While Renee Graziano is tight-lipped about the rumored Mob Wives reboot, she believes she would approach the show completely differently a second time around.
"I learned that a lot of my trauma is based on my lifestyle. Who I once was is no longer who I am today," she says. "Should Mob Wives return, I am more than sure that the person on the screen will not be anything like the one that once was. Life has changed so much for me since my father [Anthony Graziano] passed away [in 2019]. There are some things that I wouldn't redo in my life. But if there were another Mob Wives, there are certain situations I wouldn't put myself in that I once did. That's the then and this is now."

After a decade off the air, Renee Graziano feels that her journey on television was a growing experience.
"Looking back at it, I have mixed feelings," she says. "There are a lot of happy moments for me. I haven't watched the show since the network told us we had to tweet about it. I will not watch Mob Wives because that's not who I am today. I learned a lot. I learned through watching the show that there were people in my life that I thought were friends who weren't friends."

In the years since, Renee Graziano has focused on being a successful businesswoman, recently launching her
B.A.D. Body Butter collection.
"I like to take care of women," she says. "I like to make sure I look and smell good. Smell is everything to me. Scents are everything. I have signature smells of my own. We put a twist on everything and made it very mob-ish. The coconut smell is called Coco Nostra. I put this twist on it to keep it obviously on-brand… in case
Mob Wives comes back."

Renee Graziano also recently made her stage debut in the immersive theatrical production
Married by the Mob, which played the Avenel Performing Arts Center in New Jersey in mid-February. "I'm nervous. I'm not an actress," she admits in the lead-up to the show's run. "This is something brand new. I was in a movie called
Fuhgeddabout Christmas. There are things that I've done, but nothing where I'm the star of the show. I have to read like this big script and remember all these words, it should be a challenge."
