On August 29, 2025, I attempted to speak to Angelina, and Matthew was keeping the phone on the car speaker with the windows/sunroof open to obstruct my ability to hear, interfering with the call, hijacking the conversation, and trying to distract Angelina and get her to talk to him the entire time. He also told Angelina during the call that “mommy records all the calls and only posts some of them” and that “I will show you all of her posts and let you listen to everything so that when your friends find these things one day that you know what to say.” 

He also repeatedly kept the phone on voice isolation mode, kept the phone next to him and not near her so that I could only hear him and not her, and then continued to tell her what to say and control the entire conversation. He also stated that I only had “5 minutes” to talk to her, and stated he was going to pick up his son Sal Lodice. I also mentioned that my other daughter Julianna would be dancing in the Greek Festival in Orange, CT, and asked Angelina if she was going to go and Matthew told her “We are not going to tell mommy the day that we are going. I don’t want her to know which day we are going to go. I don’t want her to find out.” When I tried to ask that she call me back when it’s not on the car speaker so I could have a proper call with her and hear her properly, Matthew became angry and tried to control the situation by demanding I listen with obstructed audio for the five minute call or else no call at all.
