Gourt Home::Gourt :: Victoria Gotti
Victoria Gotti (born November 27, 1962 in Brooklyn, New York) is a daughter of the late mob boss John Gotti and his wife Victoria (née DiGiorgio) Gotti (often referred to as "Victoria Gotti, Sr."), and is the star of Growing Up Gotti on the A&E Network.
She has three sons by her ex-husband, jailed mobster Carmine Agnello: Carmine Jr., John, and Frank. She also had a stillborn daughter, Justine, in 1985.
Victoria has a sister Angela and two brothers, Peter and John A.. Another brother, Frank Gotti, died in 1980 in an automobile accident. John Favara, the driver of the vehicle involved, was abducted and presumed killed in retaliation -- his body has never been found.
Victoria Gotti was a columnist at the New York Post and is currently a columnist for the US tabloid Star, and is the author of several books including:
She suffers from mitral valve prolapse, a heart disease, and wears a pacemaker. She has also written about this condition.
She found out she had breast cancer in November 2004 but did not publicly announce this fact until August 2005. However, after being accused of feigning her illness by some media outlets, she admitted soon after her initial announcement that she did not have full-blown cancer but rather had "precancerous cells" present in her breast.
Publicist Matt Rich quit after the breast cancer incident.
In 2006 Gotti published a cookbook, A Hot Italian Dish which contains many Gotti family recipies for Italian food.
