TikToks Offensive new trend? | the Mob Wife trend taking over social media 

People changing personalities based on trends is 😵‍💫 disturbing

Mafia/mob bosses are also romanticized in Gen Z literature. The mafia dissolves people in acid. It's NOT cute.

They could have just called it "Jersey girl aesthetic" or "Bold girl aesthetic" there was no need to romanticis someone else's pain.

Fran Fine didn‘t want to be a mob wife, so I don‘t wanna be one either.

"She may be a mob wife, but she still drinks from a Stanley cup" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My Ex is Sicillian American, his dad was a "business man" in NJ and we side eye and cackle at this trend. Ive met the families and seen the women they are emulating. Most women are flashy and always in glam because they had no choice, they were expected to look beautiful and successful as they are a direct reflection of her husband and HIS success. Alot of this trend is rooted in misogyny and violence and its not great to minimize it into a micro trend. Just my 2 pennies.

It means raising your kids alone , taking care of the house alone , sitting at home alone because your hubby is in prison , or in another woman's bed , ir on vacay with his other family !!!!!!

"She's a Mob Wife but She still Drinks From a Stanley Cup" Robert's Shade is so sneaky yet BAM 💥 its in your face lmao 😭

I remember this story (I'm Italian) that made it to the news. This mod guy was a mafia kid, he fell in love with a normal girl, he harassed her DAILY and eventually proposed to her but she didn't want to be in a relationship with this guy (obvously) since she was also in love with another man. Because in italy at the time we had the law of the "matrimonio riparatore" (=the repair marriage) he r@ped this woman and proposed to her. Because of this law, after SA, a woman was forced to marry the guy who r@ped her in order to save face in front of the society of the time and her own family. She absolutely refused and took things to court (what. a. absolute. QUEEN.) and eventually this court case made the law of the "matrimonio riparatore" illegal. I don't remember the name of the girl but she's an absolute italian legend and made history. I wanted to tell this story because maybe another girl went through all of this and became a mob wife against her will. It's absolutely NOT all glitz and glam. This is a serious topic and deserves to be treated seriously.

I’ve been a fan of the glamour aesthetic, even during that time when everyone wanted to be a “clean girl”. But TikTokers calling it “mob wife aesthetic” is super weird to me. Like you can embrace the big hair, bold makeup, big jewelry, and fur coats without romanticizing the mafia.

I love not having tiktok. I've never had tiktok. I get all the tiktok news I need from Robert. He encourages me to stay well clear

I used to watch Mob Wives, and the stress and pain those women go through is insane!

reminds me of people romanticising serial killers. it shows a lack of understanding of how serious organised crime is. equating it to italian-american cultural touchpoints is just bizarre.

"Your husband does crime stuff and you look rich" HILARIOUS! 💀 XX

"hailey bieber kit kat eyebrows" LMFAOOOOOOOO

There is a distinct difference between Italian culture and Italian American culture. As someone who is Italian American and grew up in Queens and Long Island, “mob” and “mob wives” aesthetic is just the norm. We’ve all been donning big hair, heavy makeup, spray tans, leather, black, and leopard for our whole lives. It’s gaudy, it’s fun, it’s kind of tacky but in the best glamorous way possible. I now live in Florida, and I always stick out like a sore thumb because I took my “mob wife” aesthetic that I’ve been doing my whole life with me. But I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

Mob Wife Aesthetic is more a Jersey New York thing than Italian. I'm a Jersey white girl and there's lots of mob wife aesthetic from all kinds of Jersey girls.

I hate TikTok… it’s completely ruined originality and turned life into permanent high school. It’s like everyone holds their breath to see what the next big trend is going to be by the famous influencer so we can all run out and over spend to fit in. It’s like everyone obsessing with the mean popular girl.

When my family lived in Sicily while I was growing up my Dad had to deal with the mob bosses outside of the air station. It was scary and it’s nothing to be glamorized.

That coat look AMAZING and perfect for this video, also the Makeup!! The Brow!! Love it!! 🙌 I have slowly noticed fur coats, french tips, animal prints coming back for women over 45, I know people just label everything on TikTok but the women I know that are doing this ‘trend’ have no idea they are doing this ‘trend’ but I just think people are having fun with makeup that they know (2016 makeup is coming back too) and clothes that they hadn’t worn for a long time because of covid, I think the ‘clean girl’ look worked because we actually wanted to ‘be clean’ because of covid but with covid mindset gone people want to express themselves!

Words: blood money Also: Most mob wives cannot choose not to be a mob wife.

People need to find their own style. Everyone looks the same! Its giving Regina George from mean girls. "She wore army pants and flip flops so i wore army pants and flip flops". EW.

I grew up outside of Dallas, Texas . That big hair, over the top, pageant Queen aesthetic was just a regular Tuesday at the Piggly Wiggly here.

Painting your scar is everything to me. Taking something I already think is beautiful (scars) and putting it out there like bam bitch! I LOVE IT!

So the aesthetic of Mob Wives is basically New Jersey fashion mostly popularized by Italian American descendants in the 2000s. Basically animal print, leather, fur coat, sunglasses, and big hair.

I'm dying over the eye look, the highlighted scar, and the jacket!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

I always just assumed that the mob wife aesthetic built on the Russian mob wives not the Italian, as the fur coats are widely popular as a status symbol especially in russia where you you actually need them to stay warm and look good. Same with the red lipstick specifically the good old soviet red shade.

i was just talking to my friend about mob wife and how I dont agree with it because alot of women of criminals end up getting killed by their own husbands, getting beaten up, abused emotionally and physically.. its glamorizing something so truamatic

I’m 61 years old. I guess I have been doing “Mob Wife” since my mid 20’s. Yep, vintage leather jacket, mid length skirt or slacks, high heels, big sunglasses, Texas big hair, full face makeup, big chunky gold jewelry. Who knew I had been in style all this time. Lol

🖤💜🖤 Serving us “sexy villain realness” today (also ‘KitKat eyebrows’ took me out ‘cos some people do be looking like they drew them on with a bar of chocolate)

My Aunt’s husbands family were hit men for the mob. It was the family business. My Uncle didn’t want to follow the family business yet had to work for the mob. He ran a limousine service and the mob would use the limos whenever they wanted. His only rule was they had to return them in the same shape they were in when they borrowed them. The limos would be returned with all brand new interiors and new paint jobs because they had executed someone in the car 😂 Truth is stranger than fiction y’all and this was the truth. Mob life in New York and New Jersey was the real deal

“They only eat foods in season” girl that’s how fruit/vegetables work

She may be a mob wife but she still drinks from a Stanley cup 💀

Not Robert still peeved by those Stanley Cups 😂😂😂

Its like that time when in 2021-22 alt fashion was all around and suddenly everyone switched in 2023 to the "clean girl" aesthetic

TikTok is real shallow on another level. I’ve never had it and never will.

Something similar happens with cartel wives and the way they show off on social media. They glamorize a lifestyle given to them by their husbands crimes.

“mafia aesthetics” are so disgusting to me. i’ve had relatives get mixed up in that kind of stuff and tragically they’ve lost their lives due to it, and then to go to a store and seeing books about “mafia boyfriends”?? it’s repulsive honestly. the mafia isn’t something to romanticize, it’s not glamorous, it’s not fun, it just causes pain for every poor person involved

Totally unrelated to the trend, but I love how your eyeshadow is giving "subtle lesbian flag" and now I wanna try something similar with other flags at home! ty for sharing your art with us!

I always love it when Robert uses liner on his scar. It looks so cool. I am mad that my scar isn't prominent enough to pull this off 😭

i relate to the girl who spoke about her sicilian experience. my polish grandma made sure all her kids and grandkids, male and female, knew how to cook and bake. basic care of yourself wasnt gendered. my grandpa died when i was young so i dont remember much about him. i remember playing with him. i remember waiting as he got ready so we could go for walks and pick up my sister from school. girls worked on farms and in factories. my grandpa did fiber crafts. you did what was needed to feed, cloth, shelter your family. it wasnt gendered.

I think people are much confusing Italian culture, Italian-American culture, the 1950s, the 1980s, and television presenting all these things Edit: and the 1800s as well

In Serbia, we have the mob wife, Ceca…she is the wife of the killed gangster called Arkan, she lives in a huge mansion…she is a popular singer, and her style is still insanely popular among the girls 🤣

So many people suffered from the mob in Italy, were killed. This trend is offending.

it's funny they specify faux fur bc most mob spouses i know/have seen if they wear a fur coat you better believe it's not faux 😀 and not caring about animal lives is nothing compared to what mobs do to humans. it's not faux fur ethically sourced garments and tiktokking stanley cups 😂 i'm glad i got off TT, And thank you Robert for keeping us non-tiktokkers in the loop. Good video and good commentary👏

"She may be a mob wife but she still drinks from a Stanley Cup" I'm dead! you're too funny Robert!

Hey Robert, I absolutely love watching your videos and I just watched an older one where you're doing a tutorial and how much you like making them but nobody watches. I LOVE,LOVE watching tutorials and I'm not the only one. Please,please,please do more. I love your makeup style!! Thanks, love your videos ❤

Omg I’m obsessed with your eye makeup! The pink eyebrow is giving!

This is hysterical! I actually grew up with real mobsters as my neighbors back in the 80's. In fact, i had a couple of friends whose fathers owned,"Cement Trucking Companies." Yeah, we all knew it was a cover. 😂 But these were legit mobsters. These trends are insane.

"SHE MAY BE A MOB WIFE, BUT SHE STILL DRINKS FROM A STANLEY CUP" 🗣🗣🗣

"Hailey Bieber Kit kat eyebrows" I'M WEAK 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is honestly why I won't get a tiktok. It's so saturated with children being "influencers" even though they know next to nothing about what they're talking about. It's so obnoxious.

My fiance was the one who told me about this trend lol he said "look, it's you with the animal print jackets and hair". Anyaays, I'm about over these niche trends. They contribute to unoriginalality and having to buy a whole new wardrobe, and basically change yourself for what's popular. I guess it's always been that way but i feel like social media has turned it into, as you mentioned, cosplay in a way. Over it!

My new trend is watching every video Robert does. 😂❤

I am SO GLAD you brought up the Pink Honey drama. Would love for you to talk more about this!!

Not me walking about with faux fur coats, big hair and lots of make up and big earring seeing this thinking ah well now the young team might think I’m cool now 😂 x

I think people should get off tiktok, get their own style and minds and stop giving a hoot about what next big company or media or rich person deems trending, viral or important.

As an American with an Italian background, and a Chicago resident who after all these years we still hear about Al Capone, which is nothing to boast about, I find it to be insulting to American/Italians and TIKTOK Influencers who like this look are stupid and don’t live in reality.

I am OBSESSED with your eyeshadow look. It is stunning!

The pink scar is serving looks!!!! 🔥 love you so much!!

I'm sorry but the audacity you have to look so amazing. The makeup, the COAT! 10/10

Love the pink swoop in the eyebrow.

First I heard the term “mob wife look” (the video wasn’t subtitles) I genuinely thought they said “mogwai look”. And it didn’t surprise me in the least that people were apparently starting to dress up as Gremlins.

I also find it funny how Americans who have heritage from Italy but have grown up with an Americanized bastardization of Italian culture from 50+ years ago is trying to tell others what is Italian and not. Plus, it's quite insulting to Italians to call "mobs" Italian culture. Anyone in Italy or with actual ties to Italians knows that they despise the mobs and that they're the cause for a lot of hardships and insecurity in the country.

“She maybe a mob wife, but she still drinks from a Stanley cup” is WILD😂

I'm so glad I'm not on TikTok, but I do appreciate Robert filling me in on what's going on!

OMG I'm so distracted (in the best way) with how you've done your eyebrow scar! It's glorious! 😍

As someone who briefly dated a guy who was mafia it's NOT fun and should NEVER be romanticised.

Ask Adrianna from the Sopranos if being a mob wife was fun 💁🏻‍♀️

OVE the way you've turned the little area on your eyebrow into a little bit of flash! Well done, Robert!

Your makeup is beyond amazing!! 😍🤩🩷

I dont do trends at 52...i am just me...i wear minimal natural make up and have all one length hair that is waist length.idc who does what but im going to ALWAYS just be me...thats my old and new trend...and you Robert are a whole vibe and trend❤❤❤

I am just happy that most likely, at least in the Northern hemisphere, it's gonna be over as soon as the weather starts getting warmer...hard to wear faux fur in 35 C degrees heat lol

Just had to rewatch this as when I first watched it I was in hospital still coming round from general anaesthetic (nothing worrying lol just a small surgery) so I barely remembered it. Glad I rewatched, loving this new channel.

Your content on both pages is really hitting it recently love it ⭐⭐⭐

LMAO "this video will be irrelevant soon" 🤣

I love your eyebrow make up! It reminds me of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is mended and the cracks are coated with gold!

Robert this makeup and outfit have me GAGGED omg its so good

Your makeup is incredible here! Love the color in the eyebrow!!

Robert looks very fierce today! I love this entire look! Is THIS “mob wives?” 😂

The mob "aesthetic" has actually been on tiktok for yearss, there were (or still are idk) even creators whose entire profile and content was based around acting, dressing, and walking (yes walking lol) like a "mob" boss. Some of these creators would even rent like a castle together to film aesthetic "mob" content together....

I just took this as people emulating Sofia Vegara's new mob wife character in the same way that everyone dressed in pink for Barbie. I'm surprised the show wasn't mentioned because I feel like it's what kicked off this trend

you absolutely served with this look robert 💕

Not me washing a knock off Stanley cup as you mention Kirsty next door 🙈😂

We did this briefly back when Sopranos came out, and it is one trend that should never have returned.

LOVE the fur coat ... and the eyebrow accent!!!🖤🖤🖤

The news anchors “Yup that’s true” “Mhmmm” 🤣🤣🤣

In regards to the trends being completely different from each other, I've noticed that too. When people were tired of the overly contoured glam looks from 2016, they moved onto more colorful looks with the heavy blush and thick eyeliner. Then they moved onto a pseudo-natural direction with the feather brows and clean girl aesthetic. And I guess people want bold make-up again.

If there's no Big Ang moment I'm going to riot! RIP Big Ang!

Thank you so much for touching on the real issues here. Love you for it.

Robert, I just love what you do to your scar❤ keep doing it❣️

So they finally moved on from the Chicanas and cholas? People can do their makeup and blah blah blah however they want but they don't want to recognize or respect the hardships that go along with the lifestyles they're mimicking. And that's the issue here. It's offensive because people will hop on trends that imitate people and cultures that are otherwise mocked. We've seen this recently with "Hot Cheeto Girls" "Cholas" "Chongas" and "Guidettes" and I'm sure more but I've been off social media for a while.

I'm so glad that I'm already an old and grumpy millennial and I can absolutely not give a quack about trends or any people telling me what biscuits I need in my pantry to claim a mob wife aesthetics. Like fr catching up with TikTok seems absolutely mentally exhausting, and all I need from social media is just another video from any Welsh twin and I'm good. Life is great 💜🖤

Never gone on to TikTok, nor followed their trends. It’s too much…the changes, the desire for internet fame…

What they are calling “Mob Wives” aesthetic…. Is kinda just how we mostly dress in New Jersey 🤷‍♀️

That eye make up is absolutely stunning.

I think what they’re trying to achieve is a Femme Fatale aesthetic

I adore when you paint your eyebrow scar 🔥🖤

I am American, and I love your show! I am in my 50's and I noticed over all of time, a goal certain women (who are deemed good-looking) strived for was to look wealthy and beautiful without working. Even though the world changed, I think this is embedded in many women's psychological makeup.

I follow the trendiest trend of all trends and that's being myself, myself aesthetic is always on point
