In the unlikely event that you haven’t been watching the show (I mean, what else would you be doing?), it’s worth noting that there’s been a long-simmering feud between two of the cast members: Drita D’Avanzo, wife of perpetual criminal Lee D’Avanzo, and Karen Gravano, daughter of the Gambino crime family’s Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, and the ex-girlfriend of Drita’s husband. Drita is also not too fond of Karen’s childhood friend Ramona Rizzo, who happens to be the granddaughter of mobster Benjamin “Lefty Guns” Ruggiero. Kind of like my group of girlfriends, sort of, only slightly less violent.

Ramona, who suffered a bloody lip in the scuffle, blamed Renée’s friend Derek of having slugged her. She and Karen tore through the party like an acrylic through an extension, trying to find the elusive Derek in order to return the favor.
All in all, it was one of Renée’s better parties.
