Mob daughter and one-time reality TV mom Victoria Gotti slammed her son’s girlfriend for telling cops he punched, kicked and choked her at the family’s Long Island home, police sources told The Post.
“You’re a rat,” the matriarch told Carmine Gotti Agnello’s girlfriend Ariana Puran, according to the sources. “Wait until Uncle John hears about this.”
Uncle John is Victoria Gotti’s brother, John “Junior” Gotti, who was acting boss of the Gambino crime family after their father, John Gotti, was sent to prison on murder and racketeering charges in 1992. The elder Gotti died of throat cancer in 2002 at age 61.
Agnello allegedly began pushing and shoving the victim and then followed her outside where he slapped and punched her in the face before choking her, police said.
The alleged abuse happened around 10 p.m. Tuesday at Victoria Gotti’s house in East Norwich, Nassau County, when Agnello flew into a jealous rage because he thought Puran was cheating on him, the sources said.
He also allegedly pushed her to the ground and kicked her, causing bruising and swelling, according to police sources.
He threw her iPhone 17 Pro Max on the ground, where it shattered, police said. The phone is worth about $2,000.
The victim then got into her vehicle, drove away and reported the incident to cops, according to the sources.
Police, looking for Agnello, went to his mom’s house on Wednesday but didn’t find him.
The victim called detectives later that day and said she wanted to drop the charges but whispered into the phone, “He’s here right now,” the sources said.
That call sent detectives rushing back to Gotti’s home, where Agnello’s black Mercedes-Benz was in the driveway.
The victim came out of the home first and Agnello’s lawyer arrived later and escorted him out, the sources said.
He was charged with criminal mischief, criminal obstruction of breathing and third-degree assault, according to court documents. He was released without bail.
Reached by phone on Friday, Puran told The Post she had decided against pursuing a case against Agnello.
“I’m not filing charges against Carmine,” she said. Asked why, she said “because it was a small fight.”
Puran is a lawyer at Mulholland Minion Davey McNiff & Beyer, according to her LinkedIn.
Agnello pleaded guilty in April to lying to obtain COVID relief funds and illegally banking about $1 million. He used the money to invest in cryptocurrency, prosecutors said.
He was sentenced to 15 months in prison and is due to surrender June 12 to serve his sentence.
Agnello’s lawyer didn’t return a call seeking comment.
