Growing Up with Sammy "The Bull" Gravano | Sit Down with Karen Gravano

In today's episode, we are going to be sitting down with Karen Gravano, and I’m very excited to get a woman's point of view of mob life. We have a similar story of growing up with notorious fathers. Karen will share how is it like to grow up with Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, and many more. I have a lot of respect for Karen and we’re going to explore her perspective on the mob, stories about her childhood, and a lot of positive things she has to say on different issues. I’m sure you’re going to enjoy it.

Such a good interview. I wasn't a fan after seeing Mobwives, this changed my mind about her.

[@ravenpoeacup]

This is a great interview. Thank you Micheal and Karen for sharing your perspectives with us.

[@debragarner4884]

The interview is great! Glad to hear of all the positive in her and her daughter life, as well as the relationship with her dad! A really good one.

[@TheDollfaceddiva]

I respect you so much Michael for creating this platform and for this interview. Karen has a good head on her shoulders. Keep em coming Michael. One of my favorite channels.

[@yourcollegecourse]

Great interview! Thank you. The history of the important Italian Americans is vital to our culture. Keep producing! You both are excellent. Miss Gravano is pretty amazing. Inspiring, too!

[@ruthrolon9293]

Great interview ! I Love KAREN , she has overcome some NOT so nice, " things " .🗽🌈

[@sallyburke3266]

Karen and Big Ange were always my favourites on Mob Wives....... Wish you all the best Karen 🙏❤️

[@vnsgal9]

Pretty neat to see him sit down not only with Sammy the bull already but now Sammy's daughter. Nice to see them come together and give accurate info with the mob history

[@Jade12568]

Michael, You should interview Rita Gigante. She is a wonderful spiritual woman, and I for one would find it very interesting. I am a woman , just so you know.. I love her and she has been a tremendous support for me while going through difficult times. Sweet to the core.

Hey brother, this sit down is one of my favorites out of all of them! The conversation was insightful and interesting and heartwarming and so much more. Karen is so authentic and warm and she's such an amazing communicator. Both of you are going to reach lots of people with this conversation. Thank you! 😊❤️

As someone who grew up in and around the life in NY I've met a lot of guys who I like to call Phony Soprano, and it's so great to be able to get the insight and hear the stories from a guy as well respected as Michael was and is. I respect the shit of Karen for not being afraid to speak her truth and tell it like it is and was when a lot of people in her position wouldn't do that. It's always interesting to me how people could be part of the same life yet have very different stories. As family and group oriented as that life is, at the end of the day it's a family of individuals with different motives, reasons and experiences.

[@stevc1122]

Phony Soprano hahaha

[@costasspartan1894]

Karen is Gold , she was my favorite on that " Mob Wives" show.

[@RP-zs1ej]

Thank you , Michael - that was a fantastic and probably my favorite sit down - truly insightful! So many lessons that Karen and you shared were life truths and fully relatable to people in all walks of life today and not just to those from your previous life.

[@starboymuzic1715]

YES ABOUT TIME, THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET VERY INTERESTING THANK YOU MICHAEL & KAREN FOR DOING THIS CONTENT!!!!!

[@GreenEarth140]

As a man , I am always so impressed by solid , intelligent , strong women who DO NOT GO OVER THE TOP WHEN THEY VOICE THEIR OPINIONS !!!! Not to say that they are not entitled to do so. This woman is very classy. America NEEDS more women like her. As a Canadian , I WOULD VOTE THIS WOMAN INTO OFFICE IF I DID NOT HAVE A STRONG ALTERNATIVE LIKE TRUMP. Kamala Harris is an absolute "bubble brain". Karen Gravano , you do a tremendous justice for young women and how they should be confident about who they are. You will be successful in every endeavour you delve into. Great interview Michael.

[@uncletys]

What an interesting interview, surprised people haven’t had Karen on their shows earlier, loved hearing you’re close with Gerard. Both Mike & Sammy’s families being close at this point just makes so much sense! Thanks for this 👌PS - Karen is a godess! 🥰
