ArchivesSmoking Gun debuts Gotti footage series.
If Growing Up Gotti’s hair gel crises, teenage mood swings, and fights over tattoos aren’t exactly the sorts of things you had in mind for a reality series about the Gotti family, there’s a new Gotti-themed reality series online that you’ll appreciate. Our friends at The Smoking Gun say that “[w]hen it comes to watching the Gottis squabble, we prefer to pop in surveillance videotapes made during a two-day family visit to the Illinois penitentiary John Gotti called home (prison officials recorded all visits to the Gambino family boss).” Thus, they’re debuting their own series called Blowing Up Gotti that will feature new footage every Monday. In the debut episode, “an irritable Gotti meets with his brother Peter, Victoria, and her son John, who was 10 at the time and not yet addicted to hair gel.” And he also “threatens the kid with bodily harm and tosses him from the visiting room” after a disagreement over what type of career John should have. Fun.
