“Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Siggy Flicker’s stepson Tyler Campanella was arrested in connection to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to court records obtained by NBC News.

Campanella was arrested in New York City on Wednesday and faces five misdemeanor charges.

According to an FBI affidavit obtained by the outlet, phone records proved that Campanella’s phone was inside the capitol when the riots broke out in 2021.

The FBI also found footage of Campanella inside various parts of the Capitol, including Nancy Pelosi’s suite.

Additional video reviewed by NBC showed a man identified as Campanella walking into the room where the then-Speaker’s laptop was stolen.

Campanella, a sales manager at a Chrysler dealership, wore a flag featuring the symbol of QAnon — a far-right American political movement — as a cape, per the outlet.

The reality TV alum has yet to address her stepson’s arrest on social media.

Reps for the Flicker, who is best friends with Trump’s legal eagle Alina Habba, did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Tyler is now one of the nearly 1,400 people who have been arrested in connection to the attack, which took place as Congress gathered to certify Joe Biden’s Presidential election win. The riot ended up killing five people — including a police officer — and injured hundreds.
