NEW YORK CITY: 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' alum Siggy Flicker's stepson Tyler Campanella is hit with charges for his involvement in the January 6 riot.

Tyler who is the stepson of the reality TV star Siggy Flicker has been arrested by the police authorities in connection with the attack on the US Capitol that occurred on January 6, 2021, as per NBC News.

On Wednesday, Campanella was arrested by the cops in the bustling city of New York and now he finds himself confronted with a total of five misdemeanor charges, marking a significant turning point in his life.

The 2021 riots at the Capitol saw the emergence of new evidence, as an FBI affidavit, which has been obtained by the outlet, revealed that phone records unequivocally established the presence of Campanella's phone within the premises of the Capitol at the time when the riots erupted.

In addition to discovering footage of Campanella within different areas of the Capitol, such as Nancy Pelosi's suite, the FBI also came across evidence of his presence.

In a supplementary video that was carefully examined by NBC, an individual known as Campanella can be seen entering the room where the laptop belonging to the former Speaker was ultimately pilfered.

Campanella, a sales manager at a Chrysler dealership, was seen sporting a flag adorned with the emblem of QAnon, a controversial far-right political movement, draped around his shoulders like a cape, according to reports.

Soon after, the netizens began sharing their stance on the arrest of Flicker's stepson Tyler.

A Reddit user said, "Justice prevails."

One social media user wrote, "Damn soggy flocker."

Another user chimed in, "Thank you!! That's all I waaaaanted."

Followed by a user who penned, "Lock him up."

A user commented, "Sweet like justice, karma is a queen."

Why did Siggy Flicker and Mark Flicker split?

Siggy Flicker and her first husband, Mark Flicker tied the knot in the year 1997. However, the pair's marriage wasn't meant to last for eternity and they ended up getting divorced in 2007 after 10 years together.

When it comes to maintaining a relationship with a former partner, Siggy Flicker stands out as a shining example. The renowned relationship expert not only successfully played matchmaker for her first husband, Mark Flicker, but she also played a pivotal role in her own wedding to her second husband, Michael Campanella, by having Mark serve as the best man.

Today, Siggy, Michael, Mark, and their children have formed a close-knit, harmonious blended family that exemplifies love, understanding, and unity.

It appears that Siggy and Mark have realized that they have a stronger friendship than a romantic relationship. Siggy had a feeling that her first marriage wouldn't last even before she walked down the aisle.

'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' star opened up about her doubts and decision to go through with the marriage in an episode of 'Personal Space.'

Talking of her now husband Michael, Siggy said, "I'm married to a man who allows me to be the animal that I am. I'm obsessed with my husband."
