People Call Me A Rat? | The Truth Revealed | Sitdown with Michael Franzese

Күн бұрын

Living in the public eye on platforms like KZfaq and social media brings both support and criticism. Coming from a background in the mob, I've understood that people will have their issues. I respect opinions as long as they don't cause harm. Unfortunately, social media is rife with misinformation, and today, I want to address some questions that my loyal followers have been asking. I've dealt with misinformation before, and I believe it's crucial to clarify the truth. Stay tuned as I shed light on certain events from 30 years ago, specifically addressing allegations and my cooperation with the government. It's a complex story, and I invite you to join me as I lay out the facts and supporting evidence.

Jealousy is a terrible thing . Normally it's a trait of the females , but modern day guys testicles are shrinking and they lack self respect . If a guy drives a fancy car got the beautiful gal and a good life , then maybe get your arse out of bed and do something about it instead of acting like a girl

Just because someone dresses up nice and talks with proper english and says they didnt do something doesnt mean that they didn't, that just makes you naive. You have to kill someone to be a made guy. Your little buddy here has killed more than a few times. Wake tf up and stop believing what this compulsive liar has to say. Research is out there.

Michael obviously this is bothering you I assume since you feel the need to explain this over and over again. I think with Gods help and your family you have had a good life. You were in a life that you felt the need obviously to get into to help your father from what you explained many times you left school and went into the life . I think you didn't plan to get into to. People can say what they want especially now with social media 24 hours a day 7 days a week that everyone hides behind. All I have to say is what people call you on the street on social media is not important its what your family thinks of you and people close to you.You seem to be a good Husband and father. I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy Blessed New Year. God Bless you and your family. Hope to be able to watch and listen to you for many years.

I hate social media and Michael you're a mans MAN your content is GOLDEN and no need to even explain yourself to these idiots they'd never be able to walk in your shoes.

Good morning Mr. Franzese, Thanks to the Lord for these days. Lets keep praying for Israel and the rest of the world.

Hey out of all people, you are the one that doesn’t need to explain anything. Many rats that are on KZfaq actually damaged generations of family and friends lives. You didn’t . They could never walk in your shoes un - holy and not good guys , also were not in the game. Michael was playing the game and he played it formidably everybody should take account and learn from him , being honest he successfully got out the life alive and a changed man ! I know what I’m talking about and I’m serious as a heart attack!! Michael is a gentleman and honest person not afraid to tell the truth! Michael didn’t put away friends or family . Bottom line ! You are good in my book ! Still a G ! Respect 🫡 any one got a problem with this see me !

Michael, you lived and are living your life for you and family. You have life lessons that are needed for the youth of today. We all live our lives to learn and grow from both the wrongs and rights we go through. God is with you no matter how you live. Wish I had the skills with to communicate directly, only use e-mail when corresponding.

I don’t even think after this you need to revisit this again. Anyone who says this about you is either guilty of something themselves or just trying to tear you down or both. ❤
