What a raw, down to earth, no bullshit interview! Kudos to you, @Spanian for allowing Roberta to just let her flow with her story and not cut her off or try to project a narrative! Would love to see more of this kind of content from you- not taking away from your other content... love it!❤ Rock on Brother with much love to you🫶🤙
Spanian is in such a unique position to bring out certain stories from the other side of the tracks which other hosts would never be able to initiate or handle properly. This podcast series is shaping into an important gem of untold Aussie history.
She comes across like a very strong and loving lady. This was a great interview, Roberta seemed very honest and transparent. The media polluted her name. I wish her all the best.
Roberta is absolutely a product of Her Upbringing.When she says she had her first baby and She then knew what LOVE WAS I brought a Tear to my Eye.These are the most honest people when you ask them about their lives.Its very confronting,This is what many people have to deal with EVERY DAY
Roberta, as a mother myself, I am so very sorry to hear about what happened with your mother. I cannot understand it either, I'd take a bullet for my child too. I can't imagine the heartache you experienced at such a young age. You didn't deserve that. You deserved a mother that cherished you and loved you unconditionally and I hope you are now that mother to yourself. You seem so balanced and happy which is wonderful. Thankyou Spanian for interviewing Roberta. She's such a strong, courageous, inspiring woman and Mum. I didn't know much about her b4 now except she was Carl William's wife.
"She hit me with an umbrella, I caved her head in" legendary, every episode of this pod just keeps getting better. Spanian just makes people comfortable and knows when to let a story flow
A true gem. Roberta’s trauma, upbringing, life perspective and mumma advice, “let it be a lesson not a loss” is what people need to hear. My perspective on Roberta has completely shifted, what a good egg
It annoys me when people that live a life of crime say "im proud that dhs have never been in my life" when the only reason they didn't get their kids taken was because they had family willing to take care of the kids.
Fuck right off! The reason dhs weren't involved is because her children were well cared for and adequately provided for. Do you honestly think for a minute they wouldn't have tried to take her kids. Children are abused and neglected by people. Different kinds of people from different walks of life with a plethora of excuses.
Roberta is actually quite inspiring! She’s had a tough life and seems like she’s a really good mum. I’m sure ppl will always judge her but I’m glad I got to see this side of her. Only spanian could pull off an interview like that. That’s what makes him the success that he is today. Real. Honest and unapologetic. Loved it
Outstanding interview. My opinion of this women was based upon MSM reporting. I've now done a 180 and admire her resiliance and determination to be a mum
lol her being a mum is irrelevant to all the other shit she did. And taking responsibility and caring for a child you popped out is a pretty low bar mate
@@rowmagnvstbh given that Roberta was abandoned as a child herself, the cycle could have continued but it didn't so I think the bar is a bit higher in her case.
Bruh this is one of my favourite episodes .. I was fixated on it the whole way through. An incredibly strong woman who went through it all and is still standing.
One of the best interviews I have seen with Roberta, you let her speak, and listened ... you didn't corner her like reporters have in the past , , you can see how her eyes light up when she talks about her children, and grandies ❤️ sometimes we have do things that we know aren't right but it's a way to survive at the time and provide the best you can for yourself and your children.,,, and if you've never Been cared for , or Loved and taught as a child then how would one expect you to lead the life of an adult who was💁♀️
Man , Raw interview that I admire seeing Roberta move forward in her life and guide her children. To keep it as simple as possible . Great interview Bro
Spanian, that was a great interview 10/10. Well done. And a fascinating story Roberta has to tell. I’m so sorry she had to endure what she did as a youngster, but you cannot deny she’s a strong mother for her children.
she seems to blame the cops for her problems (even saying its their fault her daughter has mental issues). if she wasn't breaking the law in the first place her kids never would of been in that situation
Roberta is an amazing woman. After watching this, and the small amount of time listening to her speak without a reporter baiting her and antagonising her, making accusations and then expecting a decent interview or "story".. then portraying her as a violent and dangerous person.. makes me so furious. A woman who has been through the worst comes out stronger than anyone who has come up against her, and still holds her head up and loves her kids unconditionally... She deserves so much happiness and success.. the underbelly producers and creators should be held accountable for defamation of her character and the subsequent years of social stigma associated with the show.. why would they not speak to her and get it right!? Great interview, much respect
Sensational interview Spans. I now have the utmost respect and admiration for Roberta especially after hearing of her younger years and the abuse that happened under her Mother's supervision. Full credit to her for turning her life around and putting her family first and stopping the cycle of violence and abuse that happens to often now in so many families.
New respect for Roberta, she sounds like the best mum given the cards she was dealt. I’m sure she would have been a handful back in the days but has a genuinely good heart
Excellent interview, what an awesome person Roberta is. Spanian, you are a gifted communicator and always have interesting subject matter. Love your work!
Mum knew her when she was younger, it’s tuff being a survivor. Tuff women, life’s hard.. Growing up in Seaford & Frankston, it’s definitely rough at times, at the end of the day it’s what we make of lifes struggles. Great episode mate
This interview was just brilliant, I was instantly hooked! Roberta has been to hell and back and is still thriving. I am so keen to read her book after watching this video. Such a brave and inspirational woman and a wonderful mother and nan to her grandchild. Good on you Spanian you made the whole thing seem effortless and engaging, unlike some other podcasts I’ve seen where the hosts interrupt and/or talk over the top of their guests. Thanks Roberta for sharing some of your story. 10/10.
Roberta you are a Queen. Great job for being able to have ANY compassion let alone the amount of love you have. Is a true testament to how amazing you are
Spanian just keeps lifting his game! Every time I think he can’t raise the bar anymore he delivers the goods! Respect from myself and all your fans brother. Keep doing what you’re doing!! 🙏🏼🔥
I love it how you interview people and you just let them go. Your not interrupting them every chance you get to change the narrative and you make it all about them. So many people who interview others are constantly talking over the top or cutting in and usually turn the whole interview into a personal attack on the person to create controversy for views. 🤟
Having made a lot of horrific choices in my life and also loving being a mother and grandma too now, I just wish the interviewer had of asked Roberta, "Would you like your children to live like you and Carl did?" Because I damn well know if I was ever asked that question regarding my criminal husband and myself, my answer would be "hell no!!, never ever...." And I thank God none of them have.
Wow out of such terrible adversity at such a young age. I having nothing but massive respect for Roberta. A no bullshit and honest interview view on her life thank you Roberta/Spanian. Wishing Roberta and family all the very best it’s so deserved.
The last 10 min was therapeutic for Spanian and his need to forget the sins of his past..no need to be sorry..what's done is done...Roberta is solid and genuine as fuck..I get the feeling many a so called Melbourne gangster was scared of her..best Roberta interview I have seen..she has her best years in front of her
Very interesting interview, glad to hear Roberta's insight, life from her perspective. I love to listen to people's experiences and see things how they did Roberta has definitely lived a very tumultuous and fast paced life. From the lowest of lows to the highest points in life, she's endured it all. The underworld of Melbourne is fraught with danger, money, drugs and greed. For her and her children to survive through the hell storm of that, is extraordinary. Respect to Spanian and Mrs Roberta Williams for a great interview👍
Great interview . what her and her kids have been through and endured is unbelievable such a strong woman . She speaks facts no sugar coating well done Roberta keep up your strength 👌🏼
She speaks facts?? Um and what about all the people they killed? They killed 2 people in front of a whole bunch of kids, one of them an innocent man in the wrong place.
14:03 roberta says "i hadn't left my kids before", b7t she had been in Prison more than once leaving her firstborn son. She also says, [authorities] dont realisr the damage theyre doing.... but roberta was the one thatbwas dealing, and subsequently getting arrested and imprisoned and leaving her kids behind (again).
Such a great interview! A small, but revealing insight into who Roberta is outside the conceptions of a TV show. Living and overcoming that 'life' gives you a very clear perspective and wisdom that most will never have. Awesome 👏🏻
Can't agree with her blaming the coppers for kids mental health from the raids / harassment etc, she knew the score from the start, all crooks know the heat is sometimes just around the corner. If she didn't want em giving her and the family grief, she knew she'd have to go straight, but didn't. Ya make ya bed ya sleep in it love.
I wouldn't go as far to say make your bed and sleep in it because we all f up. But you're right it's not rocket science. Can't do illegal things and then cry when the cops come 😭
When my older siblings got us raided by the cops, they didn't have to treat me as an 8 year old like a criminal, telling me you'll be this and you'll be that. Well I sure showed them... Never been in trouble.
Good on you Roberta, god bless you. Most of us are just ghosts now to that life, but it was only yesterday 😉?. Your resilience & strength is admirable. Top interview Spanian👍.
Best interview yet hands down thanks for that I feel so guilty for the image I had about her and the image underbelly put in my head, she is mentor material and such a strong person. Forget councillors and psychologists. She’s done beyond any measures for anyone to understand and healed herself Props to you
I've always felt that Roberta was an amazing human being that got the shit end of the stick and fought back, this interview just goes to show how intelligent and strong she really is. To have lived the life she has and yet be so well spoken and articulate is testimony to her drive to have a proper life, well done, one of my all-time fav interviews, I just wish Carl was still here to tell his side of his story. Well done Spanian !
I read her book and she is inspiring due to being so real and honest about the hardest times most people couldn’t imagine living through Good on her for being so strong
Roberta Williams a few of my boys grew up around an in thar era Heard real solid stories about you even out side this great interview the scene got your back girl Your a real solider shout outs to Spanian for getting these people in amazing my brother
From someone who met Carl in 2000 in Melbourne he was an absolute legend, bloke bought me a beer for my service (navy) just because he saw us at crown cass, not a bad word to say about Carl and Bobbi. Lovely people
@@rowmagnvs sure theres ways to live your life good vs bad, shit you can even say he couldve sold drugs even more in the shadows and left all the violence out of it, stacked up some cash and went legal with a new business... but A) they all from the streets, im from america and just recently got into this side of AUS i never thought everything was like utopia perfect but we got a ton of ppl just like them over here, wether black white brown etc, if you from the hood/streets you just grow up different man, you grow up tougher from all the bullshit you have to deal with, you grow up under different set of rules or codes, you see the ppl aorund you and how they solve their problems... i mean shit i dont know enough about carl and his crew cuz im still new to the AUS underworld crime shit but im guessing they just like everyone else who gets into that scene no matter AUS, US, UK, all over the world... you HAVE to establish a level of violent behavior and fear based handling of situations especailly when someone or some group tries to mess w your business, steal from you, fuck you over, lie about your name, talk to the cops behind your back... if you dont handle that shit, quick and to the point send a message to anyone else, its just like jail/prison... you let 1 guy punk you then next week its gonna be 3 then next week 10 now you the whole prisons bitch... same concept to what i said, you let 1 guy steal from you and dont get some "get back" as they say in the hood here, well now some other guys gonna be like shit bruh tony hit him up for 5000 dollars last week the cunt hasnt even done anything about it yet... fuck it then lets go rob his ass again... you blast a dude or dudes trying to fuck with your livelihood that spreads around and ppl less likely to do you harm, which in turn causes less problems and business to stay steady.
Glad I watched this , she seems like such a lovely, REAL and down to earth person! And despite her horrible upbringing and her life later on but she was still a decent mum to her kids!👏👏
The Spanian does a great job of interviewing people. He has charisma, is respectful and connects well with the people he interviews. The Spanian does a better job than most of the main stream media hosts.
Didn’t the Moran’s shoot Carl FIRST. In the STOMACH? And hire a guy man to kill them in their home with a newborn? I think the morans are scum and got what they deserved
It’s easy for people to judge other people but to have walked in her shoes I don’t think I would have been so resilient. She’s had a hard life and I hope that the remainder of her life is good to her
shes lucky her mom didnt kill her, shes lucky some man didnt kill her on the streets, shit shes lucky she got off the streets after 2 years like yeah group homes are probably just as shitty in different ways but to just be kicked out as a girl at 9, theres like easy 20 paths she couldve gone down that wouldve either left her dead, scarred for life or just put in some horrible situations where she didnt even understand it until she was an adult...
The whole life of crime is the gronkiest thing I've ever heard. I remember Spanian's video regarding Hood Life: The Truth about his own story and how he started and how by the end, he had no real friends, he was alone, no lisence, kid taken away, criminal friends talking smack and laughing at you and then hating you if you actually success at something, then sitting in a prison for years to reflect and then finally sacked the whole life of crime to become a better person.
some ppl got shit hand in life and they gotta do crime till they can make it better for everyone around them...other ppl especially ppl in rough hood street neighboorhoods, like we got alot of that in the inner cities here in US, wether its NYC, chicago, houston, LA, miami, it doesnt even have to be the big city hoods, all over there are young men catching felonies for dumb shit when they are in high school or even for legit crimes when they get little older, you have possession of illegal gun in america you catching a felony and alot of those dudes in the hood carry illegal guns when they in high school and until 21 cuz you can legally even "own" one until you hit 21... so they catch a felony for gun or having/sellling drugs, BandE or robbery cuz they mom or brothers or sisters need money or food... once you have a felony on your ecord here its like damn near impossible to get that shit off, the spend weeks sometimes months going back and forth you gotta be there in person half the time and they still may say, sorry but we feel like doing that is not the right choice right now... nobody cares it was for a right cause or whatever... now they see you as a numnber or a typical hood person. at that point, with a felony it makes it wayyyyy more problematic to get a job, they not supposed to do this but employers will ask if you ever been convicted of a felony or crime, your talking about flipping brugers at MCDs when all your homies are selling drugs up the block making 500 in a day its like why work at mcds wehn you got all this available to you
Self inflicted. , it's her own curse. Maybe she'll learn, maybe she won't.. Carl got knocked for being a dog, and obviously she's one too. Trying to throw off that she's staunch... They're all grubs. No pity for scum.
I was born 86 aswell have it tattooed on my back got me into a few clubs when I didn't have a id. This is real jernalism. So much I didn't kno. Salute 🙏🕊️
this ep reminded me of this quote; "strangers support you more than the people you know because the people you know (haters) have a hard time accepting you both came from the same place and they're still in the same place."
Wow, my first Spanian video. Having lived the life I could really relate to both their stories. Well done to both of you. Roberta they should remake the underbelly series with what we know now about Vic police and your input.
Awesome interview Bro. I only know of Roberta from the gangland series, she seems like a lovely lady who lived a hard life from such a young age🥺glad to see her looking good and sounds like her kids are doing good too😉👌🏾✌🏾
What a raw, down to earth, no bullshit interview!
Kudos to you, @Spanian for allowing Roberta to just let her flow with her story and not cut her off or try to project a narrative!
Would love to see more of this kind of content from you- not taking away from your other content... love it!❤
Rock on Brother with much love to you🫶🤙
Spanian is in such a unique position to bring out certain stories from the other side of the tracks which other hosts would never be able to initiate or handle properly. This podcast series is shaping into an important gem of untold Aussie history.
Not that I particularly like Spanian, but he has this impressive knack for thinking outside of the box.
She comes across like a very strong and loving lady. This was a great interview, Roberta seemed very honest and transparent. The media polluted her name. I wish her all the best.
Are you on crack ? She was pure evil, let her husband kill who ever he wanted and she didn't give AF
Roberta is absolutely a product of Her Upbringing.When she says she had her first baby and She then knew what LOVE WAS I brought a Tear to my Eye.These are the most honest people when you ask them about their lives.Its very confronting,This is what many people have to deal with EVERY DAY
💯 agree. I think she’s done an amazing job of making a life full of love from a horrible start. I’m proud of u Bertie ❤
So much pain in her eyes... and love . True definition of a loving mother and a strong woman.
lol are you on crack ? She was pure evil and let her mate and husband murder whoever they wanted and she loved it
Roberta, as a mother myself, I am so very sorry to hear about what happened with your mother. I cannot understand it either, I'd take a bullet for my child too. I can't imagine the heartache you experienced at such a young age. You didn't deserve that. You deserved a mother that cherished you and loved you unconditionally and I hope you are now that mother to yourself. You seem so balanced and happy which is wonderful. Thankyou Spanian for interviewing Roberta. She's such a strong, courageous, inspiring woman and Mum. I didn't know much about her b4 now except she was Carl William's wife.
"She hit me with an umbrella, I caved her head in" legendary, every episode of this pod just keeps getting better. Spanian just makes people comfortable and knows when to let a story flow
A true gem. Roberta’s trauma, upbringing, life perspective and mumma advice, “let it be a lesson not a loss” is what people need to hear. My perspective on Roberta has completely shifted, what a good egg
It annoys me when people that live a life of crime say "im proud that dhs have never been in my life" when the only reason they didn't get their kids taken was because they had family willing to take care of the kids.
It was from a personal perspective. Ur right tho the support makes a huge difference
Fuck right off!
The reason dhs weren't involved is because her children were well cared for and adequately provided for. Do you honestly think for a minute they wouldn't have tried to take her kids.
Children are abused and neglected by people. Different kinds of people from different walks of life with a plethora of excuses.
People are quick to judge. Through your interviews, you show us the person and their real story. Great work mate!!!
Roberta is actually quite inspiring! She’s had a tough life and seems like she’s a really good mum. I’m sure ppl will always judge her but I’m glad I got to see this side of her. Only spanian could pull off an interview like that. That’s what makes him the success that he is today. Real. Honest and unapologetic. Loved it
👍😃
"Only spanian could pull it off" wtf she's been interviewed like this heaps before. Yeah it's a good interview but c'mon wipe ya brown nose.
She speaks a lot of "positivity", love, respect and kindness around her children. Great!
I love how you just listened to her. She's got so many stories to share. Could listen to you both yarn for ages. ❤
Wow didn’t know what she went through as a child. No child should have to go through that. My heart broke for her.
yeah I knew she was a ward of the state, but didnt know her start to life was as bad as that. I feel sorry for her..
@@markdouglas9182right? I’m kinda proud of her ❤
Outstanding interview. My opinion of this women was based upon MSM reporting. I've now done a 180 and admire her resiliance and determination to be a mum
Same tbh
lol her being a mum is irrelevant to all the other shit she did. And taking responsibility and caring for a child you popped out is a pretty low bar mate

Man , Raw interview that I admire seeing Roberta move forward in her life and guide her children. To keep it as simple as possible .
Great interview Bro
She had every odd against her in regards to being a good mum. But even at 17 she instantly gave it all for her kids. ❤
Yeah totally....
A life a crime, drugs, and murder....
Yeah, it's a gift that keeps on giving...
Nothing more than a washed up junkie. If this is the kind of mum you aspire to be then I hope you never have kids!
Great mum. A junkie criminal. Great mother figure.
She just said that she was selling drugs and her oldest daughter raised the other kids. Yeah, great mum.
She basically said her 18mth old was raising himself by microwaving his own bottles.
What a remarkable story, full credit to Roberta for turning her life around and being a great mother. Spanian you are a great interviewer 👍
Honestly so much respect to this woman for being a great loving mother. That In itself is an amazing accomplishment she should praise herself for ❤
Strong lady, gave her kids what her mum did not give..love, kindness and motherhood. Excellent interview Anthony!
Spanian, that was a great interview 10/10. Well done. And a fascinating story Roberta has to tell. I’m so sorry she had to endure what she did as a youngster, but you cannot deny she’s a strong mother for her children.

Shout out to carl Williams for the best bikkies ever produced.
What a time to be alive....
Haha, truth!!
Orange stars, green mitsies
Popping bikkies down at bubble
haha good old green mitsies an the real white hearts
That was tony mokbel we have to thank for those white doves in the early 2000s. Back when revolver was lit
Amazing the contrast between truth and reality.

At the end of the day she knew her husband and soul mate was murdering who ever they wanted and she didn't give a F.

Full credit to her for turning her life around and putting her family first and stopping the cycle of violence and abuse that happens to often now in so many families.
What a 'great' interview. So refreshing to hear 'true words'. Thanks xx Good Luck with that 'GRANDCHILD' Roberta
New respect for Roberta, she sounds like the best mum given the cards she was dealt. I’m sure she would have been a handful back in the days but has a genuinely good heart
This is absolutely legendary, this interview unlike others is raw truth. Thank you so much for keeping it 100
Excellent interview, what an awesome person Roberta is. Spanian, you are a gifted communicator and always have interesting subject matter. Love your work!
Mum knew her when she was younger, it’s tuff being a survivor. Tuff women, life’s hard.. Growing up in Seaford & Frankston, it’s definitely rough at times, at the end of the day it’s what we make of lifes struggles. Great episode mate
Used to live 2 houses down from Roberta in Essendon very nice lady, always getting pestered by news crew nice to see her get her story out
Bruh she been thru hell. What a strong women. That random cut to the ad for the shaver was nasty timing lmao
Pissed myself laughing after reading this
True true, what an upbringing. Poor lady. Salute!
Women is plural.
Woman is singular lol.

I'm still trying to understand how she was talking about organising drops on the jail phone lol
Love your food videos bro but this is hands down one the best thing you've done.what an interview
Literally the best
These are the types of interviews I want to watch. Awesome interview, awesome stories 👌🏿

I’m 2 minutes in and already shocked by what she’s had to endure
Makes me realise how lucky I was/am growing up
Didn’t ever think much of her tbh but after watching this I now have mad respect she’s been thru hell
I love it how you interview people and you just let them go. Your not interrupting them every chance you get to change the narrative and you make it all about them.

She’s an amazing tough lady that deserves nothing but respect
How so?
That was super humbling, I lived over there round that time carl was murdered and remember all the media stuff about her, She seems super inspiring!

You obviously have no clue about survival
@@Kalebmygyeah because selling drugs is the only way you can survive. Get your head out your ass lad.

I've always felt that Roberta was an amazing human being that got the shit end of the stick and fought back, this interview just goes to show how intelligent and strong she really is. To have lived the life she has and yet be so well spoken and articulate is testimony to her drive to have a proper life, well done, one of my all-time fav interviews, I just wish Carl was still here to tell his side of his story. Well done Spanian !
Tony, Carl is with Roberta in spirit - look into 34 minutes in - it’s in the form of an ORB”!!
From everything iv ever heard of roberta was shes a good women with a heart of gold, I wish her the best,
I read her book and she is inspiring due to being so real and honest about the hardest times most people couldn’t imagine living through
Good on her for being so strong
Oh my goodness 😳, wow, could never do something like that. Mad props, I pray your life is much better 🙏. You are a lovely lady
Roberta Williams a few of my boys grew up around an in thar era Heard real solid stories about you even out side this great interview the scene got your back girl Your a real solider shout outs to Spanian for getting these people in amazing my brother
From someone who met Carl in 2000 in Melbourne he was an absolute legend, bloke bought me a beer for my service (navy) just because he saw us at crown cass, not a bad word to say about Carl and Bobbi. Lovely people
Except, you know, being a drug dealing murderer lol
@@rowmagnvs sure theres ways to live your life good vs bad, shit you can even say he couldve sold drugs even more in the shadows and left all the violence out of it, stacked up some cash and went legal with a new business... but A) they all from the streets, im from america and just recently got into this side of AUS i never thought everything was like utopia perfect but we got a ton of ppl just like them over here, wether black white brown etc, if you from the hood/streets you just grow up different man, you grow up tougher from all the bullshit you have to deal with, you grow up under different set of rules or codes, you see the ppl aorund you and how they solve their problems... i mean shit i dont know enough about carl and his crew cuz im still new to the AUS underworld crime shit but im guessing they just like everyone else who gets into that scene no matter AUS, US, UK, all over the world... you HAVE to establish a level of violent behavior and fear based handling of situations especailly when someone or some group tries to mess w your business, steal from you, fuck you over, lie about your name, talk to the cops behind your back... if you dont handle that shit, quick and to the point send a message to anyone else, its just like jail/prison... you let 1 guy punk you then next week its gonna be 3 then next week 10 now you the whole prisons bitch... same concept to what i said, you let 1 guy steal from you and dont get some "get back" as they say in the hood here, well now some other guys gonna be like shit bruh tony hit him up for 5000 dollars last week the cunt hasnt even done anything about it yet... fuck it then lets go rob his ass again... you blast a dude or dudes trying to fuck with your livelihood that spreads around and ppl less likely to do you harm, which in turn causes less problems and business to stay steady.
@@rowmagnvs only affects you if your either a customer or ripped him off same with any gangster. Be good an you won't have problems
Best moment 9.55 spanians reaction to "I ran one of the screws over" lol
Glad I watched this , she seems like such a lovely, REAL and down to earth person!
And despite her horrible upbringing and her life later on but she was still a decent mum to her kids!👏👏
Easily the BEST INTERVIEW I've seen with Roberta EVER!! Great work mate 👏🇦🇺👊🤘
The Spanian does a great job of interviewing people. He has charisma, is respectful and connects well with the people he interviews. The Spanian does a better job than most of the main stream media hosts.
This was overdue. Well done Spanian giving Roberta a chance to show us who she really is. I have more respect for her now than I ever had before.
My Brother with special needs and I Thankyou for what you are doing Brother .
Thanks!
Can hear the pain in her voice. Fukin aye
"Haters read the headlines but fans read the entire page"
Respect
She has defied the odds and is such an incredibly beautiful woman. Media and TV only show 5 seconds of her truth. Bless you r. Xox
i would love to hear more of her stories this was awesome.
Thank you for this interview. I read Roberta's book, very honest reading. I wish her all the best.
Roberta is such a survivor - I love her❤
i have been around your lifestyle and have evan met you a few times. its a wild life but at the end of the day, drugs destroy families. GOD BLESS❤❤❤
I hear Roberta talk a lot about fighting face-to-face but wasn't Moran and his buddy shot dead at a child football game in a Van full of kids?
She's a bit deluded man take what she says with a grain of salt. They butchered half of Melbourne.
All bets were off once they shot Carl
Didn’t the Moran’s shoot Carl FIRST. In the STOMACH? And hire a guy man to kill them in their home with a newborn? I think the morans are scum and got what they deserved
Yep I remember it!
How dare you 😡😡😡
I wish no one had to go through what she did, but she’s come out the other side. Thanks for the interview Spanian.
It’s easy for people to judge other people but to have walked in her shoes I don’t think I would have been so resilient. She’s had a hard life and I hope that the remainder of her life is good to her
shes lucky her mom didnt kill her, shes lucky some man didnt kill her on the streets, shit shes lucky she got off the streets after 2 years like yeah group homes are probably just as shitty in different ways but to just be kicked out as a girl at 9, theres like easy 20 paths she couldve gone down that wouldve either left her dead, scarred for life or just put in some horrible situations where she didnt even understand it until she was an adult...
Love how she became such a caring mum after all that.
Roberta your a special woman, love to you and your family. Wish you a happy and healthy life xx
Thanks Spanian. This was a great interview. Really insightful!
The whole life of crime is the gronkiest thing I've ever heard. I remember Spanian's video regarding Hood Life: The Truth about his own story and how he started and how by the end, he had no real friends, he was alone, no lisence, kid taken away, criminal friends talking smack and laughing at you and then hating you if you actually success at something, then sitting in a prison for years to reflect and then finally sacked the whole life of crime to become a better person.
some ppl got shit hand in life and they gotta do crime till they can make it better for everyone around them...other ppl especially ppl in rough hood street neighboorhoods, like we got alot of that in the inner cities here in US, wether its NYC, chicago, houston, LA, miami, it doesnt even have to be the big city hoods, all over there are young men catching felonies for dumb shit when they are in high school or even for legit crimes when they get little older, you have possession of illegal gun in america you catching a felony and alot of those dudes in the hood carry illegal guns when they in high school and until 21 cuz you can legally even "own" one until you hit 21... so they catch a felony for gun or having/sellling drugs, BandE or robbery cuz they mom or brothers or sisters need money or food... once you have a felony on your ecord here its like damn near impossible to get that shit off, the spend weeks sometimes months going back and forth you gotta be there in person half the time and they still may say, sorry but we feel like doing that is not the right choice right now... nobody cares it was for a right cause or whatever... now they see you as a numnber or a typical hood person.
at that point, with a felony it makes it wayyyyy more problematic to get a job, they not supposed to do this but employers will ask if you ever been convicted of a felony or crime, your talking about flipping brugers at MCDs when all your homies are selling drugs up the block making 500 in a day its like why work at mcds wehn you got all this available to you
Just watched this and it brought me to tears once I could hear the mamae(hurt) in her voice❤ love the content spanian keep it coming lad
People can say what they want about her or her family, but nobody will understand the shit she has been through to as why she is who she is
Self inflicted.
, it's her own curse.
Maybe she'll learn, maybe she won't..
Carl got knocked for being a dog, and obviously she's one too. Trying to throw off that she's staunch...
They're all grubs.
No pity for scum.
This the content is pure character development. Anyone who cannot see that is beyond understanding what human nature is...to survive
Bro this is normal life in nz mob life. Aussie's are weak titty. SFH MMM
@@CrazyWhiteVanDrivershut up did you even watch the podcast
@@Cryz24365 half, can't stand the rancid kunts voice.
Just found so much Space in my heart for Roberta❤❤❤
Bro I loved this podcast.
Would have loved it to be longer..
I was born 86 aswell have it tattooed on my back got me into a few clubs when I didn't have a id. This is real jernalism. So much I didn't kno. Salute 🙏🕊️
this ep reminded me of this quote; "strangers support you more than the people you know because the people you know (haters) have a hard time accepting you both came from the same place and they're still in the same place."
💯🤜🏼🤛🏼
She said it.. you got to do what you got to do to survive. Her growing up quick made who the woman she is today. Wahine Toa ( Warrior women) 🙌💯💪🏾
Wow, my first Spanian video. Having lived the life I could really relate to both their stories. Well done to both of you. Roberta they should remake the underbelly series with what we know now about Vic police and your input.
What a fantastic woman. Great interview/podcast, Spanian. Mad respect.
Awesome interview Bro. I only know of Roberta from the gangland series, she seems like a lovely lady who lived a hard life from such a young age🥺glad to see her looking good and sounds like her kids are doing good too😉👌🏾✌🏾
What a great chat, she was really moving when she talked about her kids. Thank you Spanian great work
Unconditional Love of A Mother....A Mother's love...Respect to that
