Overview
- Milania Giudice appeared virtually in Montville Township Municipal Court on July 14 and formally pleaded not guilty to a summons charging one count of simple assault.
- Court and prosecutor statements reported that she struck an individual identified only by the initials “L.R.” in the head, causing visible redness, an allegation made during the July 14 proceeding.
- Police say the May 14 disturbance at Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas’ Montville home involved Milania “throwing food [and] candles,” Gabriella Giudice called 911 reporting erratic behavior, and officers charged Milania on a summons.
- Key records from earlier hearings were sealed and the alleged victim’s name has not been made public, limiting what reporters and the public can confirm about the incident and its context.
- Milania has retained attorney Alan Kraminsky, has disputed a circulated mugshot as AI on social media, faces a possible penalty of up to six months in jail if convicted, and has a further municipal-court date scheduled in August.
