Ashlee Holmes is speaking out in defense of Milania Giudice after the recent airport incident involving Milania, Teresa Giudice and Gia Giudice became public.
The RHONJ alum took to TikTok to ask people to show Milania compassion instead of piling on with criticism.
“This girl, one, she’s young,” Ashlee said. “And I’m not saying that’s an excuse for things, but she is young.”
Ashlee then reminded viewers that Milania has been through a lot in her life, much of it while growing up in the public eye.
“This girl has been through more than most of the people commenting online talking sh*t have or will ever go through,” Ashlee said.
Ashlee pointed to several major events Milania has had to navigate, including both of her parents serving time, her father Joe Giudice being deported and the recent loss of one of Milania’s best friends.
“She had her mother go to jail and miss out on moments,” Ashlee said. “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 then made it clear that she does not think people should be using Milania’s painful moment as an opportunity to attack her online.
“I’m gonna need you all to shut the f*ck up,” Ashlee said.
She also told people to “do better.”

Teresa appeared to appreciate Ashlee’s message. The RHONJ star responded to Ashlee’s TikTok by commenting a heart.
Ashlee’s defense comes after Milania’s airport incident sparked widespread discussion on social media. Police bodycam footage obtained by TMZ showed Teresa pleading with Milania during the emotional exchange and telling her she wanted to “save your life.”
According to TMZ, Teresa also told officers that Milania had fentanyl in her system during a recent incident before she was Baker Acted. Milania was heard saying she was “laced.”
Gia was also seen trying to help her younger sister during the tense moment.
Milania’s rep has since confirmed that she is currently surrounded by people who love her and is under the care of professionals working with her and her family. The rep also said Milania has been navigating an incredibly difficult time, especially after the devastating loss of her best friend, Victoria Zardoya.
Joe Giudice has also spoken out in support of Milania, asking the public for compassion and saying his daughter is going through a very difficult period.
Teresa later released her own statement, asking the public and media to respect Milania’s privacy as she heals.
“As a mother, there is nothing more important to me than the health, safety, and well-being of my children,” Teresa wrote in part.
Gia also appeared to quietly address the situation on TikTok after a fan praised her for being the calm older sister during the airport incident. Gia responded, “Job of being the oldest.”
Now Ashlee is adding her voice to the conversation, making it clear that she believes Milania deserves grace, not judgment.
