In 2013, Karagiorgis filed a lawsuit following a brawl that took place at the opening of cast member Kim D’s store, Porsche 2. At the party, Karagiorgis was approached by Joe Gorga and asked about remarks Karagiorgis made about his wife, Melissa.
Things have been difficult for Drossos Karagiorgis. In February, she lost her friend and fellow reality TV star, Big Ang.
My heart breaks for the loss of Big Ang God has gained an angel. May God give her family the strength they need at this time🙏🏻
