Philly 'Mob Wives' star reportedly quits show

The New York Daily News reports that Alicia DiMichele, the Philly-based member of VH1's "Mob Wives," is leaving the show.

I called up VH1 and they said they had no comment about DiMichele at this time, but DiMichele has been retweet well-wishers praising her decision.

In addition, DiMichele withdrew her guilty plea of embezzling funds from Big R Trucking, the company she once co-owned with hubs Edward "Tall Guy" Garofalo Jr. A source told the other Daily News that DiMichele quit the show three weeks ago in order to improve her image in court. She was reportedly making $8,000 an episode. DiMichele would not dicuss the matter yesterday at a court hearing.

When I called DiMichele's Addiction Boutique (1713 South 12th St.), the woman who picked up the phone politely told me that they were not allowed to comment on DiMichele.
