The VH1 star also shared the heartbreaking reason behind her family not visiting the hospital.

"They said I wasn't going to make it and my family didn't want to, they just couldn't do it," Graziano recalled.

Then, Bunnie XO asked if the family didn't come because "they just had enough."

"I don't blame them. I don't. I've put them through hell. Hell, I put them though," Graziano said.
