Gotti Jnr stabbing

Sorry for yet another junior thread, but anyone know the facts behind his stabbing from a couple of years back?

My friend British hit the search botton. He says breaking up a friends fight.

Mmm,is that the truth though?

verly little that man says is true. he does have a horrible blink

he was always a big dude seems like that gut stab screwed him up guy looks sick.

I looked it up for you and found an article about it. Is it the Truth? Who the f knows!


Gotti refused to cooperate with Nassau County cops and prosecutors investigating the Nov. 10, 2013, stabbing in the parking lot of a CVS drugstore in Syosset.

Adding to the mystery, there were no witnesses, no surveillance video cameras at the parking lot, and cops found no bloodstains.

Gotti said he was home watching the Sunday night football game between the Saints and the Cowboys when “someone I’ve known my whole life called and said he had a problem at the CVS parking lot in Syosset just 2 miles from my house and asked for my help.”

“I got to the parking lot and two guys were fighting. I knew both of them,” he said, adding that they were “crackheads.”

“I tried to break up the fight and one of them pulled out a knife, swung it wildly, and the knife caught me in my lower abdomen,” he said. “The second cut missed my heart and caught the back of my stomach, about 4 inches deep.”

Gotti drove himself to Syosset Hospital, where he underwent surgery. While he was recovering in the hospital, he used the alias “Critical Kane” for privacy, he said.

“The one person who got me involved apologized for it, but I still don’t know which of the two stabbed me,” Gotti said.

Gotti explained that he did not meet with authorities because the stabbing was “a complete and total accident.” His wife, though, took a dimmer view of his rush to be a good Samaritan.

“The way my wife looks at it, ‘After all, you’ve been through, to be laying dead in a parking lot?’ ” Gotti said.

I got to admit it does seem a little suspicious now looking back at it with the knowledge of his talk to the FBI about some CN activities

Then again if they wanted him dead he would be dead , no knife , just 2 to the head and probably no body

He could of possibly been disciplined for breaking his oath and talking about some of the most powerful Gambinos at the time.

Unfortunately we will likely never know the exact details of the incident , but I think it raises the possibility that this incident was Jr being disciplined

IMO if they wanted him dead he would be dead. This sounds like a street fight where he might have flexed his muscle to the wrong guy. A lot of guys carry knives and aren't afraid to use it.

I agree with DB. It was meant to send a message.

Alite got him for all them days he had to hold the umbrella

Honestly I thought this was a setup hoax to create some buzz around him, to get the movie made...

don mega, I think you are absolutely right, too bad they didn't clip the moron.

DonMega

Wise, like an Irish proverb.

He went from being boss of the historic Gambino family to being reduced to going to a CVS parking lot to break up a fight between two crackheads...

Now can't ya just see Chin Gigante doing that as well ?? lol

This kid's a joke !!

Aren't you guys sick and tired of talking about Gotti yet?

I wonder how it all went about who shelved JR? Cali and Cefalu probably don't want ne thing to do wit JR or perhaps some Gotti's I wonder if they had a sitdown with JR to tell him he was shelved or how it happen? Or did he just quit like he says?

I can always find something new to trash him on !!

Yeah, I'd be interested in knowing too...I certainly don't believe he just quit...hey whatever happened to his promise to the judge that he was gonna write childrens books ?? lol....I wonder what color crayons he would use !!

hes back.....


seems the movie is on again,

The John Gotti biopic is on again, with a new set of Hollywood backers joining the original producer.

John Travolta remains tied to the project and is ready, once again, to step into the shoes of mob boss John Gotti in the long-gestating film, which Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films, Fiore Films and Herrick Entertainment are together producing.

Travolta met with buyers and glad-handed the press at a Toronto event Sept. 11 where he discussed how the Gotti project had become a family project. His wife, Kelly Preston, and daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta, have signed on to play Gotti’s real-life wife and daughter in the Lionsgate project.

“My wife looks like Victoria and my daughter looks like Angel. It’s really weird,” Travolta told the press at a recent event in Toronto (Travolta flew himself there in his own plane.)

Newly signed on director Kevin Connolly, known for his supporting role in HBO's Entourage, also noted the ironic coincidence: “It’s uncanny. I looked at pictures and was thinking this is too perfect. Life is too short not to go to work with your family and friends.”

"It's a small character study of John Jr. and John Sr. that investigates the realness and grittiness of their repoire and the historical events of the Gotti family."



Travolta stuck with the mobster-based biopic for years because of the quality of the story, he said, adding that his excitement has risen based on Connolly joining the project.

"Kevin presented his take to me, which is the vision I've always wanted, and I believe the vision John Jr. wanted," said Travolta. "It's a small character study of John Jr. and John Sr. that investigates the realness and grittiness of their repoire and the historical events of the Gotti family."

The Gotti project has been in and out of turnaround the past few years. Major Hollywood names had been attached to the production, including Lindsay Lohan, Al Pacino, Ben Foster, and Joe Pesci, and directors such as Nick Cassavetes, Barry Levinson, and Joe Johnston.

John Gotti Jr., son of John “Junior” Gotti and grandson of the legendary former Gambino boss, tweeted at Connolly: "I have faith in u, you will be great."





It is the latest development in the runup to a Toronto Festival that has buyers sparked not so much by must-have completed acquisition titles, but by projects that will be shopped for pre-buys.

Many of the hottest festival films were pre-bought and arrive at Toronto with distribution already spoken for.

Shaky funding is blamed for whacking previously announced versions of the Gotti film. One major media splash included Gotti family members, though this time around they seem to be keeping a low profile, except on social media. John "Junior" sold his life rights to the project, according to published reports.

He has since written and published Shadow of My Father, available in Kindle and print format.

The script is said to be "in large part a father-and-son story set in the backdrop of an iconic organized crime family in New York."

The elder Gotti was a New York City tabloid fixture known for his designer suits and strut. Typically news photos and footage would capture a smiling Gotti, surrounded by his men. A beaming "Jackie Nose" D'Amico can often be seen opening doors for the Gambino entourage, which usually included a deadly Joe Watts, replete with black pompadour, looming menacingly in the background.

The Gotti regime came crashing down in 1992, with Sammy “The Bull” Gravano eventually flipping and testifying against Gotti, who made numerous incriminating remarks that were caught on bugs planted in the apartment above the Ravenite. Gotti held court there, thinking he was ensconced in a safe place that the Feds would never have known about. Gotti spoke his mind to an often silent Frank Locascio, who was known primarily for his silence. In fact some have postulated that Gotti may not have spoken at such length if "Frankie Lo" had responded occasionally.

Whether any of the other high-profile names formerly attached to the project are still involved is not yet known. (Ben Foster at one point was in talks to play Junior.

Leo Rossi and Lem Dobbs crafted the most recent draft of the script, which was said to be initially developed under producer Marc Fiore.

Lindsay Lohan was once attached to play Gotti’s wife, Victoria, Joe Pesci was also on board at one point to play Gotti’s right hand man, Angelo Ruggiero, before he was recast in another role, Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso, and offered a lot less money. He sued over it. Sir Anthony Hopkins was also on board in an unspecified role at one point.

Let's pick our own cast for the film.

Readers, in your comments below, tell us, who'd be perfect for each of the following roles, as well as any figures we have left out:

John Gotti
John Junior Gotti
Aniello Dellacroce
Michael "Mikie Scars" DiLeonardo
John Alite
Bruce Cutler
Sammy the Bull Gravano
Jackie D'Amico
Angelo Ruggiero
John Carneglia
Bobby Borriello
Gene Gotti
Pete Gotti
Jerry Capeci
Bruce Meow
Paul Castellano
Robert DiBernardo
Thomas Bilotti
Robert "Bobby" Frank DeCicco

And you can be guaranteed that with the Gotti's personal involvement in this, both the mafia and the Gotti family will be glorified, glamorised and exculpated.

Funnily enough the guys behind the company making, or trying to make this movie are Colombos.

Gotti's story has been told ad nauseum. The last thing we need is a puff piece designed to inflate the legacy Gotti left behind. The legacy he has now, is exactly the one he deserves.

On a topic where there are still so many unexplored stories/people, I just can't understand how Gotti remains THE prominent figure especially considering how many stories about Gotti, or based on Gotti, we've had since his arrest decades ago. Is there really that much of a call for another John Gotti biopic?

The name sells to John Q Public.


To us its done to death but to ma n pa kettle he is 'da maphia'.


And the name, sells.
