TAMPA: Police bodycam footage obtained by Page Six shows Milania Giudice arguing with her mother, reality television star Teresa Giudice, and sister Gia at the city’s international airport on September 23.
Published on Monday, the footage captures officers accompanying the family through the terminal as they discuss taking Milania to treatment.
Milania, 20, is a University of Tampa student. During the exchange, she resisted leaving with her family and told officers that she lived and studied locally.
Gia tried to reassure her that the officers were helping. However, Milania continued arguing with her sister and mother.
One officer told a colleague that Milania had recently left a facility for an emergency mental health evaluation. He described her as a risk to herself.
