MOB Wives star Big Ang’s sister Janine Detore revealed she “would love” to join The Real Housewives of New Jersey to “shut them up” amid their nasty feuds. 

Janine, who appeared on VH1’s Mob Wives alongside her late sister Angela “Big Ang” Raiola, released a book in honor of the star entitled Angel(a): My Sister, Our Friend, Our Big Journey.

In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, she revealed her friendship with Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania.

Janine said: “I told Dolores I would watch it and I do every Tuesday or I record it because we do talk about it. I want her to know that I am watching it. 

“She's a wonderful woman and I'm so glad that she just met Pauley because she really loves him and he treats her wonderfully. He is the main man right now in her life other than her son Frankie.”

Janine said she would “love to” film for the Bravo show.

She said: “I always ask Dolores, ‘Why are they screaming?’ Shut them up. Or take me to a party and I’ll shut them up! Everyone needs to stop!”

JERSEY DRAMA

The current season centers around Teresa Giudice’s feud with her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa.

The family has been arguing over Joe and Melissa not being seated at Teresa and her now-husband Luis Ruelas’ table at their engagement party. 

This comes after Teresa and Melissa fought at the reunion because she refused to make her sister-in-law a bridesmaid at her wedding.

On a recent episode, Teresa attempted to make peace with her brother by inviting him to her housewarming party.

Although he agreed to move forward, he declined her invitation.

Joe and Melissa did not attend Teresa and Luis’ wedding, and the family members are not on speaking terms today. 

Jennifer Aydin has also been feuding with Margaret Josephs, as newcomer Danielle Cabral got into fights with Rachel Fuda and Jackie Goldschnieder. 

REMEMBERING BIG ANG

Janine’s book was released on February 9. 

The fan-favorite Mob Wives star passed away on February 18, 2016, after losing a battle with cancer. 

Janine said of the book: “So the feedback I've been getting from my book is that they feel like I'm taking them through the journey of Angela and my life, which is exactly what I want them to read. 

“A lot of people are saying it's a good read. It's an easy read. They actually feel like they're in the story. Everybody knows how it ends, but it shows the aftermath like with me, the present time. That's the base of the book.

“My sister was very interesting. She's the most interesting in the book, I think… And the most shocking was, you know, her diagnosis and how fast it went.”

Janine was inspired to write the book when she kept going to the doctor because she was “starting to lose her memory.”

She continued: “I started to not realize like what, when, where and how, in my thoughts. After seeing neurologists, my primary care doctor said to me, ‘Buy a black and white notebook and start writing your thoughts down, start writing your memories’ and that's exactly how it started. 

“I just started to write and truthfully, reading what I actually lived made me feel like I went back to that place so I kept feeling my sister, there in the moment.”

“Grief is hard. When I lost my sister, I lost a part of myself. I'm trying to get it back, but I don't know if I'm ever going to get it back.”
