Michael Franzese addressed disparaging remarks made by Gene Borrello, a former enforcer for the Bonanno family. Borrello admitted on VladTV that his comments were meant to stir controversy and gain attention, describing it as a "trick" to target prominent figures in the mob world. Borrello, who was born the same year Franzese went to prison, acknowledged that his actions were immature attempts at notoriety.

Franzese, who has transitioned to a media career, explained his understanding of social media dynamics, acknowledging that he often invites individuals who have criticized him onto his show. Highlighting his forgiving nature, Franzese stated that while he's generally tolerant, remarks about his family cross a line. He confessed that while the social media landscape inherently invites conflict, only deeply personal attacks would unsettle him.
