‘RHONJ’ Alum Siggy Flicker’s Stepson Tyler Campanella Arrested On Jan. 6th Capital Attack Charges … Suspected of Stealing Nancy Pelosi’s Laptop!
Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Siggy Flicker’s stepson, Tyler Campanella, was arrested in New York City on charges related to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, NBC News reports.
Court records reveal that Campanella faces five misdemeanor charges. An FBI affidavit cited by the outlet indicates that phone records placed Campanella’s phone inside the Capitol during the 2021 riots.
According to further details, the FBI discovered footage of Tyler Campanella, stepson of Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Siggy Flicker, inside various parts of the Capitol during the January 6 attack, including Nancy Pelosi’s suite. Video footage also showed a man identified as Campanella entering the room where the then-Speaker’s laptop was stolen. Campanella, who works as a sales manager at a Chrysler dealership, was reportedly wearing a flag emblazoned with the symbol of QAnon — a far-right American political movement — as a cape during the incident.
Phone records obtained through a subpoena indicate that the phone associated with Siggy Flicker’s account, under which Tyler Campanella was listed, was inside the Capitol during the January 6 events, according to the FBI. The account is linked to Bayside Chrysler, where Campanella was employed as a sales manager.
Attempts to reach Campanella at the Chrysler dealership for comment were unsuccessful. He has made an initial appearance in federal court in New York. His attorney, Marina Medvin, who is known for representing other defendants from January 6 and is a conservative lawyer, declined to comment on the case.
The FBI has cited video evidence showing Campanella inside various parts of the Capitol during the breach. Moreover, additional footage, previously released in relation to other January 6 cases, which appears to show the individual identified by federal authorities as Campanella entering the suite of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and even walking into the room from which Pelosi’s laptop was stolen.
Siggy Flicker became stepmother to Tyler Campanella following her marriage to his father, Michael Campanella, in 2012. Michael, a businessman, also has an adult daughter from a previous relationship.
Meanwhile, Siggy Flicker has two children with her ex-husband, Mark Flicker.
Although Siggy did not participate in the Capitol attack, she had previously shared photos from the day online and hinted at Tyler’s presence, according to the FBI. Her post read, “I love patriots so much. Stay safe Tyler. We love you,” accompanied by several American flag emojis and a “Stop the Steal” hashtag, as cited in the affidavit.
Siggy, known for her support of Donald Trump, has been seen in images with the former president, including at a recent event at Mar-a-Lago, his estate in Florida. Flicker did not immediately respond to requests for comment. She has clarified via a social media video that she was in Florida at the time of the Capitol attack and not present in Washington, D.C.
Siggy is also friends with Alina Habba, a lawyer who has represented Trump and is a frequent presence on cable news defending him. Habba has not responded to requests for comment regarding the situation.

The sentences have varied significantly, with over 520 of the more than 859 sentenced defendants receiving incarceration terms ranging from several days to as long as 22 years in federal prison.
