Renee Graziano, best known for her role on Mob Wives, revealed a striking new look this week after shedding more than 50 pounds with the help of Mounjaro, a weight-loss medication favored in Hollywood.
The 57-year-old reality star appeared at the AMC Magic Johnson Harlem theater on Monday for the premiere of the film Run. Dressed in a bold red gown with silver heels, Graziano turned heads as she showed off her slimmed-down figure. She completed the look with her trademark jet-black hair worn loose, hoop earrings, and a radiant smile.
According to the Daily Mail, Graziano, the daughter of the late Bonanno crime family consigliere Anthony Graziano, joins a growing list of celebrities who have turned to Mounjaro as part of their health journeys.
Graziano has been candid about her transformation. In May, she told fans she had lost 52 pounds and credited her progress to weekly Mounjaro injections combined with supplements, therapy, and emotional work. Importantly, she emphasized that her results did not involve plastic surgery.
“I love sharing my weight-loss journey with y’all because truthfully, I’ve been so hard on myself behind the scenes… when I see photos that show the real, visible change—my clear eyes and genuine smile—I have to share. I want everyone to know if I can do it, you can do it!” she wrote on Instagram.
While she has avoided surgery, Graziano admitted to still using “a little Botox” and “a touch of lip filler.” She told followers, “Although I do believe whatever makes you happy and doesn’t jeopardize your life, do it!”
Her renewed health comes after years of hardship. In 2023, she nearly lost her life to a fentanyl overdose, which left her in rehab and forced her to relearn how to walk. That experience, she has said, pushed her to commit to sobriety and a healthier lifestyle.
Reflecting on the changes, Graziano credited her progress with restoring her self-esteem. “The substantial amount of weight that I have lost really has made me feel and look younger than I have in a long time. My mind is clear, my body has transformed, and more importantly, so has my confidence,” she shared.
With her recent appearance, Graziano not only showcased her physical transformation but also a renewed sense of resilience and positivity—one she hopes will inspire others navigating similar struggles.
