Milania Giudice Addresses Assault Arrest for the 1st Time: ‘S*** Happens in Life’
Teresa Giudice’s daughter Milania Giudice is speaking out about her arrest for the first time, shutting down rumors that her mugshot is going viral on social media.
“I have one thing to say, I’m going to save the rest for tomorrow. But that ‘mugshot’ of me, if you guys really believe. That’s AI,” Milania, 20, said in a TikTok video posted on Monday, June 29. “I ate down in my mugshot. I looked fire. I mean, nothing to be proud of.”
Milania’s video marked the first time she discussed her recent arrest, telling her followers that “s*** happens in life.”
“It is what it is, you gotta learn from it. Just become a better person and talk about it,” she added. “I just was not in a good area in my life. That happens, I’ve been through a lot in life and some other stuff happened to me.”
Milania continued, “Just because you guys think you know everything that happens in my life, you just really don’t.”
She reiterated that the mugshot was not real before concluding the video.
“I can’t believe you guys even believe that’s real,” Milania said. “But that’s all I have to say for tonight.”
Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that Milania was arrested in New Jersey’s Montville Township on May 14 following her involvement in an alleged domestic violence incident that took place in the early evening.
Chief Andrew Caggiano confirmed in a statement to Us on June 11 that Milania was charged “on a summons complaint with one count of Simple Assault.”
“She was released pending her next court appearance. A criminal complaint is merely an accusation,” he continued. “Despite this accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until she has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
An initial hearing was held on May 19, but no plea was entered. Further details regarding Milania’s arrest have not yet been revealed since the complaint was marked “confidential.”
Several photos of Milania, seemingly in police custody, have been shared by social media creators over the past few weeks. The images shared online are what the Bravo star called AI on Monday. Milania captioned her video with “peace and love,” hinting that she has more information to share.
The reality star made her Bravo debut in 2009 alongside her family when The Real Housewives of New Jersey premiered.
RHONJ OG Teresa, 54, shares Milania with ex-husband Joe Giudice. They are also the parents of daughters Gia, 25, Gabriella, 22, and Audriana, 16. Neither Teresa nor Joe have publicly addressed Milania’s arrest.
