I’m the OG mob wife and these TikTokers know nothing – it’s about having an IDGAF attitude & I’ve had one since the 80s
A SELF-STYLED “real mob princess” has shared what sets her apart from others - and it’s her “IDGAF attitude”.
Renee Graziano’s dad was an infamous mobster and she went on to marry Hector Pagan Jr, a mobster-turned-police-informant.
With the rise of “mob wife aesthetic” trends doing the rounds on social media, the 55-year-old has taken to Instagram to offer her take.
Dubbing herself “the OG”, Renee said that “no one does the mob wife aesthetic better than a real Sicilian mob princess”.
She added: “I am my father’s daughter.”
In another post, Renee referenced her “IDGAF attitude” and said: “y’all know I don’t care”.
She shared pictures of her from the Eighties through to the Noughties, with one posing next to a taxidermy white tiger.
According to Renee, the most glamorous elements of the mafia are “the furs, the diamonds and the big homes”.
