Who Is Karen Gravano?

Born on the 8th of May, 1972, Miss Gravano is the daughter of Salvatore Gravano, popular known as “Sammy the Bull”, an influential member of the Gambino crime family. Karen’s father confessed to have been involved in the murder of nineteen people before he decided to cooperate with the government and help bring down the Gambino crime family boss, John Gotti, and some of his other associates.

The public would not have come to know who Karen Gravano is if it was not for her career on reality TV as she was previously in federal witness protection where she was required to change her identity.

As a result of her father’s work with the mafia, Karen Gravano did not have a normal childhood although she was well taken care of. At the age of nineteen, her father was arrested and he testified against members of the crime family, giving Karen her first taste of the limelight as she would often appear in the media.

Consequently, the Gravano family moved to Arizona in 1992 under the federal witness protection program to start a new life. While there, she qualified as an aesthetician and subsequently opened her own day spa.
