AllAboutTRH Exclusive Interview With Carla Facciolo’s Husband Joseph Ferragmo! Joseph Talks Mob Wives, Junior, And More!
I had the opportunity to speak with Joseph Ferragmo. Joseph is the husband of Mob Wives star Carla Facciolo and has recently appeared on the past two episodes of Mob Wives. I spoke to Joseph exclusively and asked him about how his life is now, where his relationship stands with Carla, his thoughts on Mob Wives, what he’s up to now, and a lot more! Check out the interview after the jump!
How does it feel to have your freedom back after being in prison for 7 years?
Well today was a nice day because I took the kids down to the beach and I’ve been home for 6 months now and it’s nice when you get to walk around the beach and actually sit back and just say ‘wow this is what you’ve been missing.’ You know I’ve been out for a little over 6 months and my mind was focusing on getting my life back together and taking care of the kids. So today it was great because I got the chance to say ‘let me sit back and smell the roses…’ as much as it sounds like a corny, that’s actually what I felt and it’s great to finally have my freedom back. Being in prison you’re told what to do and when to do it and you don’t have your freedom at all so it feels really good to finally sit back and have that again.
So are you free to do what you want without any restrictions?
Well I’m currently on supervised release meaning the police can call me at any time and do random check ups for drugs, pop up to visit me anytime they want and I have to report to the federal parole officer once a month. I also have to show pay stubs and I’ll be on supervised release for 3 years.
Let’s talk your relationship with Carla! Are you two trying to reconcile
No not right now. Right now were just friends and we do a lot for each other. We fight and torture each other here and there but we are able to help each other and if she needed me to get the kids or do her a favor I obviously would and the same goes for her.
Are you dating anyone now?
Yeah I am actually
How does Carla feel about it?
Well she’s a little upset about it i believe but you know she goes on her dates and I just think before I was away. I was a lot different. Like when I was at home I was always out in the town, always drinking and doing things and she was always home and now that I’m back home it’s the opposite. I kind of just want to be home and don’t care to go anywhere and she’s going out now.
How long have you and this girl been dating?
For about 6 months.
Do her and Carla get along?
They haven’t met but I’d probably say that they don’t really get along.
Uh Oh!
Can u tell me what exactly you went to jail for?
My charges were for tax evasion, wire fraud and security fraud.
Do you regret anything that you did?
I mean I try and have no regrets with anything. But at the time that I did all these things I had no children. My kids were born in 2002 and my charges were from 1997-1999. You think differently when you have kids and when I did all of this I was thinking about just myself but now that I’m finally home. I would never consider doing any of that.
Are you currently working?
I work at Angels Skin in Hylan Blvd, Staten Island. My father is a New York State board certified Physician. He owns and works there. He has undergone extensive training in Esthetics including Juverderm, Botox, Restylana, Radiesse, and Scleorotherapy. He has over 20 years experience in the medical field and his wife who is also a Nurse does a lot of the work too. I basically manage the place, do all the marketing, do all the sales, I deal with the reps, and I have a lot of other responsibility. Angel Skin does laser hair reduction, we reduce and eliminate shaving bumps, botox, skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion, juverderm, Radiesse and a bunch of other services.
Sounds great! Check out AngelSkinNYC official website: HERE
Are you spending a lot of time with your kids now that your home?
Yeah they are actually at the house now. I usually pick them up from school. I get them every Wednesday and every other weekend. Carla’s been busy so if she asks to bring the kids over, I’m more then happy to do it.
You’ve been featured in the last 2 episodes of Mob Wives. Are you officially apart of the show?
Right now I’m on about 5 episodes of the 15 episodes that they shot. They haven’t offered me a full time role yet but they have been talking to me about it for season 3. If it comes to it I’m down to do it but I’m also approached to be on another show so if that show is picked up I’ll do their show because I already signed a contract with them.
What do you think of the show ‘Mob Wives?’
Originally I had heard about the show back in 2008, Carla called me and told me that she was offered to be on Reality Show and explained to me that the show is about women dealing with husbands who are incarcerated and how it is to raise your children alone and I was actually okay with it. And then she never mentioned it for a while, came back and told me about it again. I later received an email from my partner explaining to me that the show was called ‘Mob Wives’ and I was really upset. I then saw the show and saw that it really has nothing to do with the mob lifestyle and should actually be called ‘Crazy Staten Island Housewives.’ It does have a factor of the gangster lifestyle but it doesn’t talk about mob business or mention names and that was my biggest concern. That’s why I agreed to be on the show this year. And my role on the show is being with Carla or with the kids.
What do u think about Junior cutting a deal with the feds and putting Renee’s father in jail?
I mean I have been incarcerated and knows what its like to have people tell on me and I knew Junior relatively well and I’m very very surprised just because I would never ever think that he would hurt anyone else. I don’t go with that line ‘hes a rat.’ I just didn’t think he was the type of fella that would hurt someone else’s family. I had the opportunity to go home. My kids were younger, the cops told me they were aware I had a family at home and that I would have been able to leave right away but I said listen. I can’t do that. I’m just not that type of guy. I have to look in the mirror everyday. And I just told the cops I don’t know what your talking about. Because in my head it had nothing to do with me being ‘gangster’ my point was just why should I put a family in the position that my family is in now. At the end of the day, that’s what this fella ended up doing. He put himself in front of everybody and said ‘you know what I’m in a bad position so I’ll make everyone else be in a bad position.’ As far as I’m concerned, he’s a garbage can. If he was doing what he was doing and then just because he gets in trouble that shouldn’t be a reason for you to tell on anyone else. I don’t know the specific facts about the case but supposedly he got Renee’s father involved which is ultimately one of the worse things he can do because not only is Junior now away from his son [AJ]. Junior also just took the second most important man away from his AJ as well and that was Renee’s father. That’s a real garbage can. I have a father and I have Carla’s father. Carla’s father was there for my son and made sure he took him out and took him to ball games so what would that make me if I know I’m going back to jail for another 5-10 years and then I drag along my father-in-law when he was always there for my son. You just have to be a very very selfish person to do what Junior did.
Do u dislike anyone on the show?
No I don’t at all. I have never met Karen. Never met Ramona. Drita is the biggest sweetheart. Big Ang I’ve known for 30 years, she is a doll and I’ve known Renee for a while. I have no problem with her.
What are your feelings toward how everyone acts on Mob Wives?
Listen, as much as people say it’s not acting. It’s acting. You are playing it for the camera. These people know what works and see what brings in ratings. They are aware drama and acting crazy brings in ratings. They know the screaming, hitting, scratching, shouting is all good for ratings so they do it. You have to understand something. Carla was raised by a great family always had money and when I was away was taken care of. So Carla didn’t really need to do this show but some of the other ladies did. The ladies know what other people like so they act that way for ratings. I think Carla stays true to herself. The way she is portrayed on the show is exactly how she is. Trust me, you don’t want to make Carla angry but then again she doesn’t care for drama. She’s over it. I honestly don’t watch the show because I hear about how everyone’s always bad mouthing each other and it’s just crazy. I happen to watch Sunday’s past episode because I was on it and last weeks because my son asked me to but in all reality, I don’t watch the show. I would watch if they showed Big Ang cracking jokes and the ladies doing fun things but I can’t handle the constant screaming.
What are your thoughts on Ramona?
Like I said I don’t know her but I can tell you I’ve never heard one good thing about her from anyone.
Joseph was absolutely great to talk to! He was honest and I agree with everything that he had to say. He’s a smart guy and knows what he’s talking about. I was a little torn when hearing he and Carla aren’t together. Deep down I’m still rooting for them to give it another shot! Check out these photos below of Joe with Carla and their gorgeous children.
Do you agree with what Joseph had to say regarding Junior’s latest betrayal? Still hoping for him and Carla to get back together? Thoughts on the interview?

Screw the part about the acting. Other than that, this guy seems cool. Don’t have him on season 3 though, “Carla’s dating life” (ie getting back together with him) is a boring storyline. They need to add some fresh faces and get rid of Ramona.
He seems like a great guy with a good head on his shoulders. I agree 100% with his comment on Junior. It takes an extremely selfish person to do what Junior did. Not only did he eliminate himself from his family but he took away the only other man in the family. Now AJ, Renee AND Renee’s mother are without their loved ones. It’s crazy.
It was nice to read about someone else and learn a little about Carlas hubby! I don’t think they are divorced just separated right? He is a very handsome man and together they all make a beautiful family! Wish they would quit looking for others and use that time for what’s right there-each other!
Would love to see them try & date each other and rekindle the feelings they once had- the love & passion they had to create those two beautiful children, I liked him and what he had to say-except in another relationship already. I’m sure Carla does not like it-no mother wants their children around another woman! I wish the best for them! You asked great questions and I like learning more about other people than (though I love her) Renee. Would love a blogger who could sit down with Big Ang-would love to hear more about the rat-friend who used a wire tap against her. And maybe when he’s 18-would love to read interview with AJ on how he felt growing up with his Dad on the inside & his mom on the outside! Just my wish list! You keep suprising me with great interviews & you keep a loyal fan/reader!
Just keep up the great work!
OMG he is a freaking babe!!! Nice work on the interview Roxy well done honey xx
Amen to that this guy is HOT!!!
DITTO, DITTO, DITTO!!!!!!! LOVE THE GUY!!!!!!
Yes, he is really handsome.
This dude is badass. I would love to kick it with him and Carla. Think of the stories they have! He is loyal, and his defintion of Junior is 100% spot on. This dude is cool in my books, and I didn’t think I would be saying that after how the show makes the husbands look like victims. Hats off to you, boss man!
look like monsters* not victims, I’m tired…
He seems very genuine and really honest. He’s so smart & handsome. I hope Joe & Carla get back together. They are just so perfect with one another, and seeing their beautiful kids happy that both of their parents are with them puts a smile on my face. I have a feeling they’ll get back together in the future. =)
Joe is a hottie. He not a mobster. He comes from a nice family and he’s putting his life back together. Good for his children to have their da around. And he apppears to be a good dad. I’m sure his children are in heaven having their dad home. They really just met him its important at their age that they have their dad. Around. Hopefully Carla stays away from bad guys and jerkoffs. I know get why she would let Joe get away. Oh well best of luck to Joe something tells me he’s not going back to jail.
I mean I Don’t get why she would let him get away. To each their own. Just saying.
Omg I love this guy! I’m gonna start calling people ‘garbage cans’!!!
haha – I agree! I liked his “garbage can” name too.
Awesome interview !! He seem’s like a great guy , and he is by far the Hottest reality husband on any of these show’s !! I hope him and Carla work it out , they seem perfect together !!
Great interview Roxy! I don’t know how you do it. He’s is a good looking guy.
Very good interview. He sounds like a great guy. Takes responsibility for his actions and has nothing bad to say about the other women. The first time he was shown, I thought, go Carla, he’s hot!
Great interview, a really honest guy ready to start life anew. Although when you live in Staten Island, you get to know, or get to hear a lot about a person. Joe is NOT in the mob, and I’m glad he’s out and able to spend the much needed time with his kids. BTW my family and I HIGHLY recommend Angel Skin, my mother goes there and swears by it.
She told me that a certain someone told her about this interview, she was awe struck when she came home~
Love this interview
thanks Rox!! Loved his answer EXCEPT that he Carla aren’t trying to make a go of it 
Altho I see the sparks fly when they look at each other.. I think it’ll happen in time when it’s right 
)
As for Ramona, BWAHAHAHAHA! Get her a$$ off the show!
Wow! Awesome Interview. He is a hottie! I thought that in the last episode when they opened the door to see his face! If I was Carla I would be wanting to get back with him! But he pretty much laid everything out perfectly. I do think these ladies (*ahem* Ramona, Karen, Renee) really AMP up the drama to level 10 when the cameras are on. Yes, it is entertaining some times and other times it is just exhausting watching grown woman talk about wanting to beat people up all the time. I agree Big Ang is hysterical and they should really try to “lighten” things up sometimes. Also, he was spot on on calling “Joon-ya” a garbage can for bringing others down with him.
I agree with what he said about Junior. If you do the crime then do the time….don’t bring other people w u. He just robbed his son of his father and grand father all at once.
My girlfriend and I had the biggest crush on Joey. He was one of the cutest guys in our neighborhood. I’m glad to see that he’s doing okay now. Carla seems like such an easy going person. It’s nice to see that they can get along with eachother so well. Hopefully they’ll get back together.
He sure is gorgeous he probably has all the ladies on his back and there kids are so beautful
I hope that they get back together.
Im really liking Joe I said it from the beginning. He’s true to himself just like Carla is to herself I wouldnt mind seeing him on ep#3 even if those two are dating others it would bring a fresh storyline to the show which they really need! A little drama never hurt anyone lol! They do make a beautiful couple would love to see them back together… ya never know…
Holy Cannoli he IS HOTTTTTTTTTT. I am amazed at how goodlooking this guy is. And he sounds so smart when he talks. Sorry Carla but I’m flying to Staten Island and getting a piece of this lol!
Carla looks the exact same in the older photos then she does now. Good for her! I really enjoyed this interview. He had honest answers he sounds really intelligent. I think it’s great he’s working and because I live by I’ll check it out
He told the truth, but he also lied. He doesn’t really like talking about what he did and how long he did it for. Hell to be honest with you he and Carla could still be living off of the proceeds he got from his crimes.

Great interview Roxy! I love how many interviews you bring us.
I wonder if this ‘other’ reality show is also produced/developed by Renee’s sister, Jennifer who created Mob Wives. It makes sense that she might try one called ExMobsters – a male version. I’d watch it!
The last mob husband on this show turned out to wear a wire. Now here’s a husband fresh out of prison. Could he be the next “Hubby” wearing a wire? Makes me wonder considering a real “M” would not be caught dead on a reality show let alone, volunteer to be on one. I had my suspicions about Junior, I only wish I shared it with everyone.
Joe and carla def. Need to give it another shot! There is still chemistry thereee
Cute couple… But as far as the ladies go carla is too scary n the other ladies arent acting for the camera or doin it for money they are lose canins so cut the bs bout who got money cuz its irrelevant! Dat was a dumb ass comment but I guess he defending his wife lmao…
He is a awesome guy who speaks nothing but the truth!
Hopefully, one these days Carla and him can get back
Together! That would be a beautiful thing! Carla is a beautiful woman. Get back together!
