Renee Graziano is shutting down comparisons between her iconic 'Mob Wives' and the new reality series 'Members Only: Palm Beach.' The reality star insists the Palm Beach high-society drama can't replicate the mobster magic. Spilling tea in a recent NYC chat, she calls the idea one to 'sleep with the fishes.'
Oh honey, if there's one thing Renee Graziano knows, it's mobster realness! The 'Mob Wives' OG just dropped the ultimate shade on folks calling 'Members Only: Palm Beach' the next big thing in the genre. Speaking to TMZ in New York City earlier this week—published January 17, 2026—she straight-up said the comparison needs to 'sleep with the fishes' because 'Mob Wives' simply can't be replicated. 💅
Why the beef? It all started after social media commenters drew parallels following a chat with one of the Palm Beach show's stars, Taja Abitbol. But Renee? Not having it. 'The women in the show—which follows several ladies as they navigate the hierarchies of Palm Beach high society—aren't married to mob members, so there's really no comparison,' she told them. Fair point—Palm Beach elite vs. actual wise guys? Worlds apart, darling.
And plot twist: Renee's got her own fresh project brewing! She's starring in 'Married by the Mob,' an immersive dining experience where guests can play pretend at a mob wedding—complete with dining, dancing, and the cast, but zero real whacks. No acting classes needed for RG; she's calling in favors from her 'potential acting consiglieres' for tips. Her super producer sister Jennifer Graziano is in on the action too, dishing the deets.
'Members Only: Palm Beach' might be heating up reality TV, but as Renee implies, 'Mob Wives' remains the undisputed godfather. Eyes emoji on this rivalry—will Palm Beach ever measure up, or is it just fancy fish food?
