Mob Wives Star, Big Ang Dies At 55

Though her husband was supportive during her initial diagnosis in 2015, even sleeping in a chair in her hospital room with her every night, Ang admitted cancer changed her marriage. She sat down with Dr. Oz and says her husband was no longer supportive at all and was no longer in her life. Her sister Janine Detore stepped up and took her to her doctor’s appointments, and started a GoFundMe page for the star, which earned over $45,000.
