Recently there have been some foul articles written about Antonio and I. These so called "Journalists" have fabricated a story about Antonio spending a lot of time in Las Vegas, gambling and womanizing with his buddies. The "Journalists" have also said that I have overdosed on pills and heroin. They reported that I had gone back to the Daniel Freeman Clinic for treatment because of this situation. So I am going to tell you the truth (which by the way, is something that is rarely told by these so-called "Journalists")

I love my husband more every day as he does me. We have a fabulously deep love for each other and we never lie. It makes me angry that these "people" degrade him, me and our relationship. He has never been unfaithful to me nor I to him. He has not been to Las Vegas since he shot "Play it to the Bone" two years ago. I have not overdosed on pills nor have I ever used heroin. I visited the Daniel Freeman Clinic because I helped a friend in need by paying for her to go there. I went to see how she was doing. I write this with the hope that these "Journalistic People" will see this and get the real truth and get it right! Because our children hear these stories too and it breaks my heart when they ask "Why Mommy? Why Poppy? Do they write these things?" My friends, I hope you understand it is not so easy being famous, but for us it is very rewarding to reach so many people through our work, and to make them feel good.

With love and respect,
Lots of love,
Melanie

PS By the way I don't expect these "Journalists" to correct these statements because they never have and they never will.
