Despite some controversy over her book—one website claims it condones marital rape—Melissa continues to defend its tone and subject matter on Twitter. On Monday, she tweeted:

In the meantime, Melissa continues to strengthen the bonds between her family and the Giudices. She recently shared that her daughter Antonia continues to have play dates with Teresa's daughter Milania. In fact, the two little girls have started doing cheerleading together.
