Curtis Sliwa, John Gotti Jr. both at wedding

September 30, 2019


Would you like the chicken or the old beef?

Temperatures ran high at a Staten Island wedding over the weekend because Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa and John Gotti Jr. were both guests — which was awkward, since Gotti Jr. was charged with the kidnapping and attempted murder of Sliwa back in the ’90s.

We’re told that the pair were kept “on opposite sides of the room” at the nuptials of AM 970 host Frank Morano at the Hilton Garden Inn.

Sliwa — who founded the amateur crime-fighting group in 1979 — was kidnapped in a stolen taxi in 1992 and shot multiple times by a gunman who had been hiding in the front seat.

Sliwa had made disparaging remarks about Junior’s father, John Gotti, the late boss of the Gambino crime family. Gotti Jr. was tried multiple times, but never convicted.

After the wedding, Sliwa told us that he struggled to keep his mind off his fellow reveler.

“I would look in [Gotti Jr.’s] direction … You couldn’t miss John and his sister [Victoria Gotti].”

“To use street terminology, I was mad-dogging him,” he said, meaning that he was staring daggers at Junior. He added, “People were reminding me this was my friend’s wedding — don’t make a scene; don’t get into a dust-up.”

“There were a lot of people … taking my temperature and trying to distract me,” he said.

Also at the celebration was Maureen Gioeli, the wife of Tommy “Shots” Gioeli, an alleged high-ranking member of the Colombo crime family, and lawyer-turned-felon Frank Gangemi.

Former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey, Assembly member Nicole Malliotakis, Staten Island Borough President James Oddo, City Council Minority Whip Joe Borelli, former Rep. Dan Donovan, billionaire John Catsimatidis and Harvey Weinstein lawyer Arthur Aidala also attended.

Former “SNL” star Joe Piscopo, who brought model Carol Alt, sang “New York, New York” and “That’s Life.”

Gotti family slams Curtis Sliwa and his ‘goofy red beret’

October 01, 2019

The bad blood is boiling over again between members of the Gotti family and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa.

The family is livid about a Page Six story on a wedding Sliwa and John Gotti Jr. attended over the weekend. We wrote that Sliwa and Junior — who was accused of kidnapping and attempting to murder Sliwa back in the ’90s — were kept on the opposite sides of the room at the Staten Island nuptials.

Sliwa even told us that he was “mad-dogging” — translation: shooting nasty looks at — Junior all night and that “people were reminding me this was my friend’s wedding — don’t make a scene; don’t get into a dust-up.” (Sliwa only said he was staring at Gotti Jr., and not vice versa.)

Now, the Gottis are accusing Sliwa of playing up the situation for press. Gotti Jr.’s sister Angel tweeted in response to our story, “Sliwa still whoring I see. Big mouth trouble makers NEVER change, always desperate for attention … It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding you Doofus!”

She told us when reached for comment, “[Sliwa would] sell his kids for attention and publicity. I don’t know who is worse, he or [Gambino family turncoat] John Alite. Two [people] who can’t seem to get attention unless they’re lying about Gotti, Gotti, Gotti!”

Either way, Frank Gotti Albano, grandson of the Dapper Don, chimed in by tweeting: “I sat next to my uncle the entire wedding we had a great time.” He added of Sliwa, “I think he was jealous that more people from the wedding came to our side of the room and lined up to take pics [with] my uncle and my family and no one gave a s–t he was there wearing his goofy red beret.”

Sliwa — who founded the Guardian Angels in 1979 and is now a radio host — was kidnapped in a stolen taxi in 1992 and shot multiple times by a gunman who had been hiding in the front seat. Gotti Jr. was tried but never convicted. (An online commenter darkly joked of Sliwa’s attendance, “Did he come in a cab?”)

The colorful nuptials were for AM 970 host Frank Morano and Rachel O’Brien.

Crack up

The Gotti's all act like friggin teenagers..They're an embarrassment !!

Sliwa would do anything for attention and publicity ?? Lol

But how much idiot can be a person to invite a man and the man that ordered to kill him at his wedding?

Who in his right mind would invite these “characters” to a wedding? Given all the politicians that were attending I’d say someone quite loaded & connected. Or perhaps they wanted to add an edgy twist to an otherwise boring social event.

He wears a beret is the best insult they can throw at him? The guy does a public service trying to keep the streets safe. It's not something that should be mocked.

I love how the gottis always act like the victims lol. I mean their father,uncles,and john junior were all brutal criminals. Also. Sliwa did get kidnapped and shot by the Gambinos so he isnt "lying or whoring himself out for publicity? By the way Angel Gotti has actually become worse than Victoria these past few years

marano the moron..

You sure you ain't Sliwa? Just reading through your posts, you pour an unusually large amount of hate on Gotti Jr.

sliwa is almost as bad as the gotti's as far as lying publicity whores go. idk if I can picture him "mad dogging" anybody either.

he wasn't lying about getting kidnapped by junior and those guys but he has a long history of lying and likes a camera in his face.

Because I think he's an annoying clown and an embarrassment to his family !!

dont you think the hate is deserved?

It's been 27 years. I think Sliwa should let shit go.

I mean if you are beaten,almost killed,and still obviously hated by those morons then its hard to "let it go". I dont even like Sliwa all that much but the Gottis are simply trash

A public service? 10 out of 10 New Yorkers would punch this guy in the face if he tried to place them under citizens arrest.

sliwa kinda is like rudy g. they were beloved awhile back but the skeletons came out. rudy crazy today. sliwa i forgot did he get caught staging shit or something. i forgot. but his days in the public eye kinda over. jr gotti is strait trash homie like the great professor randy moss once said. lets go cowboys i fucking hate aarron rodgers

the post wrote tommy shots wife was there.... who ever writes that colombo mafia blog is good. they know deep inside shit like maybe its some guy that used to be with there family. the tommy shots piece is great give it a click.

The principle is still good though, right?

Alite does a youtube video and Junior either embarrasses himself online or has his family embarrass themselves for him to bash Alite...

Notice when Gravano does a youtube video..a serious gangster, Junioe doesn't say ugots

That's why he's a joke..Guy puts his father away for life and 25 years later is still too scared to call him out for it !!
