There has been quite a bit said about The Real Housewives of New Jersey over the years, and Siggy Flicker has been a ring leader since her departure.
She appears to have a clear vendetta against Margaret Josephs, but she also seems to have some insight into the behind-the-scenes of the show today. Recently, she sat down for another interview where she had some choice words for not only Margaret, but she also said there’s a ton of dishonesty coming from the cast. Also, did Teresa Giudice call Donald Trump for help?
Fans will recall that Siggy joined the cast of RHONJ for season seven. However, her time on the show was short-lived, as she departed after season eight. She has previously said she left the show because Margaret tried to reach out to her mother for drama.
Recently, Siggy sat down for an episode of Behind the Velvet Rope Podcast With David Yontef and had quite a bit to say. Now, the second part of her explosive interview is out, and she has doubled down on her RHONJ opinions. One of the first revelations from the second part came when she said Margaret and Jennifer Fessler weren’t friends before the show. She also shares that Jenn helped her with her social media while she was on the show.
She says, “They didn’t even know each other. She would help me with my tweets, fighting back with this roast beef sandwich. I mean, Jen would help me. She didn’t know Margaret. What happened was, when I moved to Florida and my relationship with Jen, you know, fizzled, it became whatever it was, I think that Margaret was like oh my God, huh, I got an idea, like the idiot that she is. It backfired because God always intervenes.”
She then claims that the rumors of Luis Ruelas calling Margaret’s son are lies. According to Siggy, “All s**t, David. I believe that this woman would manipulate anything. She would lie through her teeth and feel nothing about it.”
She goes on to say that no one on RHONJ actually likes Margaret, and they find her to be “disgusting.”
“Everybody is afraid of her on the show, and they all pretend they like her, and they all can’t stand the sight of her. I could tell you that. They think she’s disgusting.”
However, Siggy does not think Margaret is the reason the show has become so toxic with all the “off-camera stuff.“ As fans know, there are reports of housewives leaking information to bloggers, having fake Instagram accounts, etc.
Siggy says, “No, I think producers took it to this dark space. You see, they used to have somebody by the name of Kim D. They could use Kim D, and they could make her look like the villain when she really wasn’t, and it was easy. Now, Kim D is fighting because Kim D has a big mouth like me.”
She continues by saying the producers use Margaret, “Now they found somebody who’s called Desperado. She’ll go to the dark place, and she will never; she’s like this Desperado because she’s tried several times to build a brand. What brand? Besides, come on, come on. Now, I just gave her a brand. Get into the roast beef industry.”
Siggy and David then discuss the show itself and how some fans say they are over the Melissa Gorga and Teresa drama. Siggy says she doesn’t believe that’s the case for most people but that casting needs to bring on new people. She says, “They need to bring a young Teresa Guidice on.”
She continues, “Everybody’s like, oh, I’m so sick of watching Teresa. Well, that’s because they’re not casting right. Every storyline is centered around Teresa. If they would start casting right, maybe Teresa could take a fucking break. It all ends up on the editing room floor.”
David then asks another question about Margaret being disliked, and Siggy doubles down.
“I am saying to you on my children’s lives, housewives from Jersey and from other housewife franchises, on my children’s life, have called me have spoken to me, and told me she is a discotic to the housewife franchise and we do not open up our mouth because we are scared. Everybody is scared.”
However, she does not reveal the names of housewives who have said these things. However, she does say that Margaret is “a joke of the housewife franchise“ and that Teresa is the queen of Jersey. Period. End of story.”
Regarding if she still talks to Teresa, Siggy says, “I-I won’t answer, no. I love Teresa. From time to time, we do text each other I love you, I miss you, I’m thinking about you. “
Siggy also expresses love for Dolores Catania by saying, “You don’t have to explain anything to Dolores Catania. Dolores Catania gets it, knows it. She is brilliant. “
The conversation then shifts to Donald Trump and how he understood why Siggy left RHONJ. She says she first got to know him because a friend of hers was his attorney.
She recalls meeting him by saying, “I said, Mr. President, he goes, Siggy, you don’t even have to say it, everyone’s already told me. He goes Siggy, you’re very much loved. Now don’t forget, his wife, his staff, people watch Housewives. So, he says, I already know what they did to you. It’s the same thing they did to me. So, we had that bonding day one. So I said, Mr. President, I don’t have to explain to you about selective editing and false narrative.”
They then discuss why Teresa didn’t reach out to Donald when she was going through her legal drama.
According to Siggy, “Certain people did step in. There was nothing that the President could do at that time, but I could tell you that the President and his family love Teresa Guidice. They had a great time with her on the show. Lynn Patton was the one who got Teresa Guidice on The Apprentice, who was you know, fond of her because of her authenticity.“
The two then clarify that Teresa may have reached out to Trump in order to help her husband get back into the country. She says, “Your question is did she need Siggy Flicker. She didn’t need Siggy Flicker. She’s friends with members of the Trump family and they adore her. At that point, I was starting my relationship.”
