“Mob Wives” star Renee Graziano revealed she nearly “died in a restaurant” last year after overdosing on fentanyl.
The reality star, 55, said she was hospitalized for more than a week and had to learn how to walk again after the harrowing incident.
“Everything in my life was falling apart,” she recalled in a preview of Wednesday’s episode of the “Dumb Blonde” podcast, obtained by TMZ.
“Nobody wanted to talk to me. … Everything just started piling up,” she told host Bunnie XO. “I gave up.”

The “Celebrity Big Brother UK” alum said she does not “remember anything” from the beginning of her hospitalization, adding, “Three days are wiped from my brain.”
While Graziano shared that “no one” in her family visited her at the hospital, she does not blame them because she admittedly has “put them through hell.”
TMZ reported that she subsequently entered a treatment facility and got sober.
Graziano previously said her struggles with substance abuse stem from anxiety, depression and sexual assault endured at the hand of abusive partners.
The daughter of mobster Anthony Graziano was arrested for driving under the influence in Staten Island in January 2022 after crashing into a parked car.
“No one was involved in the accident but me no one was touched, or injured,” she wrote on social media afterward.
“I was taken to the hospital as a precaution, there I was tested, & treated, grateful to be alive!!”
