Milania Giudice allegedly had fentanyl in her system, Teresa Giudice claimed in bodycam video.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star made the claim while attempting to explain her daughter’s behavior during an encounter with officers at Tampa International Airport, according to bodycam footage obtained by Page Six.
Milania, 20, fired back, as seen in the bodycam footage, saying, “Cause I was laced … I go to college,” before her sister Gia told her, “You’re reckless.”
It’s unclear when exactly the fentanyl incident occurred and what substance Milania was allegedly given or who she believes was responsible, according to TMZ.

It remains unclear why Milania was momentarily detained by authorities at the Florida airport.

The “RHONJ” star shared a lengthy statement on social media Monday after the bodycam footage was released.
“As a mother, there is nothing more important to me than the health, safety, and well-being of my children,” she wrote. “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.
“Milania has experienced tremendous heartbreak and significant psychological trauma after losing two of her best friends. Grief affects everyone differently, and watching your child try to process that kind of loss is something no parent can ever truly prepare for. Right now, my only focus is my daughter – making sure she is surrounded by love, family, support, and the care she needs.”

“I understand that because our family has lived much of our lives in the public eye, there will naturally be questions and speculation. But Milania is my daughter before she is anything else. She is a young woman going through an incredibly difficult and deeply personal time, and she deserves the opportunity to heal without every moment of her pain being analyzed publicly.”

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has reached out with love, prayers, and support. It means more to our family than you know.”
She added, “At this time, we respectfully ask the media and the public to give Milania and our entire family the privacy and space we need as we navigate this together. Thank you for your understanding, your compassion, and most importantly, for respecting my daughter during this difficult time. With love, Teresa.”
Fox News Digital reached out to the Tampa Police Department and Teresa’s reps.
