In a recent bodycam video, Teresa Giudice claimed that her daughter, Milania, allegedly had fentanyl in her system during an incident at Tampa International Airport. The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star made this assertion while trying to explain her daughter’s erratic behavior to the officers present, as reported in the footage.
Milania, who is now 20, responded to her mother’s comments, saying, “Cause I was laced… I go to college,” with her sister, Gia, chiming in that Milania was “reckless.” The exact timeline of the alleged fentanyl incident remains unclear, including what substance was involved and who might be at fault.
At the beginning of the footage, Milania was heard asking to talk to her mother, prompting one officer to tell her to sit down and reminding her that she wasn’t in control of the situation. Amid the chaos, Milania shouted, “Hurry up mom! Why don’t you run? You wanted to cause a scene!” Teresa appeared with Milania while documenting the encounter, and an officer noted, “This is never gonna go on a plane,” as they moved towards an elevator.
It’s not completely certain why Milania was briefly detained at the airport, and Teresa later released a heartfelt statement on social media. In this message, she emphasized her priorities as a mother, highlighting the struggles her family has faced in recent months and expressing the necessity of safeguarding her daughter during this vulnerable period.
Teresa mentioned that Milania is grappling with profound grief and psychological trauma after losing two close friends, urging compassion from the public. She spoke about how grief uniquely impacts everyone and described the challenge of witnessing her child handle such loss.
She further emphasized that Milania is, above all, her daughter and should be treated as a young woman navigating a deeply personal time in her life. Teresa requested that people show kindness and respect her family’s need for privacy as they cope with this situation together.
Milania has pleaded not guilty to assault charges stemming from an incident in New Jersey that occurred the previous month.
