Milania Giudice has addressed her May arrest.

The 20-year-old daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice was arrested on May 14 in connection with a domestic violence incident, a law enforcement source previously told PEOPLE. Milania was charged with simple assault and purposely/knowingly causing a bodily injury.

In a TikTok video posted on Monday, June 29, Milania commented on the arrest for the first time.

“I have one thing to say — I’m going to save the rest for tomorrow," Milania said in the video, which was taken in a bedroom with text overlay that said, "and goodnight." She addressed a mugshot photo that is circulating online of her, and said it's "AI."

"I ate down in my mugshot. I looked fire," she said. "I mean, nothing to be proud of, but... I made sure of that."

“I mean, it is what it is, s--- happens in life," Milania said of last month's arrest. "It is what it is, you gotta learn from it, just become a better person and talk about it."

She also said that she "was not in a good area in my life" at the time.

"That happens. 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," she continued.

"Peace and love," she wrote in the caption of the video.

Milania, who attends the University of Tampa, had a hearing on May 19 but didn't enter a plea, according to the U.S. Sun.

She is the third of four daughters that Teresa, 54, shares with ex-husband Joe Giudice. Milania has two older sisters, Gia, 25, and Gabriella, 21, and a younger sister, Audriana, 16.

Milania has regularly appeared on RHONJ since 2009 when her mother debuted on the show.
