‘Real Housewives’ Star’s Son Arrested Related to J6 Capitol Riot
A bit of a bombshell stunned Hollywood this week.
The stepson of Sigalit “Siggy” Flicker, a former star of “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” has been arrested on charges related to the events that took place at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Tyler Campanella was arrested and charged with five misdemeanors.

With Hollywood and New Jersey being overwhelmingly liberal, this had to be a bit of a surprise to the former President.
The former RHONJ’s stepson was allegedly caught inside the Capitol during the rioting.
Ironically, it was a social media account of Flicker’s that got her stepson in trouble.
She had made a post on Instagram showing Campanella at the Capitol, with a post that stated, “I love patriots so much. Stay safe Tyler. We love you.”
The post also had the hashtag #StopTheSteal. Word of warning for the future… when your child is possibly doing something illegal, don’t add a hashtag that will make it easier for the FBI to track him down.
That seems to be what happened here, as the FBI used that post in presenting its charges against Campenella.
Furthermore, the FBI was able to track phone records for an account that was inside the Capitol on the day of the riot, tracing it back to Campenella.
On Wednesday, the FBI acted on the information and took Campenella into custody.
According to The Hill, he has been charged with “entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; entering and remaining in the gallery of Congress; disorderly conduct in a Capitol Building; and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol Building.”
Flicker is a longtime supporter of Donald Trump, having posted several pictures with Trump on her social media accounts, including one posing in front of Trump Force One, the latest nickname given to Donald Trump’s private plane.
