'Mob Wives' Big Ang Helps Out After Hurricane Sandy, Season 3 Ep.6 (PREVIEW VIDEO)
Tonight's episode of Mob Wives takes a serious turn- the cast members' hometown of Staten Island is hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. Several wives, including Angela Raiola, who is known as "Big Ang," do everything they can to help each other and their neighbors out.
In episode six of Mob Wives, Big Ang recruits the Bronx Boys to help fill up a truck with food, water, diapers and more for charity to give away to those that have been greatly affected by the infamous hurricane.
Meanwhile, fellow Mob Wives star Ramona Rizzo has shared that she is engaged and planning a June wedding to an incarcerated mobster, Joseph "Joe Boy" Sclafani. Sclafani is allegedly affiliated with the Gambino family.
Rizzo said her fiance, who is currently behind bars at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, "didn't want to begrudge me a wedding."
"We've known each other since we were kids," Rizzo told the New York Post. "It's not the normal love story because he's incarcerated. But if you're in love, you can make it work.
"He said, 'Even if I can't be there, have a party. I'll be there in spirit.' " she added.
Rizzo said her fiance will be absent for the June nuptials set to be held at Butch Yamali's lavish Coral House on Long Island. She plans to call Sclafani and "pass around the phone" during the reception so the groom can speak to their family and friends after they tie the knot.
"If you love somebody before they got kicked down, why wouldn't you love them after?" said Rizzo. "Maybe the key to a happy marriage is not having a husband in your face all the time."
Rizzo, who is Italian and the granddaughter of Benjamin "Lefty Guns" Ruggiero, said her relatives approve of their union.
"My family's just happy he's Italian," she said. Her first husband was Jordanian.
