Big Ang was an American reality television series starring Angela “Big Ang” Raiola, who first received television exposure on the second season of the reality series Mob Wives. She owned the bar Drunken Monkey in Staten Island, New York for seven years[when?]. Raiola’s uncle, the late Salvatore “Sally Dogs” Lombardi, was a captain of the Genovese crime family. The series, which is a spinoff of Mob Wives, premiered July 8, 2012, on VH1.[1]

Raiola confirmed during an interview in May 2013 that a second season of Big Ang was being produced,[2] but it was later revealed that the season would be retooled as another spin-off titled Miami Monkey, which premiered on September 8, 2013.[3]

With her death in February 2016, the future of the series is in doubt.
