Victoria Gotti In Foreclosure

Here's one celebrity foreclosure that doesn't surprise me at all. Victoria Gotti has been trying to sell her home in Old Westbury, New York for years and we''ve watched the price come tumbling down on the dilapidated manse from $4.4 million to $3.2 million. The NY Post reveals that Ms. Gotti, who first put the home up for sale in 2005 after it was used in the filming of her television show "Growing Up Gotti" is being foreclosed on by JP Morgan Chase. She owes $650,000 in mortgage payments. The bank has said that she owed $25,000 on the house each month but didn't make all the payments.

She's been dancing around foreclosure for a couple of years, in 2007 Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Roy Mahon decided foreclosure proceedings were too early but now the Brooklyn Appellate Division has granted the lender's motion for summary judgment on the foreclosure. The NY Post quotes Ms. Gotti's mother, also named Victoria, who lays the blame at the feet of Victoria Gotti's ex-husband Carmine Agnello who she says took out a mortgage behind her back. The listing pics reveal that Ms. Gotti hasn't spent much money on repairs so I'm not sure how much money the bank will get for this home.

UPDATE: Ms. Gotti has vowed to fight foreclosure and keep her home. A bit surprising considering how long she's been trying to unload it.
