Big Ang's Daugher Raquel Discusses Her Mother & Mob Wives | Digital Originals | VH1 / vh1

[@njnjnjsg699]

Big ang was truly an amazing person! The day she died I threw away my cigarettes and never looked back. One year later I'm still successful and the only reason I quit was for her. May she Rest In Peace. Beautiful soul! Update 1/21 : I am approaching my 5 year mark without cigarettes. In honor of Angela ❤️

[@zme5485]

njnjnjsg you should quite for yourself and your health not for some tv reality star who, comidet suicide by smoking 40 cigarettes a day since she was 13 smoking is dead and every one knows that ,who ever died of it was asking for it period!

[@njnjnjsg699]

zahra suleiman that's just so not necessary!

[@deanageorge1692]

njnjnjsg well done

[@deanageorge1692]

zahra suleiman whatever the reason at least she no longer poisoning her body 💪

[@njnjnjsg699]

zahra suleiman like I obviously did it for myself too but she was the main reason to start the process of quitting.

It is truly crazy how with some inflictions one her daughter’s voice-she sounds just like ang!

*inflections. One letter difference but two very different meanings.

Big Ang looked so gorgeous without the surgery but her personality was the best and a breath of fresh air. Sad how the mob wives preach family and loyalty but don't stay in contact with her daughter.

[@classified773]

Andrijana Krslovic judging based on what's present with social media it seems like Drita was the only person who's kept Angela in their memories. Haven't seen Renee, Carla, Karen nor the other girls (Brittany, Marissa, Love, Ramona, Alicia, Victoria Gotti and the Natalies) post anything of her.

[@MissAprilCakes]

Ameerah AlZbi: But Drita always sed Ang was her only friend

[@novemBURRbby]

Her & Renee looked 🔥 without surgery!

[@kimmyg82]

she sounds like her mom alot!

[@priscillafuentes8663]

She was the show.

[@RighteousLadii]

big Ang was the life of the party

[@cwilmz38]

laura moore she made the show

[@RighteousLadii]

true

[@RighteousLadii]

I love big Ang

[@tammylewis9246]

REAL TALK

[@babygkay7099]

Yes she was 😟

[@stylecollective-qt9um]

Big Ang was probably one of the most loved people on reality tv, she was so fun loving and hilarious.

[@YourGraceMyLady]

Imagine having a mother like Big Ang. We all love our mothers but damn, Big Ang was a special lady.

[@MinestoDKL]

Wow what a humble daughter...not surprised because Big Ang was someone special

[@Nancitaxo]

I literally started crying I miss her so much!!!! I just wish she was still alive so she could at least be with her family and they can be happy again. :(

[@anaraposo2730]

big Ang was unique one of a kind too bad she left so young

[@TITA-n-Dimsum]

Beautiful comment! I wish the same for her family. I’m happy though she left a wonderful legacy (memories/kind words/hilarious moments etc.). The entire world loved her with the small glimpses of her life on screen, but her family had that in 3D! ❤

[@xiamariansupreme72]

Y'all needa learn that Ang had the money from the Drunken Monkey and Mob Wives to pay for the house. She began struggling to pay for the house after losing the Drunken Monkey and now that she's gone and there's no more Mob Wives checks coming in, how do you expect her daughter to maintain the house? She's a single mom and has kids to care for, too. If she sells the house, it'll be for a good reason. She doesn't have the money Ang had to pay for that house.

[@sabrinam5795]

It ain't that serious bro, she can't hear us talking to her

[@NaturelDeese]

You know what I agree

[@sarahburggraf861]

TheDominiquePinkPrint truth!

[@atarabellashop3640]

She should keep it. Weird thing with celebrity is that the value goes up the longer they are gone. If it wasn't for Fredrick Douglass' 2nd wife going against his children's thought to sell his home, we wouldn't have a Fredrick Douglass museum, his study with his writings or anything. It would all be gone. Elvis is a prime example of keeping the home, and increasing nostalgia, money and legacy.

[@daisydukes483]

Atara Bella Shop don’t get me wrong I love big ang but you’re talking about Elvis Presley. He changed music history. everyone knows Elvis. Not everyone knows big ang. I don’t think the worth of her house would go up by much because of her death.

[@sunshineproductions4122]

Big Ang was like a real life Betty Boop with a heart of gold- a one in a billion. Ang was truly the peace maker on the show. God bless her

[@mcwarhol17]

Still can't believe Big Ang died she was one of those reality stars that stuck with you and you wanted to know...her daughter seems like a strong person kudos to her....long live happiness and not giving a f about others ...luv you Big Ang

[@kashataylor6430]

I miss your mom so much. RIP ANG!!!!

[@shannongeorgiapeach76]

What a woman!!! She had style, class, heart of gold & such a great outlook on life. She lit up the t.v. screen with her Big Personality, she is truly missed. R.i.p BIG ANG💋🕊

[@TheMassageNYC]

She's gorgeous!

[@piedrabuena59]

A few more procedures and she will be there

[@reallydoyathink]

I didn't know Ang personally but she was a bright light on this show. She was blunt, loving, funny, giving, and just all around great. When I first heart she was sick my stomach dropped and then she passed. I actually cried and cry now thinking of what a wonderful person she was and how she will be missed. I know she's making the angels laugh now. It felt good to see this video. 💖

[@belfam89]

Side note I love the way she said daughter in the beginning I had it on repeat 😂😂😂😂

I love her dialect though lol

[@AllForUsInc]

As a mom the greatest thing is knowing we raised such strong women

[@MandusahRamirez]

Believe it or not Big Ang taught Me how to stay calm & positive in dramatic situations. She’s definitely missed!👑

[@AirbNTee]

No don't sell the house keep it n the family 😢 Ang put so much into that house don't get rid of it

[@AirbNTee]

Why's everybody so bitter? It's this crazy thing I have called an opinion, but how dare I think differently than the adolescent minds of those of you who find humor in arguing via KZbin. If it pleases you, you win. I genuinely don't care enough, just a fan voicing my opinion but I can see it lays upon deaf ears so I'll make my exit. Enjoy your weekend, I pray you have something better to do than this.

[@yenyfferposadas9744]

Tony Williamson exactly . . I don't gwt why she is selling it. idiot.!

[@edwardpeguero1588]

Tony Williamson totally agree she worked her butt off for her kids to live in it and enjoy it

[@robertward8130]

[@classified773]

Tony Williamson it would be nice but financially it would not be easy for Raquel to manage paying for her mother's house

[@rhyaweeks]

I'm seriously crying. I remember when Ang died and I seriously cried like I knew her. She was a beautiful soul man!! WE MISS YOU! !!! "Live every day like it's your last cause you never know when you're gonna go." -Big Ang ... she was such a wonderful person. I hope she doesn't sell the house cause Ang put so much work into it .

I already want her daughter to have her own show!!

[@KS-op5hb]

This was a lovely update from her daughter. You can tell this poor lady is still grieving so It is nice to see that she is taking control of her new life and starting anew. The loss of a loved one is different for everyone. I hope she settles into her new life as best she can. Her mom via TV was such a free and kind spirit, you can see similar attributes in her daughter. May God bless them.

[@ashewithane7792]

It's nice that they did this Big Ang was a great presence on mob wives and it shows they are still thinking of her.

[@kimmyj5523]

Raquel, you're gonna do amazing as a single mommy - you have your mom's will and independence! Big Ang was such an amazing person and a role model to me! I gotta tell ya, I quit smoking cigarettes on March 26th, 2016 because of Big Ang. My daughter was pregnant with my very first grand baby at the time, (a boy, born July 30th, 2016). When I saw Big Ang going through her heartbreak of not being there for her grandchildren, it tore me up inside. It made me realize that life is precious and short and I want to be here for my children and grandchildren. It has almost been 2 years since I quit smoking! Thank you Big Ang! I will love you forever for waking me up and making me realize so much! RIP girl! You are still and always will be very much loved! !!

[@kimjensen1783]

Update, I'm still here and it's been 7 YEARS of quitting smoking for me! Big Ang still lives on in our hearts. Raquel, I hope that you 🙏 and your children are still doing well. Mama would be so proud of you. ❤

[@hilodrvr]

MetalMama722 I’m sorry to hear this this is an old post 2 years ago I’m assuming that your mother is in heaven now but I understand my grandmother passed away from tgg by a effects of smoking she had emphacemia I know I spelled that horribly wrong but you get it and I watched her suffer for the last 5 years of her life on an oxygen tank

[@standingfortruth4043]

@@hilodrvr soul doesn't go to heaven by human standards as like for being good person or being kind/humane whatever but by God's one. And that is to accept Jesus and repent of sins, stay close to Him.. That is only way to salvation and heaven. All other ways lead to hell no matter how good of a person is if rejects Jesus and His sacrifice it's eternaly damned. I'm sorry to say but it's better to know harsh truth than to be flattered by lie. Some of my family members also died and unfortunately they never cared or accepted Jesus, i know they are not in heaven no matter how good and loving they were to people if they reject God He will reject them, actually He given us free will to choose wether we want to choose Him or not.. So please seek Jesus and tell others while it's not too late because none of us is granted another day or even another hour. If you don't believe this is truth than honestly open your heart in prayer to God and you'll see it will be answered-seek and you'll find. In Bible you'll find truth of this and afterlife. It's very serious
