Who is Frank Gotti Agnello?
Frank Gotti Agnello is a reality TV personality and the youngest son of Victoria Gotti and Carmine Agnello, and the grandson of infamous mobster John Gotti. Born on April 12, 1990, in Long Island, New York, Frank grew up under the public spotlight, notably appearing on the reality television show Growing Up Gotti from 2004 to 2005.
‘Growing Up Gotti’
Frank was thrust into fame when his family was featured in Growing Up Gotti, a reality series that showcased the personal and professional life of his mother, Victoria Gotti, while she raised her three sons. Frank and his brothers, Carmine and John, were affectionately dubbed the “Hottie Gottis” by the media, capturing the attention of millions of viewers. The show portrayed the typical sibling dynamics of the brothers—occasional conflicts with each other and their mother, but also a sense of deep family loyalty.
Before achieving TV fame, Frank struggled with weight issues. He successfully lost 80 pounds, an achievement he documented in his 2005 book, The Gotti Diet. In the book, he opens up about the challenges he faced, including being teased for his weight by peers and even his brothers.
Recent Work and Controversies
Since the show ended, Frank has pursued various ventures. He appeared on the celebrity singing competition But Can They Sing? and later opened a tanning business, Gotti Tans, in Huntington, New York. He also expressed plans to study business management in college.
However, in November 2006, Frank faced legal trouble. He was arrested for drug possession after being pulled over by police for a traffic violation. Marijuana, OxyContin, and morphine pills were found in his car, and he was charged with misdemeanors, further complicated by driving without a license.
Frank now co-owns an auto parts business with his brothers, which was the subject of a federal raid in 2016 as part of an ongoing investigation.
