After a brief missing-persons search, Mob Wives cast member Natalie Nat D. DiDonato was found safely in Nevada on Wednesday, according to her mother.
“My daughter has been located,” Denise Fuoco, the mother, said NBC News. “At the moment, she is alright. Our goal is to bring her home.
Late Wednesday afternoon, a representative of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was unavailable for comment. A spokesman earlier in the day verified that DiDonato, who had been reported missing, was being sought by the department.
When Florida resident DiDonato called her mother on Wednesday to let her know she was okay, the worried mother informed the authorities that her daughter was no longer missing or in danger, according to her family.
Family members claimed they had no idea why she had gone missing for a few days.
Fuoco stated, “No, she wasn’t particularly interested in discussing it.” “I didn’t push anything, because I m pretty sure she might hang up.”
According to sister Janae DiDonato, DiDonato was supposed to be in Philadelphia lately before her family found out she was in Las Vegas.
She was in Philadelphia, I discovered. Her plan was to return home to Florida from Philadelphia. “She didn’t board that flight,” the sister told NBC News, adding that late last week, investigators discovered documents showing DiDonato staying at a hotel in Las Vegas.
“After that, we discovered she was in Vegas. Since we didn’t know anyone who was aware that she would be in Vegas, we didn’t think it was real. We were unaware that she had contacts in Vegas.
In Season 5 of Mob Wives, which ran on VH1 from 2011 to 2016, DiDonato, a cousin of the deceased mobster Frank Frankie Flowers D. Alfonso, made an appearance.
On the show, she was frequently referred to as “Nat D”—possibly to set herself apart from Natalie Guercio, another character. On Instagram, Guercio informed followers that she was not the individual who had been reported missing.
Five weeks ago, DiDonato wrote on Instagram that she was content with her weight loss of 10 pounds and that she was pleased to be 44.
“Getting older is a blessing, can t believe I made it this far,” she said. “I m embracing my age because to me it s a badge of honor to have made it to 44.”
