Was Ben Affleck & Matt Damon Sued By A New York Attorney? (Photo Credit – Koimoi)

A New York attorney took legal action against Ben Affleck and Matt Damon back in 2023, claiming they stalked and harassed her and even bugged her home. The lawsuit, filed in the New York Supreme Court under the Adult Survivors Act, also accused Jennifer Lopez, Casey Affleck, Kevin Smith, Ryan Seacrest, and Harvey Weinstein of involvement.

According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, the attorney alleged that Affleck and Damon hacked her devices and used details from her life in Saturday Night Live skits and Weinstein-produced films. She claimed their actions left her fearing she would be kidnapped or worse. The case also targeted major studios, including Disney, Warner Bros, and Paramount, for allegedly enabling the harassment.

The woman, whose identity remains confidential, stated she only realized the alleged pattern after watching multiple shows and...

Additional details about her discovery have come to life.

Natalie‘s mother Denise Fuoco confirmed to NBC News that she had “been found” in Nevada and was “fine now.”

“We’re trying to get her home,” she added, saying that she wasn’t sure what led to her daughter being inaccessible. Denise confirmed that she had spoke to her daughter but did not push to find out what happened “because I’m pretty sure she might hang up.

Frightening news from the world of reality TV today, as Mob Wives star Natalie Didonato has been reported missing.

According to a new report from TMZ, Didonato’s mother, Denise Fuoco, says she was last heard from seven days ago on a FaceTime call.

The call ended abruptly, and Natalie did not reveal her location. Denise says her daughter “looked distressed” during their brief conversation.

Subsequent attempts to contact Didonato have failed. Denise says she promptly called Natalie on both of her cell phones but has not yet heard back.

Natalie’s Whereabouts Are Unknown

Currently, no one even knows what state Natalie might be in.

A missing persons report has been filed in Las Vegas, but her family also spoke with police in Philadelphia.

After a handful of appearances as Guy Fieri on Weekend Update, Bobby Moynihan took the impression to a whole new level on a December 2013 episode of SNL. The pre-taped fake Food Network promo began with Moynihan’s Fieri cackling like a madman while promoting “Guy Fieri’s Full Throttle Christmas Special,” co-hosted by Kid Rock (Brooks Wheelan), who enters via chimney.

Fieri/Moynihan then goes on to name-drop an insane parade of early 2010s reality TV personalities as the special’s guest stars — Criss Angel, Bret Michaels, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Big Ang from Mob Wives, the casts of Duck Dynasty and Pawn Stars — as well as, for no reason whatsoever, Verne Troyer and Mimi from The Drew Carey Show.

The promo also features the most insane Guy Fieri-like Christmas recipes imaginable, such as a stocking filled with bean dip and “Straight Cake” — as opposed to fruit cake — made from bacon and Matchbox cars.

Released on April 17, 2011, Mob Wives is an American reality show that focused on the lives of women in Staten Island, whose family members and husbands, whether current or former, have been imprisoned for crimes related to the American mafia. When the show was first released, many thought that it was going to be a lot like The Real Housewives. However, it was far from that. Whether it was fights or verbal arguments, the Mob Wives definitely knew how to keep their viewers entertained.

Despite VH1 announcing that the show's sixth season would be the last, the creator Jennifer Graziano, the creator and sister to cast member Renee Graziano, has expressed her interest in rebooting the show. Renee also claimed that there was a likelihood of a reboot set to air on Paramount's streaming service. Whether the show is rebooted or not, here is a look into the criminal history of the Mob Wives cast.

Mob Wives alum Renee Graziano knows something about successful, but toxic, reality television. She was one of the original cast members on VH1’s hit series Mob Wives. Now, she’s weighing in on some of Bravo’s most popular TV shows. More specifically, she’s giving her opinion on what’s wrong with Real Housewives of New Jersey. So, what did she have to say? Keep reading to find out.

Renee Graziano Weighs In On Rhonj Cast Shakeup

Renee Graziano is a reality TV veteran. Viewers saw drama unravel her life on Mob Wives nearly 10 years ago. In a recent interview, she talked about the state of Bravo’s Rhonj.

As fans know, The Real Housewives of New Jersey is awaiting renewal. In fact, a number of the Real Housewives series spin-offs are in limbo. When it comes to Rhonj, there are whispers of a cast reboot happening.

While...

Renee Graziano knows a thing or two about toxic reality TV shows.

As an original star of VH1’s smash hit Mob Wives, Renee is a veteran of the unscripted TV world.

In a new interview with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, she was asked about the state of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which is currently awaiting word on its future.

With a cast reboot likely on the horizon, some fans on social media have been up in arms, thinking Rhonj would benefit from some cast members from the defunct VH1 hit.

Renee believes one of the most significant issues plaguing the long-running series is that the men remain prominent.

“What I would do is keep the men out of it. Leave the men out of it… it’s called Housewives, Housewives,” she said in the interview alongside her sister, Jenn Graziano.

Fans have frequently complained over...

Mob Wives brought a fresh take on reality TV, focusing on mafia connections in Staten Island. Despite attempts at a reboot, the show ended after season six, leaving the cast to forge their paths. Cast members like Karen, Carla, Drita, Natalie, and Renee found success in various ventures post-show.

When it debuted on VH1 in 2011, Mob Wives became the new talk of reality television. The show focused on women connected to the mafia lifestyle in Staten Island, whether it be their current or former husbands, fathers, or uncles. While some thought it would be similar to The Real Housewives before it's premiere, it was nothing like what you see on the hit Bravo franchise. Whether there was verbal arguments or cat fights, the cast of Mob Wives knew how to entertain TV viewers.

In late 2015, VH1 announced that the sixth season would be the show's last, though show creator Jennifer Graziano...

Danielle Cabral debuted a new look ahead of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 finale and subsequent reunion alternative.

The Rhonj star is known for her signature blonde locks, which are long gone.

Danielle took to Instagram to debut a new look, including a much shorter, dark hairstyle.

Her new do is a dark blonde/light brown with plenty of layers. It’s shoulder length, which is different from the long ponytail look viewers are used to seeing from her.

She captioned her carousel share, “Welcome To My Dark Side….

Mob Wives took the world by storm when it premiered on VH1 and detailed the lives of women associated with the mafia in one way or another. For many, it was their husbands or fathers who were already in jail, but that didn't stop them from embracing the mob aesthetic. Set in Staten Island, the reality series introduced us to women like Big Ang and, of course, Drita D'Avanzo. Known for fighting, outrageous looks, and more, the series was both controversial and enticing. But where is D'Avanzo now?...

Drita D’Avanzo opened up about her marriage to Lee D’Avanzo amid his release from prison. He was sentenced to 64 months in prison in August 2020. However, he has been released early. Now, Drita has revealed that they are no longer a couple. In fact, their relationship ended a long time ago. Keep reading for more details about their split.

Lee D’Avanzo Was Released Early From Prison

New York Police Department officials raided the home of Lee and Drita D’Avanzo in December 2019. Drita was arrested along with Lee for possession of a firearm and drug paraphernalia. All of the charges against Drita were eventually dropped and she didn’t see any jail time. Her husband, on the other hand, pleaded guilty to the gun charges.

As mentioned above, Lee D’Avanzo was sentenced to 64 months for felony possession of a gun. He was placed in a medium-security prison in Lewis Run,...

Mob Wives star Drita D’Avanzo has broken her silence regarding Renee Graziano’s near-fatal overdose. Renee shared her experience of having an accidental fentanyl overdose last year. The two women have been at odds for years, however, it seems Drita is ready to set aside their differences after Renee Graziano’s revelation about her overdose. Keep reading to see what Drita D’Avanzo had to say about the former Mob Wives star.

Mob Wives’ Renee Graziano Shares Her Overdose Story

Renee Graziano opened up about her sobriety on Bunnie Xo’s podcast last week. The Mob Wives star shared her overdose story with Bunnie, stating that she was given fentanyl instead of an undisclosed drug.

“I died in a restaurant in Florida,” she told Bunnie. “I was dead, intubated for three days. No one in my family came to the hospital and I spent nine days there learning how to walk again.

Less than a year after announcing dual leadership at the production and distribution venture WonderHill Studios, veteran producers Bob Yari and Marvin Peart are parting ways.

The pair will disband as co-CEOs of the company, though Yari will remain an investor. The split is amicable, individuals familiar with the company said, and the men feel more comfortable moving forward with their own distinct visions. Peart will stay on as WonderHill CEO and oversee day-to-day operations moving forward.

Yari has formed a new production and releasing engine called Magenta Light Studios. His goal is to release three to five films per year in theaters. Both companies are presently active in the acquisitions space, a market perpetually in need of independent players that can compete with streaming giants and legacy studios.

Yari is best known for producing the 2004 drama “Crash,” which took the Academy Award for best picture. His credits include early-aughts...

Lee D’Avanzo, husband of “Mob Wives” star Drita D’Avanzo, was sentenced to more than five years in prison by a federal judge on Friday.

The 64-month sentence was handed down by Judge Rachel Kovner after D’Avanzo pleaded guilty to a felony weapon possession charge as part of a plea deal with prosecutors. Officers discovered drugs and two loaded guns in a search of the family’s New York home back in December.

The prosecution recommended a sentence of 37 to 46 months, but the judge handed down a longer sentence after citing D’Avanzo’s criminal record, including a 2009 conviction for attempting to break into a bank vault.

MTV’s new series “Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club” strands a bunch of hard bodies in Greece, throws them all in a house together and tasks them with a job that basically amounts to drinking and partying. The results are predictably sloppy.

In a similar spirit to that of Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules,” “Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club” is ostensibly about a group of hot young employees trying to make a name for themselves under their semi-famous boss. The cast, a group of American party promoters, bartenders, hosts and waitresses, are all enlisted to serve as “VIP hosts” at Lohan’s Mykonos club, where they’re tasked with selling a good time to a bunch of vacationers.

But also like Bravo’s hit “Housewives” spinoff, “Beach Club” is much more interested in the dumb things its stars do and say than their actual abilities to do their job. And lucky for us,...

MTV has ordered new series “Made in Staten Island” from “Mob Wives” star Karen Gravano, the network exclusively tells TheWrap. Karen is the daughter of former Gambino crime family underboss Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, and the mother of “Made in Staten Island” star Karina.

“Made in Staten Island” follows a group of young Staten Island, New York hustlers as they work to step out from the shadows of the once mob-driven island. These friends will either choose wisely or fall prey to the mistakes of past generations, per MTV’s series description.

The eight cast members are below, where there are also links to their Instagram pages and brief bios. All of that came courtesy of MTV, and how could we possibly take it away from you?

It looks like Farrah Abraham will have a special guest at her upcoming celebrity boxing match! The former Teen Mom Og star has been keeping busy with other work and appearances since she left the MTV reality TV series, and one of her next events is a boxing match against former Flavor of Love star Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander and Farrah's nemesis, Mob Wives alum Drita D'Avanzo, is kind of bummed that she won't get to face off with Farrah in the ring. Watch the video above to see Drita's message to Farrah! For a moment, it seemed like a Drita vs. Farrah boxing match would have actually happened. The former reality TV stars had been beefing for a while ever since they did a joint appearance together for an event in Atlantic City in June when Farrah went on Instagram and called  Drita a "has been" and claimed Drita was "unprofessional.

Our camera was rolling when Farrah -- with Sophia in tow -- arrived at court. She described the legal drama as a case of bullying courtesy of ... Beverly Hills.

Watch the video above to see his response! Fans were getting a major kick out of Drita's translation of Lucky's howls. "Lol, is that puppy talking smack?!

That was a low blow. Earlier this week, former Teen Mom Og star Farrah Abraham announced that she will be part of a celebrity boxing match this November and she has yet to find an opponent. Recently, former Mob Wives star Drita D'Avanzo made it clear that she would be down to go one-on-one with Farrah in the ring but she's not the only one — Farrah's former Teen Mom franchise co-star Kailyn Lowry said she'd like to get in on the action. But Farrah's father Michael Abraham doesn't think that Kail is a worthy opponent, and he even took a jab at Kail's weight while commenting on Farrah's match on Twitter. "To [sic] bad we won’t see Drita fight. She is like me... way to [sic] old 'age group' and she is not one to promote anti-hate," Michael tweeted.

Now, their feud is still going strong and earlier this week, Farrah even seemed to challenge Drita to a boxing match to settle their differences — but Drita responded and it sounds like Farrah might want to think twice before stepping into the ring with her. Drita posted a clip of Farrah training for upcoming for her upcoming celebrity boxing match this November, and since she doesn't have an opponent yet, Farrah listed off some ideas of who she'd like to take down in the ring. "Who would I want to beat [their] butt? There’s so many," Farrah said. "Maybe like some of the Teen Moms who talk trash about me and bully me,...
