‘RHONJ’ Alum Siggy Flicker’s Stepson Arrested For Storming The Capitol On Jan. 6

The stepson of former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Siggy Flicker has been arrested and charged in connection to the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Tyler Campanella, who is 27 years old, was arrested on Wednesday (April 17) in New York City on five misdemeanor charges related to the attack, according to the FBI affidavit obtained by NBC News.

According to the documents, phone records show that Campanella’s phone was inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. There was also footage of Campanella inside different parts of the building, including then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s suite.

In another video, a man identified as Campanella is donning a flag with the QAnon symbol as a cape.

Flicker, who is an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump, also incriminated her stepson in a post she made to Facebook on the day of the attack.

“I love patriots so much. Stay safe Tyler. We love you,” she wrote, along with American flag emojis and a “Stop the Steal” hashtag, which is used by Trump supporters who believe he lost to Joe Biden in 2020 because of election fraud.

The former Bravolebrity starred on The Real Housewives of New Jersey from 2016 to 2018. While she was not part of the mob that stormed the Capitol, she has been gunning for Trump’s re-election in the 2024 presidential race on her Instagram page, which is filled with photos of her and the former president. Flicker also appears to have spent time at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago — and is reportedly best friends with his lawyer Alina Habba.

Campanella’s arrest makes him one of nearly 1,400 people to be detained for their part in the Jan. 6 attack, which resulted in five deaths — one of which was a police officer — and hundreds of injuries.
