Who is Natalie DiDonato’s mom Denise Fuoco?
THE FAMILY of missing Mob Wives star Natalie DiDonato have spoken out about her sudden disappearance.
DiDonato is best known for featuring in the fifth season of the hit reality show and was reported missing after missing two different flights back home.
The 44-year-old actress had been in Philadelphia and was due to fly back home to Florida but she never returned.
Her concerned family filed a police report on January 22, 2025, weeks after missing her scheduled flight on January 5.
Natalie’s mom Denise Fuoco has since revealed to TMZ that she last spoke to her daughter on FaceTime around January 14.
It was this call that sparked fears for the Mob Wives star, with her mom saying their conversation was “brief” and that her daughter seemed to be “rushed off the phone.”
Natalie never revealed her location while on the phone to Denise.
But her mother said she appeared “nervous and distressed” and that she was not sure if her daughter was alone.
Denise has said that she has repeatedly tried to get in touch with Natalie but has not been successful.
She added that her daughter “had not been right for the past month” and has been “distant” but said that she does not know the reasons why.
The mom, said she is worried sick for her daughter.
She claimed that on January 21, Natalie’s friend Ben had told her Natalie had contacted him from Las Vegas.
Natalie had reportedly “reached out to him for help getting back home to Florida.”
Ben claimed to have been contacted by Natalie four days earlier around January 17 on Whatsapp.
The realtor was reportedly “distressed” and had asked him for money to book a flight home.
Ben claims he bought her a ticket but that she never boarded the flight.
He contacted police in Las Vegas to file the missing persons report.
It is thought that he is the last known person to have had contact with the Mob Wives star.
She has not publicly posted on Instagram since last month when she celebrated her birthday.
Natalie is the cousin of dead mobster Frankie “Flowers” D’Alfonso who was part of the Philadelphia crime family also known as the Bruno-Scarfo crime family.
