Teresa Giudice asked for privacy for daughter Milania, saying Milania had suffered “significant psychological trauma” after losing two best friends. Her statement followed a Tampa airport incident last week that required police assistance.
Bodycam footage released by TMZ on Monday captured Giudice telling Milania, “I just want to save your life.” Giudice told police Milania had fentanyl in her system; Milania implied something she consumed while studying at college had been “laced” with it. The article does not report whether the fentanyl claim was confirmed.
Milania, 20, was arrested in May and charged with simple assault over an alleged domestic-violence incident; she pleaded not guilty and was due back in court Tuesday, according to Page Six. Before the airport incident, she was reportedly hospitalized in Florida under the Baker Act, which allows someone to be held in hospital for an emergency mental-health evaluation for up to 72 hours. Her childhood friend Victoria Zardoya died after a fall during a July vacation in Tampa.
