Victoria Gotti Admits Her Dad Was a Killer
Originally posted 09/24/2009 11:15AM
Onetime reality-show star Victoria Gotti is finally admitting that her father, the former head of the Gambino crime family, was behind some of the most notorious murders in recent New York history.
"I loved the man ... but I loathed the life, his lifestyle," Gotti, 46, tells the CBS newsmagazine 48 Hours Mystery in an episode to be aired Saturday. "How can anybody worship that life? How could anybody think there was any glory in that life? … I would lie awake nights and cry. 'Is my dad gonna come home? Is he gonna go to jail again? ... Is he going to get hurt? Is he gonna get killed?' "
John Gotti, who died of cancer in prison in 2002, finally lost his nickname as the Teflon Don in 1992, when he was convicted of 13 murders, including the slaying of his predecessor, Paul Castellano, outside a New York steakhouse. But Gotti had been fingered as the mastermind behind many more, such as the 1980 disappearance and apparent murder of a neighbor who accidentally ran over and killed Gotti's 12-year-old son Frank.

Victoria Gotti Saves Her Mansion

Victoria Gotti has saved her house from foreclosure, apparently by making a deal the feds could not refuse.
In a transaction said to involve both the U.S. Attorney General's office and Gotti's former mother-in-law, the daughter of late Mob boss John Gotti will buy 11 commercial properties once owned by her ex-con ex-husband, Carmine Agnello – whose 85-year-old mother, Marie, was seeking $4 million for just three of the properties that had been valued at only $2 million, reports New York's Daily News.
No purchase price was disclosed, but closing the deal will allow Gotti, 46, to turn around and sell the properties – and pay off the $700,000 mortgage on the five-bedroom, 5½-bath white brick Long Island mansion familiar to viewers of her 2004 Growing Up Gotti reality show.
