Milania Giudice is currently receiving professional mental health support following a distressing incident at Tampa International Airport on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. A representative for the 20-year-old, Marina DeSantis, confirmed that Giudice is under the care of professionals who are working closely with her and the Giudice family during this period.
The airport event occurred shortly after Giudice was reportedly released from St. Anthony’s Hospital. According to police records and CAD logs, authorities were called to the airport after reports indicated Giudice had run away from her family and was experiencing suicidal thoughts. Footage from the scene captured a tense exchange involving her sisters and mother, though police made no arrests during the encounter.
A Summer of Personal Loss and Legal Pressure
The recent crisis follows a period of significant personal tragedy for the Giudice family. In July 2026, Milania’s best friend, Victoria Zardoya, died following a fatal fall at the historic Fort Dade ruins. The loss has been described by those close to the family as a major factor in Giudice’s recent struggles.
In addition to the grief of losing a close friend, Giudice is facing ongoing legal challenges stemming from an incident earlier this year. On May 14, 2026, she was arrested for simple assault at her mother’s home. According to police reports, her sister, Gabriella Giudice, contacted emergency services after Milania allegedly began throwing food and candles. Court documents from that case indicate that Milania allegedly struck a victim, identified as “L.R.,” in the head during the dispute.
These legal matters remain unresolved as her mental health treatment continues. A virtual court hearing regarding the May assault charges is currently scheduled for Tuesday, September 29, 2026. While the airport incident did not result in new charges, it has highlighted the intersection of her legal challenges and her current need for clinical intervention.
