Gabriella Vigorito is taking center stage on sMothered – quite literally. The 23-year-old is a pageant queen and model but fans are eager to see more from her “blunt” sisters on the show. Viewers liken Gabriella and her mom, Catherine, as being “twins” but there’s more to the Vigorito family than the mom-daughter duo and their matching outfits.
A brand new season of sMothered arrived on TLC last December. The reality TV show features some new duos as well as returning cast members including Kathy and Cristina Crispino. Ahead of a new episode airing on January 17, Gabriella opted to draw in fans with an iconic scene from Mean Girls.

Gabriella Vigorito’s sisters
sMothered fans are first introduced to Gabriella, 23, and her mom, Catherine, 56, in season 5.
Given how much Catherine wants Gabriella to focus on pageants and their relationship as mother and daughter, some could assume that Gabriella is an only child.
But, it turns out Gabby actually has two sisters, who fans also say “look like twins.”
Lauren and Sophia Vigorito have some fans saying it’s “sad” they’re “not treated the same” as Gabriella, but others think they’re the real “icons” of the TLC show.

sMothered star’s Mean Girls moment
As more sMothered season 5 episodes come out, Gabriella is taking the opportunity to promote the show on her Instagram page.
Taking to the ‘gram on January 16, she mimes the line from Mean Girls “I can’t go out, I’m sick” while wearing a pink tracksuit.
The Clinton, Connecticut gal wrote the words: “When sMothered is on tonight!” over the clip.
Many of her fans commented on the post, writing they’re “addicted” to the series as well as “big fans” of her.

Fans love ‘blunt’ sisters
Gabriella’s two sisters have been dubbed “icons” since appearing on sMothered with her.
Many love how “blunt” they are with her in confessionals and want to see more from Lauren and Sophia.
They said Gabriella “bombed” one of the questions at her pageant last year. She was asked what the “right to bear arms” is which was entertaining for her siblings.
Her mom defended her saying: “It was worded wrong, anyone would get mixed up.”
Gabriella said: “What is the right to bear arms? Because my arms are really hairy. I have the hairiest arms. If this is the right to bear arms, I am not a part of it, because my arms are hairy as hell.”
Her sister laughed: “And that’s why she bombed the question last year.”
