“Mob Wives” star Renee Graziano revealed she nearly “died in a restaurant” last year after overdosing on fentanyl.

The reality star, 55, said she was hospitalized for more than a week and had to learn how to walk again after the harrowing incident.

“Everything in my life was falling apart,” she recalled in a preview of Wednesday’s episode of the “Dumb Blonde” podcast, obtained by TMZ.

“Nobody wanted to talk to me. … Everything just started piling up,” she told host Bunnie XO. “I gave up.”

Graziano explained that “someone gave [her] a bag of fentanyl” in September 2023 “when it was supposed to be cocaine.”

“I died in a restaurant in Florida. I was dead,” she shared. “I was intubated for three days. … And I spent nine days [in the hospital], learning how to walk again.”

The “Celebrity Big Brother UK” alum said she does not “remember anything” from the beginning of her hospitalization, adding, “Three days are wiped from my brain.”

While Graziano shared that “no one” in her family visited her at the hospital, she does not blame them because she admittedly has “put them through hell.”

TMZ reported that she subsequently entered a treatment facility and got sober.
