Mob Boss's Daughter interview-Rita Gigante

[@roccod.5688]

My dad's Volkswagen beetle was stolen. He went to Mr Gigante, respectfully and asked for help. He knew my dad went to work and was not involved. Within a day or 2, the beetle shows up parked on the street. My Dad thanked him and was never expected to return the favor. A true gentleman.

I didnt know what to expect in the beginning. I'm usually skeptical about people but this girl seems really down to earth. The wild thing is, I went through something similar with my dad. We never had much of a relationship. He was in prison throughout my childhood and as I started getting older 11, 12 years old I lived with him a lot of the time and he got me involved in drugs selling and also using and it changed my life for the worst and brought a lot of resentment between us. 20 years later my dad is dying from liver failure and I know he doesn't have much time so I write him a letter telling him who I really was since as early as I could remember. All the good and all the bad. I tell him things that we could never talk about in person because of foolish pride and tough guy bs. I forgave him for all the hurt he caused me and I asked his forgiveness too and I told him I loved him for the 1st time ever. It was about 40 pages of letter. After that he would call me crying and laughing and asking about this or that and in the end he we healed our relationship. He passed 3 months later. I only wish I had done it sooner but God does things on His time. When I heard Rita tell about her letter it hit me like a ton. Thanks Rita.

He was the head criminal of a murderous criminal enterprise whose success is measured in hundreds of gallons of blood, tons of illegal narcotics and decades spent in the sex slave trade. I'm pretty sure she has not signed over the royalties from her book or future speaking fees to a rehab facility in order to mitigate a fraction of the damages her family caused by the drug problems he cultivated all across the U.S. Every stitch of clothes and morsel of food she ever ate was sourced from Satan himself.

This was a fantastic interview. I rarely watch long videos anymore but this one was easy. She is a great storyteller, her calm voice and disposition makes you want to hear what happens next.

[@Maxeking111]

Thank you Mark for everything you do. Rita is one of the best interviews yet, we need to heal as a nation and these conversations are a powerful way to do get rid of the stigma of mental health and pain.

[@nehamamama4272]

Is there a part two to this? I truly enjoyed listening to Rita. She is so genuine and down to earth.

[@wednesdaywilliams3184]

Another New Yorker, another exceptional story/storyteller! I was actually sad when the interview ended. I’m actually more interested in hearing about her life experiences, than about her father’s. I am an empath, also. Nothing to this degree. I can relate to so much of what she said. I suffer from extreme anxiety, depression and have had a couple of pretty severe panic attacks in my life. I’m always fascinated by others who experience those same feelings. Thank you, Rita, for sharing your story, and I hope we get to hear more from you. I’m excited to get your book now, as I am sure are many others. Live your truth!!!

[@kimberleygoodings1676]

The absolute best interview I’ve ever seen! What a beautiful soul she is inside and out, she explained her father with humility but in a respectful way, I wish she had a channel because i would love to hear more at her being an empath, fantastic

[@sk8oasis788]

What an incredible woman and storyteller. Thanks Rita! 🎉

[@xobls]

I’m only halfway through this interview & I absolutely adore Rita! The way she tells a story is captivating, this is the first video of hundreds of interviews I’ve watched from SWU that I haven’t skipped a few parts. I can’t stop listening to her!

[@neriettaarina9678]

Ms. Rita is a great story teller. I got interested and hooked as her narrative progresses especially towards the end where she said that she is 'gifted' and that she receives messages from spirits. Looking forward to Part 2.

[@Elise10000]

I started watching this and couldn’t stop until I was all the way through. So much more than I expected. Good job interviewer in being so unobtrusive and simply letting her tell her story. I wish interviews by others would use same approach, not interject unless minimally, and let person communicate. Thx.

[@Caroline-Horvath-Rivera]

Amazing interview Rita. I remember seeing your Dad (The Chin) when I was a teenager on Mulberry St. you are a beautiful soul. 🌞🤍

[@Queerpunx]

This is probably up there with some of my favorite videos on the channel so far. So captivating; what a great story. It's intresting how empathic people and trauma are connected...Trauma teaches us how to read people & situations for survival. It's nice to see people using that skill for good.

[@psafety9355]

Amazing orator!!! She kept me stapled to the screen for the duration of this video! What a life experience she's had.

[@jess_n_atx]

Shes probably recited this many times

[@claravela3330]

Me too, so well spoken lady.

[@montananerd8244]

She's promoting a book, and has convinced people she is a psychic healer, despite using cbt in her own recovery. I imagine she is quite well practiced and I'm not convinced this isn't just a grift, tbh. It's a little too movie-esque, isn't it?

[@the2ndcoming135]

The accent and dialect never gets old.

[@santanapylesss2407]

I could listen to her talk and tell the same stories over and over endlessly

[@margaretcorbett2781]

That was such a moving interview. Rita is such an inspiration. Thanks again Mark, for a stellar interview! 👏

[@gitnbizy]

So interesting, she's a phenomenal story teller. I hope there's a Part2 in the future.

[@rhonda6791]

Mark I’ve watched many compelling stories that you’ve done but Rita you’re awesome and I loved you and your story. Thank you ❤

[@gabrieltaggart]

She speaks with love, just the energy in her voice it’s distinct. Living your truth is the only way…

[@stelladavis7832]

She seems so down to earth and kind. Just really seems like a nice, cool mom type

[@aoalvidrez]

This by far is one of if not the BEST interview!! Wow!!! Powerful, I’m buying her book and looking for part 2 and more of this one! Thanks!

[@goldenlass9488]

Wow! Thank you for this amazing content, and for letting your guest speak without inserting yourself! This is probably the most riveting and uplifting interview I have ever heard! I am blown away by how articulate, insightful, courageous, and heart-centered Rita is, especially considering the childhood trauma she endured. She has created a life of beauty, utilizing her gifts to help others instead of becoming embittered or broken. I cannot wait to read her book! I believe her that her father was not all bad, human beings are complex. It is heartening to know that his soul sought redemption, and comforting to receive confirmation that there is life-and enduring connection with loved ones-after death. Bravo!! 👏🏻

[@kristinam2719]

This was one of my favorite interviews, Mark. I’ve listened to it several times. I want to read Rita’s book. I am considering having her help me talk to my deceased parents.

[@KM-me6ev]

@Soft White Underbelly - I love getting a window into all these amazing , interesting and sometimes sad/traumatic lives. Thank you for letting us be introduced to all of these people 🖤

[@elainescott6791]

What a special person!!! We need more people like this helping others and in so doing helping ourselves ❤

[@jaqikennedy9990]

It's a career.... she doesn't work for free....

[@dingdang3845]

Killer interview! Thank you both, especially Rita Gigante. I appreciate this special look into her life/dad/family.

[@CarianneRHixson]

No pun intended

[@CatherineDiehl-f7o]

This was a phenomenal interview. Rita is a light in the darkness.

[@abrilasncn]

Amazing interview! Great storyteller -- I feel like I was there witnessing things with her.

[@sarahchandler695]

Her inspiration is phenomenal. She also had the best explanation of what being an empath feels like. Yes Rita, it IS all about the feels. So glad she is now in her comfort zone.

[@janetpersons7647]

I didn't know I was an empath until a few years ago. Explains alot. Helped me so much to know.

[@dundeeutility4899]

I could've listened to Rita all day!!! Great storyteller!!LOVE FROM SCOTLAND sweetheart 💙💙💙

[@cindykelly4712]

I have watched many an interview, and this has got to be the best by far. The way she tells her story is poignant, real, and very touching, genuine and trustworthy. What a fascinating woman. I am in Florida. I wish there was somebody like her that I could see in my area. Like many others who have commented, I hope there is a part two.

[@americafirst834]

Seems like a nice woman who has clearly been emotionally and mentally traumatized by her fathers life. I wish her the best.

[@alexmorefield5573]

That's what happens when your father is a volatile psychopath

[@seansmith7462]

She was sheltered from his life, how is she emotionally scarred? She lived the life of a princess

[@RottedDollface]

@@seansmith7462 🤦🏽‍♀️....we all handle every and anything differently. In the start of the video she literally said of a situation she experienced with her dads violence, and how it affected her.

[@seansmith7462]

@@RottedDollface I'm interested in mob talk, this is blood family talk.

[@RottedDollface]

@@seansmith7462 oh of course, same💯, I wouldve loved to hear more about it....but it was an interview about Rita. On certain parts I legit just paused and left. I still havent finished the last cpl of minutes. Some say she has other interviewe, but I will pass.

[@ForensicsOnTheScene]

I really enjoyed her story. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks as well. I find when I stop trying to control things around me and just let go, I can not only read my intuition better but I am more at peace. My grandmother claimed to be a medium as well. I used to think it was just folklore but the older I get the more I can see that there are endless possibilities in the world.

[@cynthialea2724]

Excellent story , well told, this is the way life happened, what a different World we experienced, paranoid ,he was in charge.he was safe there. Wow I'm amazed with the kindness of people

[@jww732]

The greatest SWU interview ever. Mark I love and respect your dedication and vision so much. Please never stop documenting. 🙏

[@StellaAdler_]

What a lovely, calm lady. I wish the interview lasted longer. Her storytelling paints pictures. Thank u for this!

[@sammyrnaj]

I'm speechless! When Rita started speaking, I was mesmerized. As a Catholic, I'd be more honoured to meet her than to meet the Pope! So modest. So truthful to the core. Such an exceptional life experience. So authentic. So original. I'm distributing this video. I can't thank you, the Producer enough! To think I saw this video so many times & passed it by! I look forward to more from Rita. Bless you both!

[@christineschultz6513]

This person is so lovely and she tells her story with such grace and insight!

[@sharonthompson672]

What a gift! What a survivor! What a special person! 🌹🙂 *"Allow your soul to lead you, not your ego."* 🥰

[@pie0ful]

Rita you been so being so brave and in complete self expression will transform so many lives. Thank you for your service

[@lisablanchard8915]

Watching and listening to these interviews, people who share there life experiences that are so very different than mine is eye opening...it allows me to see the world in a very different way...leaving me less judgmental and understanding of others where there stories are raw and real... that tell the truth of how they survived our worst nightmares...Thank you for educating us to a better understanding of how things come to be for many people that suffer at the hands of others ...my heart goes out to all that have the courage to participate...I learn so much and take the advice given seriously

[@ddz1375]

Thank you very much Rita. You have a wonderful gift of being a communicator and a conduit those who cannot speak. I pray that you continue to be a blessing to other people and bring the ease of compassion and loving kindness into people's lives. Thank you for your truth.

[@CarolynnMc01]

What a fantastic iinterview Mark. Rita's story is so interesting and she's done a wonderful job of telling it. I hope there's a part two. (Rita, if you see this, thank you for such a personal, candid walk through your life!) Blessings sent.

[@tiffanybazemore3058]

I could listen to her read audiobooks. Great story teller. Excellent interview!

[@zuzepa]

This is another level. I love this so much! Thank you, Mark and Rita.
