Trouble continues to follow the Giudice family. Only this time it wasn’t mom and dad.
The US Sun reported earlier this week that Milania Giudice, daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice and her ex-husband Joe Giudice, were arrested for assault last month.
Milania, 20, was charged with “intentionally/knowingly causing bodily harm” and “simple assault” after being arrested by Montville Township police on May 14. Per US Sunthe case has been classified as domestic violence.
Milania is a student at the University of Tampa and is one of four daughters of Teresa and Joe. She’s just the latest Giudice family member to find trouble with the law. Her father Joe famously served three and a half years in prison for tax evasion and bank fraud. His arrest resulted in him being banned from the United States and moving to the Bahamas. Teresa was gone for 11 months, serving prison time for mail fraud, bankruptcy fraud and wire fraud.
On Thursday, Montville Township Police Chief Andrew Caggiano released a statement regarding Giudice’s arrest, saying as of Us Weeklyin part: “She was released pending her next court appearance. A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Despite this charge, the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
Giudice’s arrest comes just a few months after Bravo announced that RHONJ returns for a 15th season. Production began this spring, and Teresa Guidice has already been confirmed as part of the season 15 cast. Milania and her three sisters have appeared in the past RHONJ seasons, so it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to see Teresa and Joe’s daughters return to the Bravo screen again. A premiere date has not yet been announced.
