Milania Giudice, daughter of Real Life of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, has had a difficult year, to say the least. The 20-year-old has been in the headlines over the past few months for some reason or another, from her viral airport crashout to her bipolar diagnosis revelation and the tragic loss of two of her closest friends.
Teresa has previously shared that her daughter’s mental health worsened after the traumatic loss of her “lifelong bestie,” Victoria Zardoya, who died from a fatal brain injury. New details from her toxicology have emerged.
New details about Milania Giudice’s best friend’s death surface
According to a report obtained by TMZ, Zardoya’s blood tested positive for ketamine and norketamine, alcohol, and etomidate, a medication commonly used for sedation. The blood sample was collected on July 24, 2026, the day she fell at the historic Fort Dade ruins on Egmont Key.
Victoria reportedly died two days later, on July 26, 2026. While it was reported at the time that her death was the result of her brain injury, the toxicology findings do not establish when or why the substances entered her system or whether they played any role in her fall. The medical examiner ruled Zardoya’s death an accident, listing craniocerebral trauma as the cause of death. Her autopsy documented skull fractures and bleeding around the brain.
Reports revealed that Victoria, 20, was enjoying an outing with her friends when the incident occurred. Her friend, Victoria Silberbusch, later shared details about the heartbreaking experience. She said that the group of friends was preparing to head somewhere else when the accident took place.
Who was Victoria Zardoya? Her death left Milania Giudice psychologically traumatized
Victoria Zardoya was reportedly one of Milania Giudice’s closest friends, with the two sharing a lifelong bond. The 20-year-old’s untimely death left Milania heartbroken. In her memory, the reality star’s daughter got a tattoo reading “Baby V,” giving herself a permanent reminder of their friendship.
Victoria’s death also came during an especially difficult period in Milania’s life, as she reportedly experienced multiple personal losses within a short span of time. In a September 2026 post, Teresa discussed the emotional issues her daughter was facing, revealing that Milania had suffered major psychological trauma after losing two of her best friends. In a statement, the reality TV star wrote:
“The past few months have been incredibly difficult for our family, and I feel it is important to say something while also protecting my daughter during an extremely vulnerable time in her life. Milania has experienced tremendous heartbreak and significant psychological trauma after losing two of her best friends.”
Milania’s name grabbed attention after her explosive crash out at an airport went viral online following her arrest. Since then, her mother has been vocal about her various psychological issues. Milania herself has spoken publicly about her mental health struggles, revealing that she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, PTSD, and ADHD, while also dealing with depression and anxiety.
In an October 12, 2026 post, Milania apologized to everyone for her behavior and revealed her mental state since entering treatment after the airport row. She has said that she is receiving professional treatment and working on herself. It was previously reported that Milania was having suicidal thoughts, leading to her being under the care of professionals who are working with her and her family.
