'RHONJ' Siggy Flicker's Post Of Son At Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Helped Lead To FBI Arrest
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" alum Siggy Flicker's stepson was arrested Wednesday -- three years after the TV personality posted photos from the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and suggested he was there.
According to court records obtained by NBC News, Tyler Campanella was arrested in New York City and faces five misdemeanor charges in connection with the Jan. 6 attack.
While Flicker was not part of the mob that stormed the Capitol, she shared photos of the day on social media, according to the FBI affidavit cited by the outlet.
"I love patriots so much. Stay safe, Tyler. We love you," she captioned the images, adding several American flag emojis and a "Stop the Steal" hashtag.
The FBI said phone records showed that Campanella's phone was inside the Capitol that day.
Authorities also discovered videos showing Campanella, who works as a sales manager at a Chrysler dealership, inside various parts of the Capitol.
In an additional video reviewed by NBC News, a man identified as Campanella can be seen entering Nancy Pelosi's suite, including the room where the then-House speaker's laptop was stolen.
Campanella was also seen wearing a flag featuring the symbol of far-right group QAnon as a cape, the outlet reported.
Campanella joins the nearly 1,400 people who have been charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack.
Of the figure, more than 984 have been convicted.
Flicker has not publicly addressed her stepson's arrest as of this writing.
The former TV star, who appeared on "RHONJ" from 2016 to 2018, has been married to Tyler's father, Michael Campanella, since 2012.
She has posted about Tyler on her social media several times over the years, expressing how "proud" she was of him.
Flicker is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, sharing snaps of her with the former president on social media.
She is also close friends with Trump lawyer Alina Habba.
Last month, Flicker uploaded on Instagram photos from Habba's 40th birthday party at Trump's private club Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
One of the pictures she posted featured the GOP 2024 presidential candidate and his wife, Melania Trump, smiling as they posed alongside Habba and her husband, Gregg Reuben.
The bash was also attended by Eric Trump and his wife, Lara Trump, as well as Donald Trump Jr. and his partner, Kimberly Guilfoyle.
While it is not clear if Flicker mingled with the Trumps during the party, a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, days earlier showed that the reality star did have another recent encounter with the former president.
In the clip, Flicker can be seen approaching and greeting Trump at Mar-a-Lago as he arrived.
