Milania Giudice, the 20-year-old daughter of The Real Housewives of New Jersey veteran Teresa Giudice, was arrested for assault in her home state. The Montville Township Police Department took her into custody following a domestic dispute reported at 6:12 p.m. on May 14, 2026.
She currently faces a formal charge of simple assault for purposely or knowingly causing bodily injury. The Montville Township Municipal Court classified the incident as a “domestic violence/confidential” matter. Because of that designation, the identity of the alleged victim and the specific physical details of the altercation are permanently sealed.
The timing places a sudden spotlight on the Giudice family just as Teresa prepares to anchor the 15th season of RHONJ following a two-year production hiatus. Milania, who is enrolled as an advertising and public relations student at the University of Tampa, appeared in court for an initial hearing on May 19. She did not enter a plea and was released pending her next appearance.
Bravo fan communities were already scrutinizing her digital footprint before the arrest became public. On the exact day of the reported assault, Milania posted a TikTok selfie video labeling herself a “diva” before taking an abrupt, unexplained hiatus from the platform.
This latest legal entanglement adds another chapter to the family’s highly documented history with the courts. Her parents previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud in 2014, which resulted in separate federal prison sentences and Joe Giudice’s 2019 deportation to Italy. Official statements regarding the May 14 dispute were confirmed by Chief Andrew Caggiano of the local department. Neither Milania nor Teresa has issued a public comment on the ongoing case.
