Milania Giudice, daughter of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice, was arrested for simple assault in May of this year, with the information making its way to the press the following month. Now, the 20-year-old is breaking her silence, specifically to debunk her rumored mugshot.

Giudice took to her official TikTok on June 28 to address a mugshot of herself that has circulated on various social media platforms. She did so by posting a video of herself to the platform, in which she can be seen in a dimly lit room while wearing a hite robe.

The college student began, “I have one thing to say,” before teasing that she would “save the rest” for a later date. According to her, “But that mugshot of me, you guys really believe… that’s AI. I ate down in my mugshot. I looked fire.”

After that, she admitted that being arrested was “nothing to be proud of.” She added, “I mean, it is what it is. Sh-t happens in life.”

Milania Says She Wasn’t In A Good Place In Her Life

Giudice’s video continued as she acknowledged that she needs to learn from the mistakes that led to her May 2026 arrest. She reflected on the unfortunate event, saying, “I was just not in a good area in my life, and you know what, that happens.”

Giudice continued, “I’ve been through a lot in life, and some other stuff happened to me. Just because you guys think you know everything that happens in my life, you just really don’t.”

Toward the end of the clip, she returned her attention to the mugshot, expressing disbelief that her followers would believe it was real.

Fans Are Rallying Around Milania

Since her arrest became public knowledge, there has been widespread conjecture about the incident that led to her being apprehended by the police. However, following her most recent comments, the 20-year-old received a ton of support, with many reminding her that it’s okay for her family’s business to remain private.

One person wrote, “You don’t owe anyone an explanation, babe. We ALL make mistakes; they do NOT define you. You have been through so much, and what people see probably isn’t even close to half of it, and that’s ok; it should be private. You are beautiful inside and out. This will only make you stronger!”

Another of Giudice’s followers wrote, “You really ain’t gotta explain sh!t to no one !! Your real fans are gonna stick by you no matter what!! Praying for peace & prosperity in your life, queen.”

Details About The Arrest Are Still Scarce

Currently, it’s still unclear who was on the receiving end of Giudice’s alleged assault. However, what we do know is that, according to court documents obtained by TMZ, the University of Tampa student was arrested on May 14. This happened in Montville Township Municipal Court, and she was charged with simple assault for purposely or knowingly causing bodily harm.

Her case is currently categorized as domestic violence/confidential. There are currently no details about the situation that led to Giudice’s arrest. However, it should be noted that many of the rumors about the altercation say that her stepfather, Luis Ruelas, was on the receiving end of the attack.

Perhaps to debunk the rumblings, Giudice took to social media in June to wish Ruelas a happy Father’s Day. She said on Instagram, “Happy Father’s Day Louie. You are the best stepdad anyone can ask for. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do for us. I love you and your entire family so much, and thank you for giving me two brothers that I adore! You deserve the world.”

Teresa Giudice Is Currently Filming ‘RHONJ’

So far, Teresa has maintained her silence on Milania’s arrest. However, production on season 15 of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” is currently underway. Because of this, it seems likely she and her family will address what took place in May.

As fans know, season 15 will serve as a soft reboot for the long-running Bravo series. In addition to Teresa, the only returning cast members are Melissa Gorga and Dolores Catania. The season is expected to air in early 2027.

It’s been more than six years since Sam Hunt released “Southside,” and country music fans are beginning to wonder when (or if) the singer plans to return in a major way. Despite remaining one of the genre’s most-streamed artists, Hunt has largely stepped away from the spotlight in recent years. His last single, “Liberty,” arrived in November 2024, while a full-length album has yet to materialize. The absence has become increasingly noticeable in Nashville, where many industry insiders still view Sam Hunt as one of the genre’s most influential artists.

According to insiders who spoke with the Daily Mail, Hunt’s quieter public profile is less about music and more about life at home with wife Hannah Fowler and their three children.

“He is a homebody and loves his family, his farm, but he also loves music. It’s been a long-time point of contention that those two things clash for Hannah,” one insider said. “The label got an EP and some singles out of him recently, but touring heavily is probably not on the table for right now.”

Hunt has offered occasional glimpses into that slower lifestyle through social media, sharing photos of hunting trips, fishing excursions, and family moments away from the stage.

The Couple’s Relationship Has Faced Public Challenges

The reported shift comes after several turbulent years in Hunt and Fowler’s relationship. The couple married in 2017 after nearly a decade of an on-again, off-again romance that inspired much of Hunt’s music, including songs on his debut album, “Montevallo,” which was named after Fowler’s hometown.

In 2022, Fowler briefly filed for divorce, citing “inappropriate marital conduct.” The split never moved forward, however, and the pair ultimately reconciled before welcoming their first child together later that year. Together, they now have three children. Sources claim those experiences changed the way the couple viewed Hunt’s career.

“Sam is literally one of the nicest humans in country music,” another insider told the outlet. “Unfortunately, he’s in love with someone who has basically made it clear that if he loves her and wants her, he needs to take a step back from the music and touring and focus on her.”

Past Legal Troubles Also Put Pressure On The Family

Hunt has also faced legal issues during his marriage that attracted significant public attention. In 2019, the singer was arrested for DUI in Nashville after police reported seeing him driving erratically. “It happened,” Hunt said in an interview with HITS Daily Double at the time. “People in my camp were talking about suppressing it, but why would I be afraid to talk about it? If it happens, it’s true.”

He later pleaded guilty and received a suspended sentence, lost his license for a year, and was required to complete an alcohol safety program. “Moderation is important. I’ve never wanted to glorify it,” he added. “It’s a cheap trick in country music, and I’ve always wanted to avoid that. I don’t like using [drinking] as a party song; for me, that wouldn’t be honest. I’ve never been the guy who shotguns a beer. I know people who partake that way, and I wouldn’t want to shake my finger or look down on them.”

A later Tennessee arrest involving speeding and an ignition interlock device violation also generated headlines, though Hunt ultimately did not face charges. “Sam’s wife had to deal with him getting caught driving drunk,” one industry insider said. “So would you want your husband to ever do anything again?”

Country Music Executives Say The Genre Is Missing Sam Hunt

Even with his reduced public presence, many within country music still believe Hunt’s influence can be felt throughout the industry. “What’s missing from the genre right now? It’s Sam Hunt in a significant way. If Sam Hunt walked in right now and did the exact thing he did ten years ago, he would save country music,” a second insider said.

Another industry source credited Hunt with helping reshape how country artists connect with fans online. “Sam started the whole content Golden Age,” the source said. “He was the first person in Country that was making highly-produced content that was strictly for social media and documenting touring in a big way.”

Will Sam Hunt Release New Music Soon?

Recent social media activity briefly sparked speculation that new music could finally be on the horizon. A Father’s Day post featuring the caption, “Blackberries growing on the property line, staining little hands that look like mine,” led some fans to wonder if Hunt was teasing lyrics from an upcoming song.

However, at least one industry executive told the Daily Mail that there are currently no signs of a major project being imminent. “He’s taken a back step,” the source said. “He’s taking time to focus on his family. I haven’t heard of anything imminent, but he’s the kind of artist that could surprise us with something at any moment.”

For now, fans hoping for a new Sam Hunt era may have to keep waiting.

If you’ve ever wondered what “balance your hormones” actually means, you’re definitely not alone. Many supplements promise to support hormonal health without explaining which hormones they’re targeting. Alori’s Balanced Baddie Bundle is refreshingly different. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, the bundle supports two distinct hormonal concerns with targeted formulas.

The bundle includes Not Today, Estrogen, which supports healthy estrogen metabolism, and Cortisol, Who?, which supports a healthy response to everyday stress. Together, they offer more personalized hormone support. Shoppers who want to focus on one concern can also purchase each supplement individually.

Get the Balanced Baddie Bundle at Alori! 

The idea behind the bundle is surprisingly simple: not every hormone has the same job, so not every supplement should either. Instead of combining dozens of ingredients into one catch-all formula, Alori developed targeted supplements. It’s a thoughtful approach that feels especially helpful for women navigating changing moods, stressful seasons or the ups and downs of their monthly cycles.

Women looking for more comprehensive support can take both formulas together, while those focused on a specific concern can choose Not Today, Estrogen for estrogen support or Cortisol, Who? for stress support and build a routine that works for their individual needs. All of the ingredients are clinically studied and third-party tested. No fillers, no nonsense — just targeted support for your hormones.

Reviewers say the personalized approach has made a noticeable difference. “The Balanced Baddie Bundle has honestly been such a game changer for me,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “Within a couple weeks I noticed less bloating, fewer mood swings, and way more emotional stability during my luteal phase. I feel calmer, clearer, and more like myself throughout the month instead of constantly feeling ‘off.’”

“It was gradual, but I’ve definitely noticed that I’m less stressed out and it’s not even that I’m just less stressed out, it’s that I’m able to then show up for everyone around me,” added another.

If you’ve been frustrated by supplements that deliver vague promises of balanced hormones, Alori’s more personalized approach may be worth exploring. Whether you choose the Balanced Baddie Bundle or start with Not Today, Estrogen or Cortisol, Who?, the brand makes it easy to support the areas that matter most to you.

It’s almost impossible to imagine Back to the Future as anything other than the lightning-in-a-bottle blockbuster we all know now. So much of it is iconic. The DeLorean, the clock tower, “Great Scott,” everything being heavy — is there some sort of problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull in the future? — it all fits together too perfectly. The road to getting it on screen wasn’t the easiest, but it was well worth it, spawning an epic franchise and a brand name that will outlive us all. Now, we’re about to get even more of it.

Co-creator Bob Gale is opening up the franchise’s archive for Back to the Future: The Complete Screenplay, a new book arriving later this year to mark the movie’s 40th anniversary. The release reproduces Gale’s personal shooting script, complete with revision pages, handwritten notes, deleted scenes, rare photos, sketches, production documents, and a treasure trove of gems for BTTF diehards like ourselves.

“This is going to be really instructional about how movies are made, how scripts are written,” Gale said in a new interview. “The mistakes are in there, the deleted scenes are in there, the stuff that we changed, stuff that we thought we were going to do that we didn’t do. It’s chock full of stuff like that.”

Among the biggest reveals is that Jeff Goldblum was seriously considered for Doc Brown before Christopher Lloyd landed the role. Gale said the casting was close, adding that viewers can get a sense of what Goldblum’s version may have felt like by watching him in Jurassic Park.

“Jeff Goldblum came in. We loved Jeff. He was great. And it was close [between him and Christopher Lloyd]. Ironically, Jeff Goldblum plays Doc Brown in Jurassic Park, right? That’s how his Doc Brown would have been. You can watch Jurassic Park and say, ‘Ah, that’s how Jeff would have played it.’”

Will there be a ‘Back to the Future’ Sequel?

For anyone hoping the book is a sign that another sequel is on the way, Gale was very clear. He and Robert Zemeckis are not interested in making Back to the Future Part IV, particularly without Fox as Marty. Good.

“The most important one is: who wants to see a Back to the Future movie without Michael J. Fox? Nobody wants to see that. And he can’t do it. And do we even want to see Marty McFly at age 60? We don’t want to see that, either. So, let’s leave well enough alone.”

The standard edition of Back to the Future: The Complete Screenplay arrives October 20, timed to Back to the Future Day, with collector’s and limited editions also available through Insight Editions.
