Mob Wives star Renee Graziano has reportedly checked into a rehab facility, according to her manager, Chris Giovanni.
Giovanni told TMZ that he recently spoke with Graziano when she called him from the facility on Monday (Nov. 13) and explained her recent struggles with substance abuse, including a drug overdose she experienced this past September.
According to Giovanni’s claims, Graziano told him that she overdosed on a “bad batch” of unspecified drugs in September. She reportedly attributed her struggles with substance abuse to the 2019 death of her father, known mobster Anthony Graziano.
Giovanni said that this explained why he had trouble getting in touch with her in recent months. Any contact they did have, TMZ reports, was “sporadic and brief.”
Her manager claimed they only had a brief chance to speak as Graziano was accompanied by a counselor from the facility and only had 10 minutes to talk.

Giovanni also claimed Graziano did not report the overdose or the “bad batch” of drugs to the police.
This is not the first time she has sought help for her struggles with addiction. She previously got treatment in 2022 for her sleeping pill addiction with the help of The Hills star Jason Wahler at the Red Songbird foundation. There, she tried Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and attended group therapy sessions.
At the time, TMZ reported that Graziano was “about a month sober” and had “no plans to leave” until she felt “grounded.”
Graziano told TMZ that the “new regimen” was helping her deal with her issues that stem from “anxiety, depression and former abusive relationships – which included sexual assault.”
Earlier this year, she told The US Sun, “Look, I’m human, I fuck up. I fall and get back up. You know, I might make it from here to the bushes and then I might trip. But I’m human. And I’m not embarrassed to say it.”
