Teresa Giudice Breaks Silence on Milania’s ‘Psychological Trauma’ After Airport Clash

Teresa Giudice is speaking out. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star released her first statement on the “psychological trauma” her daughter Milania Giudice is navigating nearly a week after their viral airport clash. “The past few months have been incredibly difficult for our family, and I feel it is important to say something while also protecting my daughter during an extremely vulnerable time in her life,” the Teresa Giudice Milania statement began.

In her message, Giudice addressed the public scrutiny surrounding the incident, which was captured on video and circulated widely online. She said the family is navigating a challenging period and asked for privacy as they work through it. She did not detail what specifically occurred at the airport, but acknowledged the toll it has taken on her daughter.

Milania, 20, is Giudice’s second eldest daughter with ex-husband Joe Giudice. The two share four daughters: Gia, 25, Gabriella, 21, Milania, 20, and Audriana, 16. The family has been in the spotlight for years through RHONJ, and Giudice has frequently spoken about her children’s struggles growing up on reality television. She has not announced any further comment on the matter. Representatives for Milania have not publicly responded.
