Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice‘s daughter, Milania Giudice, has been under the microscope again as of late due to her running away at the Tampa International Airport and police having to be called.
In the wake of the incident, many have taken to social media to dissect what’s going on with Milania and put their two cents in.
RHONJ alum Jacqueline Laurita‘s daughter, Ashlee Holmes, took to TikTok yesterday to advise people to either help Milania or stop talking.
Ashlee, 35, took to TikTok to share a video about Milania, 20.
Over the clip, she wrote, “I don’t care if you love Teresa and her family. Help her or shut your mouth. The dehumanization of ‘reality’ TV personalities is so out of control.”
“I never comment on stuff, like Bravo-related. It’s very, very rare that I do,” Ashlee began, noting she felt “strongly” that she needed to “chime in” on Milania’s situation.

“This girl, one, she’s young,” she continued. “Okay, and I’m not saying that’s a – that’s an excuse for things, but she is young… this girl has been through more than most of the people commenting online talking sh*t have or will ever go through. She had her mother go to jail and miss out on moments, she had her father go to jail and miss out on moments, she had her father deported. One of her best friends just died.”
Ashlee noted that on top of those traumatic things, Milania had to grow up on camera since she was a child and go through puberty on camera.
“I’m gonna need you all to shut the f*ck up,” she concluded.
Ashlee then shared a lengthy screenshot of a written message that reads the following:
“Everyone handles grief differently. There is no single, ‘right’ way to grieve, and there is no timeline or rulebook for how someone is supposed to cope while trying to make sense of loss.
Watching what this young woman is going through become content for talking heads on social media to dissect, criticize, and pass judgment on… while strangers behind keyboards pile on… is honestly disturbing to me.
People seem to forget that there is an actual human being on the other side of their commentary. Words have weight. Public humiliation has weight. Thousands of people picking apart someone’s behavior during one of the most vulnerable periods of their life has weight.
And God forbid something were to happen to her, some of the very same people contributing to that pile-on would be the first ones posting about the tragedy afterward.
Leave her alone.
Let her grieve. Let her family surround her. Let the people who actually know and love her help her navigate whatever she is going through privately.
And please spare me the ‘this is what they signed up for’ argument because they were on reality television.
No. It isn’t.
There are so many layers to growing up in that world that people on the outside will never fully understand. I know that because I lived a version of it myself. I know what it feels like to be young, hurting, still figuring out who you are, and have strangers believe that seeing pieces of your life on television somehow gives them ownership over you… or permission to tear you apart.
It didn’t make it okay then, and it doesn’t make it okay now.
You can consume reality television without forgetting the reality part: these are real people. Real families. Real pain. And in this case, a young woman trying to navigate grief under a microscope.
Have some compassion. Give her some grace. Mind your business.
Do better.”
Teresa, 54, took to the comments section on Ashlee’s TikTok to simply put a heart emoji in response to Ashlee’s sentiments.
To date, Milania has not commented on what went down at the airport or what Ashlee said.
