Milania Giudice is receiving professional support after a troubling video of a tense exchange with her mom, Teresa Giudice, emerged earlier this week.
“She is currently surrounded by people who love her and is under the care of professionals who are working with her and her family,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star’s representative, Marina DeSantis, told TMZ in a statement on Thursday, September 24.
DeSantis continued, “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 [Zardoya].”
“Milania is a good-hearted and caring young woman who has been going through a very challenging period, and our focus right now is simply on her health, healing and well-being,” the statement went on. “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.”
Milania, 20, was filmed in what appeared to be a tense exchange with her mom, Teresa, 54, and sister Gia, 25, at Tampa International Airport on Wednesday, September 23. According to TMZ, Milania posted the video to her Instagram account but quickly deleted it.
Earlier this year, the Milania mourned the death of her best friend, Victoria, who died at age 20 in July after suffering a fatal fall.
Milania grieved her friend’s death in an emotional Instagram post in August, writing, ““Every Chapter Has Your Name In It 🤍🕊️. My Victoria. My best friend. My sister. My soulmate. My partner in crime. There are no words in any language that could ever describe losing you.”
“I still wait for your name to pop up on my phone, I still expect to hear your laugh, and I still catch myself wanting to tell you something,” she added. “My heart keeps forgetting what my mind already knows, but one thing I know for sure is that every chapter of my life has your name in it.”
As well as Milania and Gia, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa shares daughters Gabriella, 21, and Audriana, 17, with ex-husband Joe Giudice.
In May, Milania was arrested over an alleged domestic violence incident at her mother’s home in Montville Township, New Jersey. She pleaded not guilty to simple assault and purposely/knowingly causing bodily injury.
According to an arrest report obtained by Us, Milania’s sister Gabriella called police on May 14 to report that Milania was “acting erratically” and “throwing food [and] candles.”
Her next hearing in relation to the case is scheduled for Tuesday, September 29.
