Teresa Giudice recently claimed daughter Milania, 20, had “fentanyl in her system” during an incident at the Tampa International Airport.
Months before, Milania was arrested on an assault charge in New Jersey stemming from an alleged dispute.
Her brush with the law is only one of many instances where the children of “Real Housewives” stars made headlines without the help of reality television cameras.
REALITY STAR CLAIMS DAUGHTER, 20, HAD ‘FENTANYL IN HER SYSTEM’ IN AIRPORT BODYCAM
Teresa, 54, attempted to explain her daughter’s behavior during an encounter with officers at a Florida airport last month, according to bodycam footage obtained by Page Six.
Milania fired back in the footage, and said, “Cause I was laced … I go to college,” before her sister Gia told her, “You’re reckless.”

It’s unclear when exactly the fentanyl incident occurred and what substance Milania was allegedly given or who she believed was responsible.
At the beginning of the bodycam footage obtained by Page Six, Milania could be heard requesting to speak to her mother. One officer asked Milania to sit back down and reminded her that she was “not controlling the situation.”
The “RHONJ” star shared a lengthy statement on social media Monday after the bodycam footage was released.
“As a mother, there is nothing more important to me than the health, safety, and well-being of my children,” she wrote. “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 “RHONJ” star explained that Milania had “experienced tremendous heartbreak and significant psychological trauma after losing two of her best friends,” but was making sure she was “surrounded by love, family, support, and the care she needs.”
Milania pleaded not guilty in June to a simple assault charge in New Jersey following her arrest the month before. According to Page Six, her next court hearing has been postponed until Dec. 1.

Bryant was previously arrested in May for allegedly failing to pay court-ordered child support, violating probation and failing to appear, the outlet reported. His probation violation stemmed from a previous case where authorities claimed Bryant was found with fentanyl.
Bryant allegedly provided his younger brother’s name during the bust, and was sentenced to 12 months probation for giving a false name, in addition to being ordered to complete 40 hours of community service, undergo a substance abuse evaluation and pay a $500 fine.
