Mob Wives star Renee Graziano claims her ‘snitch’ husband’s watch collection was FAKE and ‘wired for surveillance’ after she tried to sell it at a pawn shop.

Mob Wives star Renee Graziano recalled making a shocking discovery after trying to sell her ex-husband’s watch collection.

The 55-year-old reality TV star said she was left with a mountain of bills after her ex-partner Héctor Pagán was sentenced to prison for murder in 2014.

To relieve financial stress, she took her prized doll pieces to a pawn shop, only to discover that the jewelry was not only fake but also rigged for surveillance.

“I ran out of money, so I take his watch collection and go to the jeweler,” he explained during his stop at the Dumb Blonde Podcast On Wednesday.

“The jeweler comes and says, ‘Renee, sit down,'” he continued. ‘”All the watches are fake and they all have wires.”‘

The jeweler also suggested that Renee take off the watch she was wearing at the time, a Rolex that Hector had given her while she was sick in a hospital.

As it turned out, Pagan had orchestrated a deal with the feds to avoid a longer prison sentence in his murder case.

He carried a hidden “cable” recorder and recorded Graziano’s father, reputed crime boss Anthony ‘TG’ Graziano, as part of an undercover DEA investigation.

In 2003, Graziano was indicted on federal charges of racketeering, racketeering, gambling and murder based on recorded conversations with his son-in-law.

He was released from prison in 2011 and died in 2019.

On the Dumb Blonde podcast, Renee called out Hector for his “shameful” decisions, calling him a “snitch.”

‘He’s a liar. That is a misfortune. “He doesn’t deserve to breathe,” he added.

‘He named my father… who wanted to give him my last name so he could be the gangster he wanted to be… and you’re a rat?’ You hurt your son, you beat your wife. You’re a fucking piece of shit.’

Pagán was released from prison in 2021.

The Celebrity Big Brother alum, who shared a meaningful post celebrating 40 days of sobriety just weeks earlier, also opened up about her near-fatal fentanyl overdose in 2023 during the appearance.

He recalled the harrowing incident that occurred in September 2023 after consuming an unspecified drug laced with fentanyl.

“I overdosed,” he recalled. ‘I just lost my whole life. I couldn’t come up for air.

She noted that at the time her sister Jennifer Graziano ‘didn’t talk to me for a year and a half’ and her son AJ Pagan, 29, ‘didn’t want to talk’ to her either.

“Everything in my life was falling apart,” he said. ‘No one wanted to talk to me. Everything started to accumulate and accumulate and accumulate and accumulate. I gave up.’

“I just lost my shit, man,” he admitted. “Someone gave me a bag of fentanyl.”

He said the next thing he knew he “died in a restaurant in Florida.”

“I was dead, intubated for three days,” she continued before adding that “she spent nine days there learning to walk again.”

“That was it for me,” she said of what motivated her to go to rehab. “They said I wasn’t going to make it.”

During that time, Graziano, who said he “doesn’t remember anything because the three days were erased from my brain,” said “no one in my family came to the hospital.”

She said they just “didn’t want” to see her and “just couldn’t do it.”

Despite that, however, he said he understood his loved ones’ reasoning and “doesn’t blame them” for putting his family “through hell” in the time before his near-fatal overdose.

He subsequently entered a rehabilitation facility before moving to Lamar Odom’s Southern California Wellness Center for trauma therapy.
