Dina Manzo is still reeling in the wake of the robbery and assault that left her bruised and broken earlier this year, the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star’s close friend Teresa Giudice reveals in her new memoir.

“Dina told me that she’s scared now. She doesn’t want to be afraid, but how can she not be?” the mother of four, 45, writes in Standing Strong, out this week. “Someone violated her space and then attacked her physically. There’s no way to forget that.”
