Teresa Giudice released her first statement on the “psychological trauma” daughter Milania Giudice is navigating nearly one week after their viral airport clash.
“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,” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star wrote via Instagram Stories on Monday.
“Milania has experienced tremendous heartbreak and significant psychological trauma after losing two of her best friends,” she continued.
The 20-year-old’s BFF, Victoria Zardoya, notably, died in July after a fatal fall. It is unclear who else Teresa, 54, was referring to.
“Grief affects everyone differently, and watching your child try to process that kind of loss is something no parent can ever truly prepare for,” the Bravolebrity added.
She noted that her “only focus is making sure [Milania] is surrounded by love, family, support and the care she needs” during “an incredibly difficult and deeply personal time.”

The reality star told her followers the University of Tampa student “deserves the opportunity to heal without every moment of her pain being analyzed publicly,” asking for “compassion and kindness.”
She concluded, “Give Milania and our entire family the privacy and space we need as we navigate this together. Thank you.”
