Milania Giudice may have had fentanyl in her system, Teresa Giudice alleged in a body camera video.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star made the claim while trying to explain her daughter’s behavior during a meeting with officers at Tampa International Airport, according to body camera footage obtained by Page Six.
Milania, 20, fought back, body camera footage showed: “Because I was laced…I’m going to college,” before her sister Gia told her: “You’re being reckless.”
It’s unclear when the fentanyl incident occurred, what substance Milania allegedly received or who she thinks was responsible, according to TMZ.

The “RHONJ” star shared a lengthy statement on social media Monday after the body camera footage surfaced.
“As a mother, nothing is more important to me than the health, safety and well-being of my children,” she wrote. “The last few months have been incredibly difficult for our family, and I think it is important to say something while protecting my daughter during an extremely vulnerable time in her life.

“Milania experienced immense grief and significant psychological trauma after losing two of her best friends. Grief affects everyone differently, and watching your child try to deal with that kind of loss is something no parent can truly prepare for. Right now, my only focus is on my daughter – making sure she is surrounded by the love, family, support and care she needs.”
