Well Wendyjog if you don't know what he did it's because your either too young or you've been living under a rock for the last 20-25yrs. I agree with the opinion that it's pathetic giving these people anymore attention. They get a TV show (crappy reality show but still)I mean that's just glorifying the murders and drugs that made her old man what he was.Now CBS is giving her more air time to sell her book. Lastly I would hope most people who have seen this show realize she knew exactly what her father did, just look at some of the clips of her spouting off when ever camera's were around their house. Her book should be boycotted because she just keeps getting richer because of who her father was and nothing else, it's not like she has any talent or has done anything good for people. I don't get it.

John Gotti was and will forever be a man amongst men in every aspect of honor. He lived and died a true man that loved God,honor,and his family. The man should have been elected president of the nation if you ask me yet you loser liberals that think its somehow normal to rape children,have sex with same sex,kill children(abortion),have sex with animals,smoke crack,etc...would have no concept of what a real man is anyways! Both John,and his brother Gene are Men Of Honor unlike you ****!!!

Victoria is the one who ordered the murder of John Favara, who accidentally ran over their unattended child, Frank Gotti. She kept on nagging her husband "You gotta kill him, you gotta kill him!" John Favara's body was probably dissolved in acid and has never been found.

Loser...No matter how wish to spin his life. Jailbird who dies eventually in Jail for being a lowlife. What even more absurd is CBS producing a show on this loser.

In New York people use him as an example of what not to do with your life. He reminds me of a punk / BULLY who eventually is disciplined by the principil in H.S.

Each family has it's "norm". For the Gotti family, "It is what it was".People had their own perceptions of the "family" life. I bet the day to day functioning was no different than yours or mine.

Thank you, Victoria, for finally telling the truth. It used to anger me and make me sad when I would see you on the news denying everything. The Truth shall set you free. I pray peace comes to you, finally.

OMG..For anyone who believes that V.G. didnt know what her dad brother and husband were in that life are absolute 100% fools. I grew up in that life and know everyone in that piece in all the footage. And I am sickened by her. Not only did she know she and her whole family loved it and reveled it. When J.G. was alive she abused people used her fathers status in every way possible.
As for junior. He is no longer in that life. But not because he quit but because he was shunned by the people who took over the family. He is hated by some very important people and is looked at as a whiny brat who has noone to protect him. Its a joke. And his sister is trying to sell books not confess.

As an Italian American, and Sicilian, who grew up in South Philly, in Little Italy, in the "bad old days", when Mafia was king, it saddens me to see the media still glorifying and enriching these people who have brought disgrace and dishonor to all Italian Americans. When so many great Italian Americans have enriched America, and sacrificed so much to improve their adopted country, still the media and publishing houses, don't even mention them; but allows these "vergognosi" to get rich and famous broadcasting themselves as "Italians" and Americans; as something to look up to. What these people and their families deserve, is to be completely ignored, instead of their egos enriched by embellishing their misdeeds, even if they are sorry for them. This makes me wonder just what America is becoming?

Disappointing show. It said little about what the "Godfather" had done before he died, and was illustrated by a daughter that mostly didn't know him. Disappointing.
