Drita D'Avanzo (née Selmani; born February 6, 1976) is an American reality star who appeared on the VH1 series Mob Wives from 2011 to 2016. She also appeared on Mob Wives spinoff Big Ang.
D'Avanzo has worked for several upscale cosmetic companies as a freelance makeup artist and has launched her own cosmetics line called "Lady Boss by Drita".[6]
She and her husband Lee D'Avanzo, who federal prosecutors allege is the leader of the Bonanno and Colombo crime family farm team, were arrested on December 19, 2019; they were charged with criminal drug and multiple firearms possession after a search warrant was executed on their home.[7] The firearms were a .38-caliber revolver and a 9 mm, both loaded with hollow-point bullets. On February 21, 2020, the charges against her were dropped, while Lee pleaded not guilty to gun possession charges.[8] On March 20, 2020, Lee pleaded guilty to the charge.[9] On 7 August 2020, D'Avanzo was sentenced to 64 months (5-1/3 years) in prison for the offenses.[10] In sentencing him, the judge cited his extensive criminal history, which entails six convictions. He is currently incarcerated at FCI McKean, a medium security Federal prison located in Lewis Run, Pennsylvania. As of May 2021, he is 52 years old. His scheduled release date is 14 July 2024.[11]
