While Teresa Giudice is still busy maintaining her glamorous image on the Real Housewives of New Jersey airwaves, a storm is brewing behind the scenes, and this time it’s not her, but her youngest daughter Milania Giudice. According to school sources leaked over the weekend, Milania – now a high school senior – is accused of being the first person to share a sensitive private clip of a female classmate in an internal chat group among students. The incident quickly spread within the school environment and began to leak online, leading to a wave of outrage and demands for serious disciplinary action from the school.
One of the classmates, believed to be the first to come forward, provided a series of private messages that are said to be evidence that Milania was the one who initiated the spread of the clip. In these messages, Milania is said to have sent the video along with laughing emojis and mocking comments about the appearance of the main character in the clip. Not stopping there, the chat also revealed that several other students reacted negatively and even warned her to stop, but Milania is said to have ignored all warnings and continued to spread the clip to other groups. The incident became more serious when the parents of the affected students discovered the incident and filed an official complaint with the school board, at the same time demanding that the Giudices be held accountable publicly.
The school's response has so far been vague, only confirming that it is "internally investigating a serious violation of student privacy," but not specifying the identity of the person involved. Meanwhile, Teresa Giudice has remained completely silent, not making any statements, which has made netizens even more suspicious of whether she is trying to “drown the incident” to avoid affecting the family’s brand image on television. This event has also sparked fierce debate among the RHONJ viewing community, with many criticizing Teresa for raising her children in an environment that is “too free and lacks limits”, causing Milania to become contemptuous of the consequences and believe that she is above the law because she is the child of a celebrity.
Some pop culture bloggers have even compared this scandal to the scandals of Hollywood teen stars who have lost control of the media, claiming that Milania is following in the “same old footsteps” because she has not been taught how to control the power of influence from fame. One parent at the school posted on Reddit, sharing anonymously: “They think because they are famous, their child is exempt from responsibility? That girl was traumatized by the clip going viral. No one deserves that.”
It is not yet clear whether the school will take any formal disciplinary action against Milania, but public pressure is growing as the story continues to spread across social platforms. Some are even calling for Bravo to completely “cut” Milania’s scenes from RHONJ and for Teresa to issue a public apology. If the scandal continues to escalate, this could be the most serious scandal the Giudice family has faced since their past financial scandals. With Teresa’s prolonged silence, the public can only wonder: Is this overprotectiveness or a cold-blooded media strategy to maintain her reputation at all costs?
