I must have missed an episode or two last season. Why does Tony hate his mother? As far as he’s concerned she’s dead. What happened?
I am therefor I be
I missed some too but to answer your question she told Junior about Tony seeing a shrink and told him about all the guys moving their moms to the same retirement community, etc. As a result, a hit was put on Tony (by Junior-? I don’t know) but now his mom (after her stress-induced “stroke”) is claiming memory loss. As far as Tony is concerned, his mother tried to have him killed (did she want Junior to have him killed or was she just bitching like she always does…) so that’s why she is dead to him.

Sorry guys… I am really an alto, but if I find a soprano I will send it your way.
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
Tony is under the firm belief (and he is sort of correct) that his mother ordered the attempted hit on him last season (the one that “Boyz II Men” botched). In reality, she sort of egged Junior on…
Rousseau–Do you think she intentionally put the hit out on him or do you think she was just being herself and Junior took the initiative? I think she has been around this stuff for long enough to know what her bitching was going to cause and she’s just afraid of Tony now that it actually did happen.

It’s hard to tell, because in the early episodes, Livia was clearly losing it. That’s why Tony put her in the home.
So one can argue that she wasn’t really aware of the implications of bitchin’ to Uncle Junior. Or one can argue she’s the most villainous woman since the other Livia (from I, CLAUDIUS.)
