Victoria Gotti (born November 27, 1962) is a writer and reality television personality who is also the daughter of the deceased Gambino crime family Mafia boss, John Gotti.
Victoria was born in Brooklyn, New York City. Her father was convicted mob boss and criminal John Gotti and her mother was Victoria DiGiorgio, who is of Russian ancestry on her mother's side. Victoria Gotti was raised in Howard Beach, New York with her siblings John, Pete, Frank, and Angela.
Victoria entered St. Johns University after graduating high school. She claimed while at St. Johns that she suffered from mitral valve prolapse, a rare condition that makes the heart race, causing dizziness and palpitations. Her condition meant that she needed to watch her health carefully, take regular medication, and occasionally wear a heart monitor. She was often exempt from arduous academic commitments because of her health concerns. She also began to develop a condition in which one eye would water incessantly.
In 1984, she married her high school sweetheart Carmine Agnello, a scrap metal dealer. The couple had three sons: Carmine, Jr., John, and Frank. Their daughter, Justine was stillborn.
In August 2005, Gotti claimed that she had breast cancer. However, after being accused of faking her illness by various media outlets, she admitted soon after her initial announcement that she did have precancerous cells present in her breast, rather than an actual diagnosis. The bad media that she received from her breast cancer claim is also believed to have caused the cancellation of Growing Up Gotti. Her publicist Matt Rich also quit as a result of the incident.
As of May 2009, foreclosure was approved on the $3.2 million mansion that she was awarded as part of her divorce from Agnello.
