A 'Real Housewife' has come under fire for promoting 'marital rape' in her book about how to 'keep the romance alive and the home fires burning'.
Melissa Gorga who came to fame for her role on Real Housewives of New Jersey has penned a book about her marriage and one portion that her husband Joe contributed is causing outrage.
'Men, I know you think your woman isn't the type who wants to be taken. But trust me, she is. Every girl wants to get her hair pulled once in a while. If your wife says "no," turn her around, and rip her clothes off. She wants to be dominated,' he wrote.
Her frequent mentions of fights that are avoided using sex has raised some eyebrows about their tempestuous relationship.
Joe Gorga is the brother of Teresa Giudice, who is another one of the stars on the New Jersey-based reality show.
In spite of her tips about how she has to be home when her husband gets home and how she dresses to impress him, Gorga maintains that the book- like their marriage- is all about 'mutual respect'.
'I think it's controversial in many ways because we do really live an old school type of marriage but with a modern twist,' she said in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.
The Gorgas have three children- two boys and a girl- and Gorga has said that she will be happy to give the book to her daughter when she gets married someday so that she knows how to approach her own marriage.
Though her marriage is said to be 'hot and happy', her continual fights with Teresa remain a regular storyline on the reality show.
