'Mob Wives' season 5 reunion news: Alicia DiMichele reacts to the reunion, Renee Graziano urges Bravo to let Alicia back on show

As "Mob Wives" Season 5 draws to a close, the women took part in the two-part reunion show with the first part airing last Wednesday. As usual, putting all the women together proved to be chaotic with verbal arguments left and right.

What made the Part 1 of the reunion show more interesting is the mention of Alicia DiMichele, who was also part of the show back in Season 4. Alicia decided not to continue starring on the show because she wanted to clean up her image for the court as she was under a 4-year probation for embezzlement.

Now that she's out of the show's loop, somehow, her name got entangled in the fight between Natalie Guercio and Karen Gravano. When Karen's return became the topic at hand, Natalie was quick to defend herself as to why she has been attacking Karen on social media. She said that she's only sticking up for Alicia because Karen's father ordered to kill Alicia's father-in-law. Renee Graziano, who always sided with Karen against Natalie G, said that it's weird to know that Alicia would be sad about the passing of a man she barely knew.

The next day, Alicia wasted no time in reacting to the statements in the reunion show. She tweeted "Thanks 4 all the Love. My FIL was a wonderful man, I'm very sad that my children and I did not get the pleasure to know him. #LOVE #RESPECT."

She also posted another message via Instagram, saying "My Father in Law was a wonderful man, I'm very sad that my children and I did not get the pleasure to know him. I have way too much Respect for myself and my family to respond to anyone's low level of heartless and classless comments. #Love #Respect #Always#familyovereverything."

Natalie G. has no allies in the show anymore and bringing back Alicia for the next season should make for a good storyline in Season 6. While fans speculate that this could be an attempt to bring back Alicia to the show, Renee could care less about it. In fact, she's urging Bravo to bring back Alicia. Apparently, she believes that Alicia can defend herself without Natalie G. speaking up for her.

"Alica Alica Alica .. Let her please speak 4 herself .. She's got a mouth on her .. She needs no back up!! #bringaliciabackplease" Renee tweeted.

"Mob Wives" Part 2 reunion special will air on March 18.
