Mob Wives gave us a documentary on the personal and work lives of these inspiring women. Renee Graziano was among the OG main cast and stayed the entirety of the show. Unsurprisingly, she has the love of most Mob Wives fans.

However, Renee has recently been open to fans about her struggles following a drug overdose. She had another recent relapse this year which the fans were unaware of. Here’s everything we know about the situation.

Her manager, Chris Giovanni recently informed TMZ of Renee’s relapse and overdose. Mid-September Renee had a “bad batch” of a drug that led her to overdose.

Those who have been keeping up with the show are already aware of Renee’s past struggles. The Mob Wives alum has been open about her taking professional treatment for substance abuse problems. She checked in for rehab back in 2022 as well. In the same year, she was also arrested on DUI charges.

In the past, she has explained how her issues are rooted in her anxiety, depression, and past traumas. She expressed that her mental health had declined a lot after her father, mobster Anthony Graziano, passed in 2019. A week before her overdose news broke out, she posted on Instagram saying she was restarting rehab after consulting a therapist. Many Mob Wives fans are cheering for Renee’s recovery.
