Top 10 Likely Reasons Love's Leaving 'Mob Wives'
Well, Love Majewski is no longer on "Mob Wives," it seems. Unless there is an elaborate hoax going on, the season three finale is Love's swan song on the show.
She's been fired and based on tweets I have seen flowing on Twitter from the lady herself it would seem there is some sort of non-disclosure agreement which would prevent her from discussing too much about the split publicly... Still, this has become a social media event, as has so much of "Mob Wives"...

The big question is, why is she gone? I don't know why -- but I could guess. It could be as obvious as some of us think, or not. But based on my 20 years of experience in corporate America, I can say it is likely one of the following reasons:
1. She pissed the wrong person off on a personal level and was fired -- who she could've pissed off could be someone behind the scenes we have never heard of, and not necessarily Jennifer Graziano; VH1, I believe, owns the show, so there are lots of other egos involved in this (check out a great film called Overnight -- about a "Quentin Tarantino-type" in the making, who blew it with his own big mouth and super ego);

2. She pissed off one or more of the cast members, who then put pressure on someone behind the scenes with the bespoke power to fire. Carla is most likely the one to raise a holler about Love here, as apparently there is an altercation between the two on tonight's finale, which involves the police. But remember, this episode was filmed earlier -- how much earlier, I don't know. But it's not like we are watching the show in real time... Use this as your benchmark: When was Hurricane Sandy, and when did the episode in which Sandy struck air -- meaning, play on TV? That is the time lag... I'd say Sandy would give us a pretty good benchmark for the size of the time shift between filming and airing;
3. The producers, again not necessarily Jenn, because despite what Love tweeted, VH1 owns the show and is the distributor and wouldn't allow one of the production companies to fire a lead without approval. Approval may have been sought, or the network maybe gave the order -- as we all know on this blog, the boss gives the orders, quietly, and you don't always know who the boss is;

4. Closely related to no. 3 above, there is a strong wave of disgust in this country for violence; look at all the mass shootings going on -- seemingly one a week for a while. Look at the Jodi Arias trial... perhaps Love's constant reiterating that she poisoned, shot and stabbed former beaus backfired on her. Her attempts to be too "gangsta" got her tossed out;
5. A contract dispute? Maybe Love was looking for a little more ooh-la-la than anyone wanted to pay her;
6. Maybe the fans didn't like her all that much? I know another blog is claiming she was a big success with the fans, but on what is this based? A small cadre of like-minded FaceBook friends? If you don't think these networks hold focus groups with rating cards, or that blogs with substantial followings don't run polls, you're not familiar with how the business works. If the viewership was down, and there was a whiff in the air that it was due to Love, then bye-bye, birdie;
7. Love's story never really firmed up. First she is crying over Ray Merrole implanting his sperm in the belly of another -- and Love acts like they have been in a constant state of love since the1990s "Gone in 60 Seconds" days (more on that, believe you me). Then this dude "Fate" appears, dude look like he stepped out of a time machine. Wonder what his real name is so I could look him up in my library. Or maybe he's just some dude she met recently and got him to play a role for her... This was a problem with Mob Wives Chicago -- a lot of the stories never gelled, and we just had trouble makers shooting their mouths off....And has Fate shown a hair on his ass since that one episode he appeared in? I don't know -- and don't care enough to research it;
8. Love is a little nuts, which could've turned off everybody/anybody -- there is a difference between being a gangster and acting like you have ties to one. Now, I know that a lot of these women are quick to toss out threats on the show, but usually the hostility is contained -- usually it is probably scripted, as well. Remember Carla/Renee in the first episode? I say that was part of the story line -- it was a dramatic way to send Renee off to rehab, and if Carla was wrong, why would Renee have gone to rehab? As I said, if Carla's shrieking "Junky" is what it took, then Carla SAVED Renee. If you know anything about drug addiction, you can't disagree that Carla likely saved Renee's life, so long as Renee doesn't backslide... Love, on the other hand, is a wild card, a woman clearly with issues and the violent temper to go with them... She nearly bashed one of Ramona's friends last week for no reason (outside of her own mind). And tonight we will probably see her and Carla get bloodied up. How many other "Mob Wives" has she tangled with? She was pissed at Ramona for not telling her about her pathetic wedding plans. She is pissed at Carla, of course, and apparently they never even met, although it is possible they did, according to Love. Love seems to think every other woman on the show -- almost -- is mad at her for screwing their boyfriend or what-not. Interestingly, Love also said one reason she was brought on the show was because all the other women mentioned her a lot -- but it was cut out of episodes from previous seasons. Based on how Love fits in with the rest of the cast, I find this highly unlikely, which brings us to:
9. Love is a bullshitter; she used the story that her and Ray's life in crime was the basis for the film "Gone in Sixty Seconds," then one blogger discovered the 1990s film with Angelina Jolie was actually based on a classic 1970s grindhouse film. The story doesn't make sense, luv. And who knows how many other "stories" were told. She even told one blogger that it was not true; she was not on "Mob Wives;
10. There could be a scandal out there that we know nothing about; something that has yet to break -- something I can't even begin to imagine, but I am sure if there is something, we will read lots about it. In due time...
But to be honest, the timing of the breaking news makes two things clear -- possibly (this is all a guessing game, I admit that)... the timing of the news of Love's departure is fortuitous in that it came right before the last episode of the season; and two, I am really thinking "contract dispute."
I also keep thinking of the other announced new cast member of "Mob Wives." Remember that announcement by Jenn? I am betting this person filmed part or all of season three -- and was cut out in the editing, which makes you think -- it sure is easy for "Mob Wives" to get rid of you if they want. Maybe some of the ladies have taken a page from their fathers, brothers or ex-husbands or boyfriends...
OK -- your turn... any of you out there have any input to dole out? You could do it anonymously, don't worry!
