Victoria Gotti says her ex-husband is a deadbeat dad.
The daughter of the late Gambino crime boss John Gotti says she hasn't gotten a penny in rental income from commercial properties owned by her former husband, Carmine Agnello.
That money is supposed to pay the $25,000-a-month in alimony and child support she was awarded in 2003.
"I didn't get anything from that man," Gotti said in an exclusive interview with the Daily News. "I got a house riddled with debt. His obligation to the kids? Nothing."
With income from media jobs and book deals, she's picked up the tab for the upkeep on her mansion in Old Westbury, L.I., health insurance and sizable tuition bills for the private schools their three sons attend.
"Everything I own, I earned, I bought," she said. "It makes me crazy when others are quick to label me a 'princess' or 'spoiled,' as I am neither."
Gotti said she's conflicted about outing Agnello, but the gloves are coming off as the feds intensify efforts to seize and sell commercial properties he owned to satisfy an $8.7 million debt to the government. She's back in federal court today for legal arguments. In the divorce judgment, Agnello authorized Gotti to collect rent on the properties.
Agnello's lawyer refused to comment.
Gotti insists the tenants have refused to pay her, but she wouldn't say who she thinks is getting the rent money.
Asked whether Agnello would get away with ignoring his family obligations if her father was alive, Gotti said, "I would bet the farm [he wouldn't]."
"He always tried to impress my father about a house he was buying, or a property or a brand new car," she said. "It was always to let my father think he was a sport."
Agnello, 47, who was released from prison last month after serving nine years for racketeering, once operated a car shredding business worth millions and will be successful again, Gotti predicted.
"My father used to say, 'Give him a 10-dollar bill, come back and he'll turn it into $100.'"
