Mob Wives Recap: Lee D'avanzo is Abusive, Renee Graziano's Ex-Husband Junior is a Deadbeat

This week's episode of Mob Wives was all about dysfunctional, and in some cases abusive, relationships. Renee Graziano is emotionally dependent upon her son, AJ, Drita D'avanzo's husband Lee verbally abuses Drita, Carla lies to her kids about where their father is, and Karen is afraid to tell Drita to leave her husband: All of the women are far from reaching resolutions.

We're back at Carla Facciolo's party where Karen just left Renee outside after both women refused to leave. Karen continues to talk a good game, claiming that Renee is "not gangsta and she needs to realize that." Renee then walks back into the party and announces that she's gonna leave cause she has respect. Then things get heated in only a way that Drita could instigate.

Drita is upset that Renee can't see that she was just trying to bring Renee and Karen together, which is why she didn't tell Renee that Karen would show up to the party. Drita tells Renee to "Get the f*ck out of here!" before putting her finger in Renee's face. Then Carla wraps her hand around Renee's neck and shoves Renee back.

Ironically, Carla was smiling the entire time the fight was taking place. We have no idea what was so funny?! Once again, Drita D'avanzo reminds us of about street game, saying: "When I hit you, you gettin' hurt. You goin' down. You gettin' stitches. You're going to get plastic surgery. I'm not pulling your hair, I'm not scratching you. An ambulance is sure to come!"

Next, we're back to the Renee vs. Drita, gangster bitch showdown in the middle of the bar. Drita says "[Renee's] gonna get laid out in a f*cking minute," which naturally upsets Renee and she leaves the party shortly thereafter. Back at Renee's house, we witness the co-dependent relationship she has going with her 16 year-old son, AJ. Renee says "There's a lot of times when i'll go to AJ with grown up situations and i'll ask for advice."

AJ: "Mom, stop yelling in my face."
Renee: "[About Drita] No one disrespects me, even if they have man muscles."
AJ: "You just said the F-word like 10 times. I just don't feel like you should be mad, except for at Drita. I feel like a real friend isn't going to say 'I'm gonna lay you out!'"

Although you can tell that AJ rather watch a sextape starring his mother than listen to her emotional rants, the kid is right about what Drita said about laying his mother out.

Carla then calls Renee and tells her that she feels bad about the fight at her party. After the apology, Carla invites Renee and her son over for dinner. We never see the dinner though. Weird!

Back at Drita's house, she let's us know that she's not tough when it comes to her daughters. "I'm a disastuh," she confesses. Drita also reveals that she got married to her husband when she was 23 years old and 6 weeks pregnant, which is when he got locked up. Drita asks her 9 year-old daughter if she wants "to do homework with [her] father on the phone." Lee is LOCKED UP. That was the most f*cked up question we've ever heard on reality TV. Ever. Sadly, her daughter does want to do her homework with her dad over the phone?! That's equally dysfunctional as it is tragic and hood.

We then learn that Renee was 20 when she married her ex, Junior. Junior told her that no one would marry her because of who her father is. After 2 months of dating, they got engaged. Junior shows up to Renee's house and he's pretty hot. She talks to him about punishing their son because his grades are slipping. Junior doesn't seem very interested in parenting.

Karen Gravano brags that Renee left Carla's party, not her. She also says that her book is "about living as a child of this lifestyle. It's about the aftermath of this lifestyle... Everyday I wondered if my father was gonna come home."

Drita's at home and she talks to her husband Lee on the phone and tells him that their daughter misses him, "So bring her the f*ck up here," he says. We cringe. Drita and Lee start yelling at each other because Drita thought he'd be out of jail soon but he may be locked up for "two or three more years, I have no idea," he says. Lee lied to Drita. She's pissed, so she goes drinking with Carla that night, dressed like a ho.

Drita asks her bartender if the bartender would wait on her man for that long and the bartender says no.

Carla, who wants Drita to leave, reminds her that she knows that her relationship with her incarcerated husband isn't going to work and that "I don't believe any guy would wait [on a woman if the tables were turned]." You can tell that Drita knows it, but she's too scared to leave her abusive husband.

Drita claims that she's "not stupid" and she knows that Lee could get out of jail just to go right back, or he may end up dead. Drita claims "I really don't know how much longer I can wait," but we also think she's a disastuh when it comes to her man. She's weak.

Renee, who dresses like a drag queen in the dark, goes to a shrink while wearing a thick, HUGE fur vest. "Growing up in this lifestyle, not only do you need a therapist, you need a life coach, a lawyah, a doctor, a nun, a priest. You need everyone cause you never know what's gonna happen."

Renee says that "there's hatred growing" toward her ex-husband because he's a deadbeat and then she starts bawling. Hard. We're not in the room, but we're a little uncomfortable, luckily we go back to Drita, who is now clubbing with Karen. And then we're back to Drita's house where she's talking on the phone with her abusive husband Lee.

After Drita asks him when he's getting out of jail and then she refuses to send him a package of food, Lee gets upset.

Lee tells Drita: "Who the f*ck are you? F*ck you motherf*cker! What the f*ck? I get home when I get home. Do what the f*ck you gotta do then. Should be no problem anyways. You should be waiting you stupid bitch, so what the f*ck do you want me to tell ya? Shove the package up your f*cking dirty cunt. F*ck you and the package! Go f*ck yourself."

We hope Drita's kids don't see this footage. Their father is a LOSER! Drita yanks the phone from the wall and the episode ends with us wondering if she could break her husband's face? The man deserves to get his a*s kicked. Lee's wifey is a loyal single mother and he can't even pretend to respect her while he's incarcerated?!!! We're so mad/ sad for Drita.
