Teresa Giudice claimed that her daughter Milania Giudice had fentanyl in her system during the explosive airport clash, according to police bodycam footage obtained by Page Six.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star told cops that Milania “had fentanyl in her system” while taking an elevator with Milania and her other daughter, Gia Giudice, during the Tampa International Airport incident last Wednesday.
“‘Cause I was laced, I go to college,” Milania, 20, fired back.
It is unclear if Teresa was saying that Milania had the drug in her system at that moment or at a previous time.
TMZ was the first to report the news.
Milania also told her parents that she posted the video of their explosive argument to her social media, prompting Teresa to tell her, “I don’t care anymore.”
“I want to save your life,” Teresa told Milania.
Elsewhere in the bodycam footage, Milania is captured raising her voice at Teresa and repeatedly yelling, “This is what we do now,” while her mom and older sister calmly try to reason with her to cooperate.
“Hurry up mom! Why don’t you run! “You wanted to cause a scene!” Milania shouts aggressively before yelling “Teresa Giudice” for others in the airport to hear.
Teresa replied gently to Milania, telling her that they were going to get on the plane together.
From there, the cops proceed to walk them to their gate.
In a private discussion between the police, one cop is heard confirming that Milania is “using repetitive language,” and another law enforcement official said she is a “danger to herself.”
“Yes, that’s why she got Baker Acted. They’re trying to get her back to a rehab facility,” another cop explains.
In another moment, Milania told Gia that she didn’t want the cops there anymore and asked them to “get away.” However, Gia tells Milania, “They are here to help.”
A different clip from the bodycam footage showed Milania eerily skipping away from cops as they followed her through the terminal.
Page Six has reached out to Milania’s rep for comment.
Last week, Milania posted and then deleted a video of her airport argument with Teresa and Gia.
“This is what we do now? This is what we do now?” Milania asked her family members in the video, before Teresa replied, “I love you.”
Page Six previously reported that cops were alerted about the altercation around 2:20 p.m. after multiple women reportedly requested assistance.
Cops were told Milania was “having suicidal thoughts” and experiencing a “mental breakdown,” according to an incident report obtained by Page Six. The report also stated that she had recently been released from a hospital and was traveling with a counselor.
Milania’s rep exclusively told Page Six last week that the college student was “under the care of professionals” after the incident.
“Milania is deeply loved by her family and friends, and all of us are doing everything we can to support her as she navigates an incredibly difficult time in her life, particularly following the devastating loss of her best friend, Victoria,” the reality star’s manager and longtime family friend, Maria DeSantis, said in a statement to Page Six at the time.
DeSantis added that Milania “is currently surrounded by people who love her and is under the care of professionals who are working with her and her family.”
Her rep described Milania as a “good-hearted” and “caring young woman” going through a “very challenging period.
“In time, she hopes that being open about her experiences may help other young people facing their own struggles, but for now, we ask for compassion and privacy as she and her family continue to navigate this together,” the statement concluded.
The airport incident comes just months after she was arrested in New Jersey in May and charged with simple assault following a domestic dispute.
Milania subsequently enrolled in anger management classes.
She is due back in court on Tuesday.
