My dad's Volkswagen beetle was stolen. He went to Mr Gigante, respectfully and asked for help. He knew my dad went to work and was not involved. Within a day or 2, the beetle shows up parked on the street. My Dad thanked him and was never expected to return the favor. A true gentleman.
C'mon... Gangsters want favors like crazy
@@Arthurian. not all the time for stuff like this, if it's things they can use then of course.
@@gmanzano89gm yeah like making him run numbers and such for getting his vehicle back
Mr Gigante stole it
@@seanb3204 gigante didn't steal cars. That's what poor's do
Thank you for not interrupting her! Her ability to just talk was extraordinary.
I don’t want to read her book, I want to hear her read it to me. Her voice is so soothing. What a remarkable lady, especially consider all that she’s had to endure.
I'm not gonna lie, they had us in the first half
Can i read it to you? Each night before bed?
She should do an audiobook! I heard they’re hard to do but since it’s her life story she shouldn’t mind
She really do have a calming voice
I have a feeling she will do the audio book.😮
Completely captivating! Nothing about her, experience, or gifts feels disingenuous. Mark was NEVER so quiet! Part 2, please!
I noticed that too
Italians do tell the best stories. ❤
@@Janellabelle Being a black man I've noticed that too.
He edits out the part where he asks questions
Yeah, she’s a psychic 😂😂😂
The way she described hiding under the table with the Italian music playing in the background while her father beat that man was literally like a scene from a mob movie. This was an absolutely enthralling interview.
well lets be clear about something - every mob movie attempted to depict the world she grew up in - its a chicken / egg thing. Personally this is a fascinating interview Rita is an excellent story teller she is like a time capsule - this is a time and people that are gone and will never be that way again.
Enthralling??
U were spellbound listening to how a human beat up another human?
That’s sick.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah typical Christian, judging other people. People like you are why I have literally NO respect for Christians.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Nice try Karen. The definition of enthralling is "capturing and holding one's attention; fascinating." Unless stories of severe beatings are extremely boring to you, you were also enthralled.
@@natebarry5553You have the mind of a devil; disgusting & sick. Any bastard that gets a hardon from hearing or witnessing brutality & abuse is a sadistic bastard of a pig and perhaps needs 2 in the back of his own testa.
She’s a great storyteller. Wow, I could listen to her all day. Well done! 👏
This woman was fantastic, hilarious and could have won an Oscar. No…better than any actor because this is real life. A true gem of a person who will effect so many people in a positive way. Wonderful interview!!!
Not as much as the father constantly playing a mentally ill person but yea.
I was only going to listen to a few minutes of this interview because I needed to get on with my day. Ended up listening to the whole thing. Her story felt so real.
Me too!
"Felt so real" because IT IS Real.
Most of it is very likely real, but the part about divination may or may not be real beyond Rita's mind.
Me too
This is no ordinary mob boss. This was the boss of bosses of the 5 families. The most powerful mafia figure since Carlo Gambino. Rita is an amazing story teller.
He was the last of the old school he goes back to the beginning just about
@@gemmamudd7167 yes, a mentee of Vito who took over his family and held a stronghold of the family for over 20 years. Feared but highly respected.
@SuM of NoN at least they knew what they were and didn't hide it like the government screwing everyone over. There's been many a time where these gangsters actually helped the common man MORE then the actual government and the police. Life..Good and bad ..it's not black and white .
There were much more powerful families in this era but whatever lol
@@osamabinturnt1287ur ass
As a Jersey girl abused as a child and as a wife I so need to meet this amazing woman. Thank you for sharing this. Her truth resonated. God Bless her.

I hope you get to have a healing session with Rita --- correction, both of you can benefit by having a sisterhood
❤️❤️❤️
This woman is an example of how just one person in a family working hard to break an "imprint" can change the whole dynamic with truth and love and can be the start of a complete diversion from darkness to light. God bless her. She is amazing. One of my favourite videos on this channel Mark.
After coming off Clonazapam I experienced my first ever panic attacks, you honestly think you're going to die and your heart rate and blood pressure go through the roof. Until I went through them, I used to think ppl who had panic attacks were weak. Trust me, you have no control when they hit and it's terrifying.
Exactly! Thank you for saying that
Being able to live with them is a sign of great strength. Many people die by suicide because of the sensations caused by these physiological/psychological attacks
So sorry you have to experience this 😢 I had, over the past years, perhaps 4 or 5 and I can attest that you are absolutely right ✅️ please take care and I'm sending you soooo many virtual hugs and positive vibes. Have a beautiful day 💛 💛💛
I went through the same thing coming off opiates. Absolutely horrible feeling.
Hohh omg I'm prescribed that for anxiety neurisis... im gonna be 28 in a few weeks..
Benzodiazepines, I'm scared of stopping them as I heard it's the worse drug to withdraw and I've used and been an addiction to various drugs before, the thing I hate most is the post acute withdrawals.. the residual withdrawal after the initial one. You don't feel human, no emotions, derealisation abd depersonalisation.... can't talk and socialise for up to a year or even more depending how long you have been on them for.
Can you share any tips or anything? Advice or your story.
I'm prescribed 2mg clonazepam 3x a day so that's 6mg. Altho I take all 6mg at once to chase a high. It's so bad.
I want to wish you and everyone the very best of life in every aspect! Good health and longevity and positivity and prosperity. Love and peace and hope 🙏
The fact Rita could tell this story and tell it so flowingly real is raw. Honestly one of the best interviews I’ve seen and heard. Especially being intrigued by this past lifestyle and the mob this was such an exclusive piece. Wish you nothing but peace and happiness Rita Gigante.
Manny mob interviews, but I agree with you there is something about this interview that tops them all I still don’t know what it is
that was amazing.... God bless y'all, thank u
I WISH RITA All The Best.She Deserves it .
Even more intriguing that he must have been a boss at the time or atleast part of the administration. Bosses usually don't commit crimes like that lol.
@@QuangNguyen-it3ub
Especially in their own home.
Wow, now I see why the people in the comments were so moved by this interview. Her experience and how she taught herself to power through her upbringing is very commendable. It is complex how we learn to be like and or not like our ancestors sometimes by choice and sometimes without even realizing it. Her speaking about being an empath is interesting. There are abilities within us and or some of us that go beyond what I would call typical. Thank you for sharing Rita and Mark and UA-cam.
Lots of therapy
I was so moved by this video that I scheduled an hour with Rita and it was so wonderful. She is a beautiful person and I was sobbing when I got off the phone with her (good tears). Thank you, Rita, for sharing your story and helping others. You are the real deal and I appreciate what you communicated to me, and the compassion you showed.
What is her website or contact info? As an empath, just coming to grips with it, I’d like to schedule a session with her.
lmao. so you believed her nonsense story and paid her money to tell your future?
Rita, why couldn’t your dad come to you at first?
@@a.alphonso6193why you gotta be such a cunt about it though? why do you care what people spend their money on? miserable 😢
Did her dead thug of a father join in? Smh!
Amazing interview Rita. I remember seeing your Dad (The Chin) when I was a teenager on Mulberry St.
you are a beautiful soul. 🌞🤍
Mrs. Gigante explains it extremely well. Most of us think of the mob lifestyle as glamorous but it truly shows how you are never at ease and constantly looking over your shoulder. Always waiting for the law to storm in and how much the wives and children suffer in this lifestyle! Excellent interview.
It'd be f*cking traumatizing. Constant funerals and weddings. The two things I hated as a kid.
As well u should be, always looking over your shoulder. Criminals should be haunted constantly by their criminal, if not heinous, behavior.
There are victims of the mobsters’ actions. Always.
You can probably to some degree say that about most people's lives. That's why they say you should never judge anyone unless you stand in their shoes. And, to 'be kind; because everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle'.
Have you never seen, like, Donny Brasco or Casino or anything?
They really didn’t give a shit about their families
Rita is an articulate, wise and knowledgeable historian on life of a mafia boss child. Never boring or full of herself. Always a pleasure to listen to her. Precious.
I haven't watched the full thing, but it's worth noting that there was a reason Chin didn't want his kids to be in the life. Unlike other bosses.
@@VSX66 most of the people I knew didn't want their children to follow in their paths. Most.
But in this video she never really talked about the mob. She just talked about how “special” she is, especially about being a fruit cake lol. This video has gay activism all through it. She spent the whole video trying to prove to herself and people like you that she is happy. But she is sooooo insecure and it shows. It’s kind of weird how she doesn’t believe in God’s Truths and laws but she believes in the “spirit world.”
@@ht2007 judgmental much. Who's really insecure and unhappy
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 Yeoshua said "I came to make my Father's name known". Do you know the Father's name?
I could listen to her talk and tell the same stories over and over endlessly
This interview is incredible- wow. What an amazing storyteller. I’m am addicted and could listen to Rita all day and everyday. God bless her.
Rita is an incredible storyteller! I respect her ability to trust her intuition and truth - it's inspiring.
yea, shes great. Very intelligent and engaging. Really enjoyed this. Could listen to her tell mafia stories for hours
She's probably a criminal as well
In a nice way ,some of her stories would have got her top billing at a comedy club, she's hilarious without knowing it.
@@paulkitchen1846 You mean the psychic stuff? Yeah, not my cup of tea but she seems to believe it. And compared to all the crazy shit that people believe nowadays, psychic visions seem kind of tame and quaint by comparison lol.
@@signoguns8501 no ,her story about mixing french fries with strawberry shake because she she likes sweet and sour is one example.
This interview is fascinating . Rita’s ability to describe intimate details of her life story is quite moving. Mark I just want you to know that I think what you do is of tremendous value to mankind. You give voice to so many aspects of humanity that are swept under the rug and not only that. The way you interview is artful. You let people talk but listen and quietly guide so that it remains cohesive and riveting. Thank you so much for the special gift you have crafted and unselfishly offered to the world. I wish you the best and will always be a n avid supporter. Much love❤
well said Tom
It's entertaining, but tremendous for mankind is a bit of a stretch 😆🤦🙄🤦🙄
Agreed. Beautifully said.
I agree, she does a great job recounting the events. The best interviews are like this one. So much riveting information told in short time span without prompting from Mark.
@@sharps147 ty so much Lisa 😊
Thank Mark for this incredible story. Really one of the best interviews I've ever watched. A part 2 would be really welcomed!
Very!
I really enjoyed her story. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks as well. I find when I stop trying to control things around me and just let go, I can not only read my intuition better but I am more at peace. My grandmother claimed to be a medium as well. I used to think it was just folklore but the older I get the more I can see that there are endless possibilities in the world.
Excellent story , well told, this is the way life happened, what a different
World we experienced, paranoid ,he was in charge.he was safe there. Wow I'm amazed with the kindness of people
Rita just explained some of my traumas in one interview. She’s very real, a great storyteller and very aware of her trauma. Hearing her explain her life and her emotions is actually very therapeutic
Repent to Jesus Christ “I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.””
Jeremiah 31:25 NIV

God bless her and her family. The day the cops started to arrest the Mafia was the day this country started to go to the hell we live in today.

Your second sentence is very true...a great STORYTELLER...that's it!
Rita is such a captivating storyteller - thanks for sharing with us!
she ceetainly is
LIMA LIED IN THE AUTOPSY COR AMANDA.... MARK IS EXPLOITING PEOPLE FOR MILLIONS OF VIEWS AND MONITARY PROFIT
What an amazing turn a story can take with the simple words “I’m a psychic empath” 😂
One of the best interviews on this channel. Thank you Rita for sharing your experience, you just connected so many puzzle pieces to my own life in 48 mins!
Mark you do such a wonderful job at bringing the interviews full circle. The closing words of the interviewees are always pure gold. Rita's story had me completely captivated.
I hope you bring her back. Her story telling ability is second to none. I felt like I was there with her! I was disappointed when it ended 😂
Ditto.
This was nothing short of spectacular. Mark, you tipped yourself and you didn’t have to say a word. I relate so much tho her. My youth and life are so similar. She healed a part of me.

Ray a Real I - tailin lol salute 🫡
Really? Were you connected? If you don't mind me asking?
This is such a brilliant interview. Her father was such an enigma!
@@Herewearenowentertainus If with enigma you mean brutal monster. Then, yes.
What a gift! What a survivor! What a special person! 🌹🙂 *"Allow your soul to lead you, not your ego."* 🥰
It’s hard to pick a favorite with so many interesting and heart rendering stories on this channel. But this is really one of the best. I need a minute to think after a glimpse of this woman’s unique life and insightful take. ❤
She was so traumatized by what her father did in front of her. It's certainly not her fault who her father was. This is a really good interview. What an interesting life she's had.
Interesting? more like fuked up, that's how it feels to live with a mobster nut job... I understand that it was out of necessity but still it is f k up life...
@@champion20199 Yes she certainly went through it. He was definitely a strange man, whether he faked it or not, he was brutal.
A lot of people wouldn't be contributing to her revenue stream if she were to tell us how cool it was to live with a psychopathic murderer who destroyed the lives of thousands of families by feeding their addictions for drugs and gambling then having them beaten to death because they couldn't meet his weekly payments. He was the head criminal of a murderous criminal enterprise whose success is measured in hundreds of gallons of blood, tons of illegal narcotics and decades spent in the sex slave trade. I'm pretty sure she has not signed over the royalties from her book or future speaking fees to a rehab facility in order to mitigate a fraction of the damages her family caused by the drug problems he cultivated all across the U.S. Every stitch of clothes and morsel of food she ever ate was sourced from Satan himself. Had she murdered her father for his sins then we would know that she has at least one redeeming quality.
@lovelylori1085 fancy seeing you here babes 😘
@@controllaa Hi honey, how are you? I love this channel. Hope you're doing well sweetheart ❤️😘
I loved this interview, I even cried. This woman is a light in the dark even when she is burnt out. You're amazing! Wishing you all the best!
I rarely ever comment but I watch your videos almost daily. Rita was an amazing story teller and probably my favorite interview to date. Such a great listen.
She speaks with love, just the energy in her voice it’s distinct. Living your truth is the only way…
Seems like a nice woman who has clearly been emotionally and mentally traumatized by her fathers life. I wish her the best.
That's what happens when your father is a volatile psychopath
She was sheltered from his life, how is she emotionally scarred? She lived the life of a princess
@@seansmith7462 🤦🏽♀️....we all handle every and anything differently. In the start of the video she literally said of a situation she experienced with her dads violence, and how it affected her.
@@RottedDollface I'm interested in mob talk, this is blood family talk.
@@seansmith7462 oh of course, same💯, I wouldve loved to hear more about it....but it was an interview about Rita. On certain parts I legit just paused and left. I still havent finished the last cpl of minutes. Some say she has other interviewe, but I will pass.
Very interesting woman, and loved listening to her stories of life inside a prominent mafia family. Her Dad made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Loved it! Can't wait for Part 2...
This was a fantastic interview. I rarely watch long videos anymore but this one was easy. She is a great storyteller, her calm voice and disposition makes you want to hear what happens next.
This interview was amazing. Rita is so clear and in touch with who she is, something I have been trying to get in touch with for such a long time. Many of us struggle with the scars of family trauma, it is inspirational to know it is possible. Her voice, her demeanor and gift for story telling, along with her ability to face her demons and in turn help other people, incredible. Hats off to this wonderful human being. I could listen to her for hours.
I didnt know what to expect in the beginning. I'm usually skeptical about people but this girl seems really down to earth. The wild thing is, I went through something similar with my dad. We never had much of a relationship. He was in prison throughout my childhood and as I started getting older 11, 12 years old I lived with him a lot of the time and he got me involved in drugs selling and also using and it changed my life for the worst and brought a lot of resentment between us. 20 years later my dad is dying from liver failure and I know he doesn't have much time so I write him a letter telling him who I really was since as early as I could remember. All the good and all the bad. I tell him things that we could never talk about in person because of foolish pride and tough guy bs. I forgave him for all the hurt he caused me and I asked his forgiveness too and I told him I loved him for the 1st time ever. It was about 40 pages of letter. After that he would call me crying and laughing and asking about this or that and in the end he we healed our relationship. He passed 3 months later. I only wish I had done it sooner but God does things on His time. When I heard Rita tell about her letter it hit me like a ton. Thanks Rita. Sorry for the essay I tried to keep it as short as I could.
So beautiful and sad at the same time. So glad You were able to make a wonderful connection with Your Father.
Beautiful
Just be glad you wrote and sent that letter. I’m glad you got up the nerve to do it.
@@staceymichaels9530 thank you. I definitely started to
@@lc-bb6bd I'm really glad I did. I might not have but I went to see him one day and he had lost about a hundred pounds. The sight of him took the wind out of me and I didn't know what to say. It seemed to humble us both. After I got back home I poured my heart out on paper. It was the best thing I could have done for us. Thanks for your response
She's incredible.. what a great story teller...
Just amazeing
I have watched many an interview, and this has got to be the best by far. The way she tells her story is poignant, real, and very touching, genuine and trustworthy. What a fascinating woman. I am in Florida. I wish there was somebody like her that I could see in my area. Like many others who have commented, I hope there is a part two.
Rita you been so being so brave and in complete self expression will transform so many lives. Thank you for your service
Incredible interview! So heartwarming she and her father made amends before he passed. She is so inspiring 💖
Mark I've been a fan of your channel for a couple years now, and you have a lot of great videos and stories of people. This one though, is next level. First because the way Rita tells her story and keeps you asking for more, is just amazing. Also, I dont think any of the other main interview channels have interviewed Rita. I'm certain they will all try and follow your trend and get her on their show, but you set the bar very high here my friend. Bravo!
She's been interviewed by other channels. She's running a scam of being a conduit for a crime boss.
@@franticflintstone7999 I think I agree with you. Story she tells is way too far away from reality to be true imo.
Watch the Clark Fredricks interview
Great username!
@@researcher707 May I ask how you would know this to be true? Or, are you just speculating on what you may think is true? There's a difference. It's not nice to make comments you can't back up.
Ms. Rita is a great story teller. I got interested and hooked as her narrative progresses especially towards the end where she said that she is 'gifted' and that she receives messages from spirits. Looking forward to Part 2.
I could listen to her read audiobooks. Great story teller. Excellent interview!
This woman is an incredible human being. I love her! I could listen to her speak for hours on end. I love her voice and her eloquence. Thank you for sharing your wonderful/emotional story.
Ditto. I didn't want her interview to end.
🤣🤣🤣 she's acting, a character. like her father used to do.
She is telling her story
This is the best interview that I've seen in years! She totally explained the family dynamics, her being an empathetic & growing into a strong woman, so fascinating. I get it.
*YES* 👏👍👌
Her father did nobody any favors by being a criminal
@@scottdaley1672 What the fuck does that have to do with her being a sweet person? Dumbass.
This was a phenomenal interview. Rita is a light in the darkness.
The absolute best interview I’ve ever seen! What a beautiful soul she is inside and out, she explained her father with humility but in a respectful way, I wish she had a channel because i would love to hear more at her being an empath, fantastic
I think the most compelling part of Rita's story is the forgiveness and the freedom and happiness she described because of it.
She helped herself then was empowered to help others.
She is a very courageous woman.
Love through forgiveness is the only house big enough for all the pain in the world.
Wow, this woman can really tell a great story! Now I’m going to read her book. Really interesting to hear this, from the perspective of an Empath and healer. And, because I’ve also studied in the healing arts, I can really appreciate the journey she has been on and what a contrast it has been from her family of origin. It is beautiful to hear. Thanks to her for sharing this with such candor❣️🙏🏻
I started watching this and couldn’t stop until I was all the way through. So much more than I expected. Good job interviewer in being so unobtrusive and simply letting her tell her story. I wish interviews by others would use same approach, not interject unless minimally, and let person communicate. Thx.
Great interview Rita and Michael , Rita you are an inspiration to me and I know the anxiety you felt as I went through a dramatic incident when I was 10 yrs old. I went through most of my life feeling that anxiety and I am happy to say I can control it. Thank you for including that experience in your book.
Best Maria
Her father was the last true mafia boss in American history. As a amateur historian of the American mafia this is a fantastic interview. Her father is such a historically legendary figure in organized crime that hearing her perspective is blowing my mind. He was absolutely loved by the people in his own family and simultaneously feared by everyone else in organized crime. It really can't be stressed enough just how monolithic a figure he was. And her story is just as interesting as his.
Right I immediately recognized the last name but when she said head of the Genovese crime family AND head of the committee it instantly clicked to me how powerful this man was. Literally a once in a lifetime interview. Ive never seen any interviews w her. This is pretty fxcking epic.
I am also an "amateur" historian of American Cosa Nostra, and when I saw the title of this video, and her last name, my heart literally skipped the beat. You are 100% correct, it cannot be overstated how important the Chin is in the very history of Cosa Nostra in America itself. A driver for Vito Genovese himself..the hitman fornthe attempted Frank Costello assassination, which secured Vito Genovese's contro and position as head of the then Luciano Crime Family, ultimately becoming the Genovese Crime Family. The Chin personally knew ALL of the most important figures in Cosa Nostra. Lucky Luciano..Vito Genovese..Frank Costello..Tommy Luchese..Joe Profaci..Joe Colombo..Joseph Bonanno..Alberto Anastasia..Carlo Gambino..and many more. He was in the mix with them all. The title of Capo Di Tuti Capi, or Boss Of Bosses, died with the formation of The Commission and The Five Families, but if any crime family bosses since could have made claim to that title, it would have either been Carlo Gambino, or Vincent The Chin Gigante. People mistakenly put John Gotti on this pedestal, but those who know and understand Cosa Nostra history, know that even John Gotti, as big of a figure in that life as he was, did not wield the kind of power that Chin Gigante wielded. Again, it cannot be overstated how important Chin Gigante is in the history of organized crime in the United States. I'm just absolutely amazed to be listening to this interview.
I agree, he was more powerful than John gotti! The chin was definitely the last of the powerful mob bosses
@@TartanArmy85 i’m sorry but the last I saw the Chin didn’t have a reality TV show on A&E. When you want to talk legacy. I’ll be right here.
Just kidding lol 😂
A heroin dealing devil whose drug trafficking is responsible for tens of thousands of babies being born heroin addicted throughout the inner cities of America. This is a piece of shh and nothing to be admired
This lady is Captivating to listen to. I didn't want it to end. She's so good at telling her story, I was picturing everything while she was speaking. I look forward to part 2... 💜👍
This was one of my favorite interviews, Mark. I’ve listened to it several times. I want to read Rita’s book. I am considering having her help me talk to my deceased parents.
Excellent!!! I love the way her life story evolved. It's perfect that she gets to share it with those who need to open their horizons.
What a beautiful storyteller. Thank you for sharing the story. Mark, what a privilege it is to meet these souls. Thank you, too!
I was thinking the same thing, she's an amazing story teller for sure!
A few times I had to stop and remember this was your channel. This story seems like it would be on 48 hrs or something. This is HUGE! I love the stories you have been telling lately. Just the different stories and other lives besides, prostitutes, drugs, and strippers. I don't mind those and they all have a purpose, but the others have been amazing and this one.... this is next level.
Great job to both of you. Rita you're such an amazing woman and your storytelling is so poetic and I never wanted you to stop talking.
Yes, always glad when these interviews are on topics other than the sex industry or mentally ill. You can overdo that material. Keep surprising us!
💯 ❤
@@curiousjorge6426 It's about peoples life stories and none of them are above another. And if they were, a prostitute or a mentally ill person would definitly be above a mobster. I know she's not one herself but it's because of mobster connections that she has a voice.
I think this one takes the cake out of all the ones I have watched. Truly fascinating.
What a lovely, calm lady. I wish the interview lasted longer. Her storytelling paints pictures. Thank u for this!
Mark, you’re interviews are getting REALLY good. They were always great but man, they’ve gotten so compelling. Bravo.
Getting? They always have been. But, I get it. :)
His talent isn't interviewing It's finding these great storytellers
I have seen an interview off her before. But this is absolutely next level. What a beautiful soul. Thank You for a beautiful story.
This is the best interview I have ever seen! Rita is just so interesting and now I want her book! Thank you for bringing her to the light.
Such a great interview. There is something so soothing about her voice and she's such a great storyteller. I could sit and listen to her tell her story for hours.
What a great interview, very informative. Hats off to you for not interrupting Rita and just letting her speak and tell her story 👍🏼
Fascinating story. Rita is very likeable and her story is easy to follow. I'm glad she made it to a point where she is happy in life
Thank you for this. I'm going through some tough times and fearing future plans. This helped me realize some things and made me cry.
She's an amazing storyteller. I'm interested in reading her book!
I literally got goosebumps and my hair raised on my arms when she started speaking of her journey to her truth!
This story is very relatable-trauma, stress, OCD, anxiety, depression are inheritable diseases under the best of circumstances. Courages story. Thank you for sharing.
5:32 What a great interview! Thank you Mark, for presenting it to your audience.- Personally sincere empathy,gratitude and forgiveness are the key to happiness. Rita expressed these in her interview.
This is such a lovely and extraordinary interview!! What a beautiful person and such an amazing story! I love the details and way she shares!
What an amazing story from a woman with amazing talents. Congratulations to you, Rita.
Amazing orator!!! She kept me stapled to the screen for the duration of this video! What a life experience she's had.
Shes probably recited this many times
Me too, so well spoken lady.
She's promoting a book, and has convinced people she is a psychic healer, despite using cbt in her own recovery. I imagine she is quite well practiced and I'm not convinced this isn't just a grift, tbh. It's a little too movie-esque, isn't it?
The accent and dialect never gets old.
What an incredible woman and storyteller. Thanks Rita! 🎉
This is quickly becoming my new favorite channel! SUCH amazing stories... interesting and 'educational'! It's SO cool to 'look through the windows' into these people's lives... or at least a sliver of a look into their life! :-)
Thank you for this interview, Mark! ...And thank you for sharing your story, Rita! :-) I'm happy that you found your own inner strength to carve your own path in the world! 💖
The one theme that strikes me about (almost) ALL of these stories is how childhood shapes us! It's not rocket science- no. It's really just common sense to see this point, in fact. But, when listening to each of these stories, it's almost as if you get to watch them grow up in their dicey backgrounds and blossom (or simply become) who they are now. I guess that's the art of story-telling though! ;-)
Im fascinated by her story and touched by her empathy, awareness and phenomenal storytelling. Thank you for sharing.
8:30 “What nobody knew was that I’m a psychic medium and empath!”
That interview took a 180° turn. I wasn’t expecting that, lol!
lol dang, haven't got to that point yet just started.
I'm interested now....
These interviews are a godsend. Amazing stories from a lost way of life. What a wonderful woman, I wish her the best.
What an amazing story teller! I was captivated through the whole video! Thank you for for filming this and thank you Rita for sharing your story.❤️
Wow, thank you so much Rita or sharing your life story. For some reason I understood what you said on a deeper level. And just through this interview, I somehow felt how generous you are with your spirit. I'm normally pretty practical with the comments I make on interviews thought yours hit me differently. Thank you again!
So interesting, she's a phenomenal story teller. I hope there's a Part2 in the future.
It’s kind of amazing how guys like ‘the chin’ did their mafia thing which was considering evil but till today people like my grandfather can recall all sorts of wonderful things these guys did for local people and their local communities. It’s kind of like 2 completely different realities.
The mob always protected the neighborhoods. "They're bad guys but they're our bad guys. Respect them" I wonder how strong the families would've been today if all the hits & eternal corruption stopped
2 things can be true 😊
Absurd. He killed thousands with drugs in NYC. But he gave out turkeys. Just STFU.
That was the best one yet!!! Goose bumps multiple times!!!
WOW I really loved this story, thank you Rita. As an Italian catholic from NJ this just fit. Keep up your amazing journey
Rita is so candid and forthcoming with her experiences and I have to admire her ability to somehow work through and understand from an almost self clinician point of view, what happened to herself. Rita grew up very fast due to necessity and definitely would of suffered with PTSD,
She seems so down to earth and kind. Just really seems like a nice, cool mom type
Wow what a fantastic and insightful interview! Love the format too. Watched from beginning to end! Finally got around to checking out this channel. I'm a now fan of both this channel and Rita.
Bring Rita back please, this is by far one the best interviews in your collection.
I'm speechless! When Rita started speaking, I was mesmerized. As a Catholic, I'd be more honoured to meet her than to meet the Pope! So modest. So truthful to the core. Such an exceptional life experience. So authentic. So original. I'm distributing this video. I can't thank you, the Producer enough! To think I saw this video so many times & passed it by! I look forward to more from Rita. Bless you both!
i love when you get a great storyteller on! you’ve had a few with a thick nyc accent and the accent really adds to what they’re sharing somehow!
I adore that soft NY accent she has.
One of your best. Looking forward to a Part 2.
She speaks so eloquently how could you not suffer trauma and ptsd after witnessing what she did ..she’s been through so much in life ,I guess people would think with her Father being who he was that her whole life was made ..it just goes to show you how it really is 😢
I have watched so many of your videos and this is by far my favorite!! Before I could even comment, I had to go buy her book real quick!!! I felt a connection with Rita, even tho I’m not from a “mob family” and not even 100% Italian, I just felt her energy and emotion!!! Loved this interview so much!!! Thank you and I am waiting anxiously for my book to arrive!!!
Please do another interview with her! She is captivating. Thank you so much for the work to do. I am a fan of your work. Cheers brother.👍
Wow, thank you. What a wonderful story. I hope there’s that part 2 you talked about.
I grew up in NJ. This lady looks like every teacher I had in elementary school .
