A couple of months ago news leaked that the wives, fianceé’s and girlfriends of “The Black Mafia Family,” a Detroit-based drug trafficking organization that operated between the 1980’s and the mid 2000’s, were shopping around a reality show called BMF Wives. Before you get ready to whip up a petition, there has been no word on whether or not a network has picked up the show. A few of the ladies did, however, make an appearance on The Ricki Lake Show for an episode titled, “Prison Wives,” which aired today. An excerpt taken from the episode’s description, found on the show’s website reads:
“Ricki first speaks with women attached to members of “The Black Mafia Family” (aka, the BMF), a notorious American drug ring. Two years ago, Janell began dating ‘Big Meech,’ (co-founder of the BMF) and lived a glamorous lifestyle until it imploded when he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for drug-trafficking and money laundering. Despite his conviction, Janell is standing by her man and plans to marry him when he is released in 2032.
Lisa married PJ, another member of the BMF, whose life also came crashing down after his conviction. Suffering from depression, she has decided to divorce and move on with her life.
Toni was not only married to a convicted member of the BMF, she also served four years in prison on a money laundering charge.”
