VH1’s mafia-themed reality series Mob Wives won fans over in its inaugural season with a cast of no-holds-barred drama mamas who were more than capable of both talking the talk and walking the walk!

We’re all about the surreal world of reality TV and one of our favorite parts is when a seemingly ancillary character winds up stealing the spotlight and the hearts of the fan base of a show.

If you’ve been tuning in to the 2nd season of VH1’s docu-series Mob Wives, and apparently many of you have, you certainly noticed new addition Angela “Big Ang” Raiola.
She’s more outspoken than the other cast members (what a statement), lives up to her large nickname and even larger lady lumps as she likes to joke about and seems to fit right in with “the lifestyle” of the New York City Mob scene. Turns out that “Big Ang” should fit in because girl is connected not only through blood but through business dealings and just her everyday living. Raiola rolls with it so I though I’d key you in on her connections to “the lifestyle” and why you see her frequently getting respect from the peeps on Mob Wives.
