The ladies of 'Mob Wives' appeared on 'The Wendy Williams Show' (weekdays, syndicated) and explained how their families feel about the VH1 reality show. Not surprisingly, two of the women said their mobster relatives weren't exactly thrilled with the idea.

"Was it hard to get your men to sign off on doing this show?" asked Wendy Williams. "Like, who approaches a mob wife about doing a reality show?"

Last night VH1 debuted its own 'Real Housewives' meets 'Jersey Shore' (technically, Staten Island) reality-TV series with 'Mob Wives' (Sun., 8PM ET on VH1).

Karen Gravano has lived in Arizona for 10 years, after her father Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" ratted out some fellow mobsters. Now she's back in New York, and Renee Graziano, daughter of an alleged high-ranking member of La Cosa Nostra, is none too pleased. A verbal smackdown must ensue.

"What your father did was [beep] wrong, and it destroyed a lot of families," says Renee of the "rat." Karen counters, "You don't have a problem with the fact that my father was a gangster and possibly put a gun to someone's head and shot him in the back of the head? That whole lifestyle doesn't destroy families?"

She then points her finger in Renee's face. Oh now it is on. Cue more F-bombs.
