A video from Tampa International Airport shows 20-year-old Milania Giudice in a tense exchange with her mother Teresa and sister Gia on September 23, with police nearby. The Daily Mail reported that airport police received emergency calls around 2:20 p.m. and found Milania within 12 minutes. No arrests were made, and the family boarded their flight together.
Milania's representative said she is going through a difficult period following the July death of her close friend Victoria Zardoya. The representative asked for "compassion and privacy" while the family focuses on her health and well-being and she receives professional care and family support.
Airport Encounter Ends Without Police Action
The Daily Mail reported that multiple women called for help at the airport, saying they needed assistance. Law enforcement sources told the outlet that Milania had apparently run away from Teresa, Gia, a counselor, and others near the ticket counter. Officers located the group within 12 minutes and they boarded their flight without incident.
In a now-deleted video from that day, Milania repeatedly told her family, "This is what we do now," while Teresa told her, "I love you." Gia urged her mother to let the situation go. The Daily Mail reported that police were told Milania had recently been released from the hospital.
Grief and Personal Loss Weighing on Milania
Milania has faced serious personal hardship in recent months. In July, her close childhood friend Victoria Zardoya died unexpectedly. In an August tribute, Milania called Victoria her "best friend," "sister," and "soulmate," writing that she still expected to hear Victoria's laugh and see her name on her phone.
The airport incident occurred as Milania was also processing the earlier death of her great-grandmother. Her representative said she hopes that sharing her experiences may help other young people facing similar struggles. The family is focusing on her recovery and health during this difficult time.
Separate Assault Charge Pending Trial
Milania faces a separate legal issue stemming from a May incident at her family's home in New Jersey. She was arrested on a simple assault charge following a domestic dispute. Court documents allege she struck someone in the head during an argument involving thrown food and candles.
Her hearing was postponed from August to September 29, 2026, allowing her to complete court-recommended anger-management classes. Prosecutors are reviewing evidence and speaking with officers. If convicted, Milania could face up to 6 months in jail and fines exceeding $500.
Family Seeks Space and Support for Milania
The public video raised concerns among observers about Milania's mental health and well-being. Her representative emphasized that she is receiving professional care and ongoing family support during this challenging period.
The representative asked media and the public for "compassion and privacy" as the family works on Milania's recovery. No criminal charges were filed related to the airport encounter, and police found no reason to pursue action or seek medical transport.
