According to her, “Right now, my only focus is my daughter- making sure she is surrounded by love, family, support, and the care she needs. I understand that because our family has lived much of our lives in the public eye, there will naturally be questions and speculation.”
Teresa Says Milania Giudice Is Her Daughter Before Anything Else

She said, “But Milania is my daughter before she is anything else.” After that, she highlighted that her daughter is a “young woman” currently going through “an incredibly difficult and deeply personal time.”
She went on to say that Milania “deserves the opportunity to heal without every moment of her pain being analyzed publicly.” Giudice then pleaded with her fans, saying, “I am asking, from one mother to another, and from one family to all of you, to please show Milania compassion and kindness and allow her the privacy she needs right now.”
From there, the mom of four expressed gratitude for the “love, prayers, and support,” saying it means “more to our family than you know.” Giudice went on to ask for privacy as she and her family navigate this difficult situation.
Joe Giudice Previously Discussed His Daughter

Joe then said, “She is also young and going through a very difficult period right now.” In discussing her challenges, he highlighted the passing of her dear friend, Victoria Zardoya, in July.
According to him, “Losing someone you love is incredibly painful, and grief does not have a timeline. She has been trying to process that loss while also dealing with the pressures that come with growing up in the public eye.” He also stated that the difficult “moments” his daughter has faced as of late don’t define her.
