother said he became a totally different person when he woke up.”

“Not that that’s Aleeya’s case,” continues Drita. “She can get angry at the world because her father’s not around,” but she keeps it all inside.

Drita just doesn’t want to see her daughter ever react like Drita does under pressure. “The last incident that I had just went to show me that really I could just end up in jail,” says Drita referring to the season finale fight where blood is drawn. “These kids have no business not having both parents around”

She now realizes she has to listen to her own preaching. “If I do encounter a problem, I’m going to walk away no matter how much it bothers me,” says Drita. “I made a promise to myself — I’m not ever going to allow that to happen again. I’m going to totally just ignore it and the only time I will ever raise my hand again is if someone puts it on me.”

Self control — “that’s what I’m trying to teach my daughters,” notes Drita.

Lee D’avanzo told Drita that he had a past, but that he had changed. Drita believed him, but boy was she in for a shock!

We’ve heard bits and pieces of Mob Wives star Drita D’avanzo‘s story about her relationship with her husband Lee D’avanzo and how his crime-related lifestyle has effected her life. But Drita tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that she didn’t know that Lee was a bank robber when she started dating and then later married him!

“When I started dating Lee, I knew he had a business,” Drita tells us. “As for bank burglary and stuff like that? No way!”

Drita was aware he had a criminal past, but thought that was over. “He said, ‘When I was younger , I did bad things, but I turned my life around,’” says Drita. “I didn’t know he was still involved.”

“Honestly, I just thought a lot of guys I knew that were in the neighborhood and street guys, you just know they are street guys and make money off the streets,” says Drita. “I don’t know what they do, because they don’t say. I never thought of anything like that, because to me that’s insane.”

And Lee did in fact own a car wash — and that’s how he convinced Drita that he made his money. ”He had the money from the car wash and I was working when we moved in together,” remembers Drita. “It was normal like anybody. We’d go through the bills. It wasn’t like Lee was like, ‘I got it — here’s $20,000 on the table.’ We did it together.”

So Drita never questioned him, except for one incident where he bought her an expensive bracelet.

The first time Lee went to jail, it was because a friend ratted him out on his past, which he told Drita wasn’t part of his life anymore.

But the second time, Drita was not aware he was going out to rob a bank. The night that it happened, he told her he was going out with friends and the next time she heard from him was at 2:00 a.m. after he had been busted.

“He called me at 2:00 a.m. and he goes, ‘I got arrested,’” explains Drita. “Why would you think a criminal tells his crimes? That’s insanity.”

Drita didn’t sign up for this life and wants to make it clear that she had no reason to believe that her husband was anyone more than the business owner that he claimed to be.

Karen feels betrayed that Drita married her ex-boyfriend Lee. Drita doesn’t see the issue besides the fact that Karen can’t keep her mouth shut! Which ‘Mob Wives’ star is justified?

Fireworks explode between Karen Gravano and Drita D’avanzo on the May 15 episode of Mob Wives! Karen finally confronts Drita about the fact that Drita married her ex-boyfriend Lee D’avanzo — and a heated argument errupts when Karen curses Lee’s name out in Drita’s house.

Karen arrives at Drita’s home to have a sit-down. She’s not happy that Drita married Lee and didn’t bother to inform her. Karen dated Lee for seven years after all — and according to her, Drita swooped him up as soon as he became single.

“I feel like you kind of minimazed the situation of me and Lee,” Karen tells Drita. “It wasn’t cool on your part.”

“It’s just such a long time ago,” responds Drita. “You guys were so done when I came into the picture.”

Karen doesn’t agree with this. “You betrayed me,” she shouts. “So admit you did something wrong!”

“It’s not going to happen” is Drita’s answer. She also warns Karen: “Lee doesn’t want you talking about him and putting him in the book.”

This book comment doesn’t sit well with Karen. She loses it, calling Lee a “scumb bag.”

“You’re in my house,” Drita freaks out. “Nobody should come in my house and ever be disrespectful!”

Karen and Drita don’t settle the problem — and Karen ends up leaving after letting Drita know: “I don’t know if we can continue our friendship.”
