Ralph Natale's mistress - 03/03/17 04:33 PM
What a joke book this is going to be anyway... from a joke boss.
Philly Clout: Mob boss Natale in hot water with ex-mistress
PhillyClout Team
Former Philadelphia mob boss Ralph Natale – believed to be the first sitting La Cosa Nostra boss to testify against his own crime family – is finally releasing his tell-all memoir this month.
Last Don Standing: The Secret Life of Mob Boss Ralph Natale is full of anecdotes about Natale’s violent tendencies “sprinkled throughout the book like locatelli cheese atop a plate of spaghetti,” according to a Philly Mag review by our colleague David Gambacorta.
While that sounds delicious to Clout, Natale’s ex-mistress Ruthann Seccio is none too happy that the married mobster, whom newspapers once dubbed “King Rat,” has kissed off their entire affair in a couple of sentences.
As in, we’re concerned that Seccio, 48, might actually be plotting to kill Natale, 81. He described her in the book as “the only regret I have.” Not so smart, Ralph!
Seccio, who still lives in South Philly, says she has been looking over her shoulder for hit men since 1999, when Natale flipped and “left me holding the bag.”
“For 17 years, I’ve been staying in my lane. If they would have done the book correctly, I would have stayed in my lane,” Seccio warned. “Now that you don’t think my life is worth it, I have to come back out. I’m coming at you, Ralph, with an 8-pack of TNT. If I got to, I will flip a car on I-95 just to be heard. My [expletive] life matters.”
Anyone get the sense that this might end badly?
Seccio said she carries a gun legally for her own protection and practices shooting at the range.
“I’m a great shot, believe me,” she said. “I just got another [gun]. I put a laser on it.”
Natale met Seccio – his “future goomah,” as he describes her in the book – in 1994, when she was sunbathing by the pool with his youngest daughter.
“I didn’t go looking for a bald man, my friend’s father, 34 years older than me,” Seccio said. “He came for me.”
Now, she said, she’s looking to “take down his book.”
Clout has a good idea where Natale is living these days – it’s within driving distance, we’re told – but our policy since Natale’s release from prison in 2011 has been not to disclose his whereabouts, for obvious reasons.
Last Don Standing is due out March 21. Seccio says, don’t bother buying it. “Why spend your money on bull-?” she asked.
But, coincidentally, Seccio says she has a helluva life story of her own if any writers are interested in collaborating.
Highlights include: getting “blown up by a stove when I was in kindergarten,” sitting in on “made” mob meetings, and hiding under her mattress with guns until being rescued by the Junior Black Mafia.
What else do you need?
