From what Ive heard in the podcasts, John Alite says Jimmy Calandra "slapped" Gene Gotti. Calandra denies ever putting his hands on Gene only saying they had an argument and got into each other's faces.

Alite says he ordered Calandra to slap Gene, which he did, then cried hysterically and got himself put in the whole to avoid payback. Personally, the Calandra version sounds alot more believable.

I dont any of these guys personally, but Alite sounds more and more like a bullshitter. Especially now that he claims to have "taught gene cosa nostra"...[according to the commenters], Gene Gotti pled not guilty and did his time while Alite turned rat.
