‘Mob Wives’ Star Renee Graziano Details Near-Death Experience Of Fentanyl Overdose

Renee Graziano of Mob Wives fame suffered an overdose last year after mistakenly taking fentanyl, believing it was cocaine.

The former reality star, 55, laid bare the disturbing details in a preview of the Dumb Blonde podcast’s latest episode, obtained by TMZ.

“Everything in my life was falling apart,” she recalled of her state of mind ahead of the incident. “Nobody wanted to talk to me… Everything just started piling up. I gave up.”

She proceeded to tell host Bunnie XO that after seeking out cocaine to numb the pain, she was actually given the deadly drug. “Someone gave me a bag of fentanyl… when it was supposed to be cocaine.

“I died in a restaurant in Florida. I was dead,” she went on. “I was intubated for three days. … And I spent nine days [in the hospital], learning how to walk again.” She added that she doesn’t actually remember the hospital stay, as, “Three days are wiped from my brain.”

Graziano also revealed that none of her family members visited during her hospitalization, though she doesn’t blame them, considering she has admittedly “put them through hell” in the past.

The daughter of mob boss Anthony Graziano, Renee has previously discussed her battles with addiction, thanking The Hills star Jason Wahler back in 2022 for connecting her to his foundation, Red Songbird, a nonprofit for those facing substance abuse and mental health issues.

Graziano told TMZ at the time that her addiction issues stem from “anxiety, depression and former abusive relationships.”
