Nobody puts Siggy Flicker in a corner, according to Siggy Flicker. The Real Housewives Of New Jersey star takes particular offense to Margaret Josephs trying to shut her down, especially because it was Siggy who âbrought her in.â Jeesh â weâre only weeks into RHONJ, and alliances are already crumbling under the ladiesâ feet like rickety boardwalk planks! Siggy breaks down her feelings on most of the group â except Dolores Catania â turning on her in Boca, and why she cannot be silenced.
Siggy complains, âLess than 48 hours after introducing Margaret to our group, I am being told how I should feel and what I canât say. Margaret canât pass up an opportunity to add fuel to the fire and cause division among my friends.â This âfireâ was started by Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice getting into a food fight, which resulted in Siggyâs $1,000 custom-ordered cake being tossed on to the sidewalk.
While Margaret claims that Siggy and Dolores werenât excluded from the beach memorial ritual on purpose, Siggy begs to differ. âShe organized a memorial for Teresaâs mother, ordered a wreath and booked a paddle board instructor from my beach clubâmy private beach clubâand never said a word to me. Me, the member of the beach club who sponsored the weekend. This means she used my name to get into my beach club to plan an event for people she met less than 48 hours earlier. Yet she wants us to believe it slipped her mind to tell me? And it slipped her mind to tell Dolores who has known Teresa and her mother since she was 16 years old? The memorial was not spontaneous. Its planning was premeditated and calculated.â
So just to be clear, not only is Boca Siggyâs town â the beach is hers too!!! Lord, almighty. Weâve got a live one here, folks! Siggy continues, âWhen Margaret was asked why she excluded Dolores and me from the memorial, she said she had no intention of excluding us, but the ceremony was for Teresa and Melissa, not Siggy and Dolores. Classic Margaret, she doesnât apologize, she justifies.â
When Margaret and Dolores had a private conversation about Siggy at tennis, Dolores was #TeamSiggy all the way. Siggy accuses, âWhen Margaret asked Dolores if I was OK, it wasnât out of concern for my well being, it was Margaretâs way of opening a dialogue to slam me with the only person in the group who wasnât mocking my disappointment. If it was out of concern, Margaret would have shown some level of empathy for my feelings. Instead, Margaretâs response was to spew a prepared list of complaints about me that she felt required me to apologize. When Dolores made it clear that she wasnât susceptible to Margaretâs âfake it till you make itâ brand of concern, Margaret resorted to labeling Dolores a mini Siggy. After all, how could anyone not agree with Margaretâs speed-date assessment of my character. Itâs amazing how Margaret, the self-proclaimed feminist, can be so judgmental towards people sheâs known for less than 48 hours.â

The drama didnât end there, because when the ladies gathered at Siggyâs condo for dinner later, all hell broke loose. Siggy felt the tension rise as soon as Melissa, Teresa, Margaret, and Danielle Staub arrived. âThe trip went to hell in a hand basket when the ladies arrived at my home for dinner. Melissa walked into my home, pointed to a wall of my photographs and declared them âall my personalities.â Margaret chimed in to declare them to be a âshrine to Siggy.â In reality, the photos are from a shoot that my husband lovingly presented to me as a gift.â
You know, this is essentially Siggyâs fatal flaw: She wants to put herself on public display, be âover the top,â act bold and brash â yet she wants to retain her fragile sensitivities to any perceived (or real) slight. You just canât have it both ways. At least, not in Housewife Land. (Just ask Vicki Gunvalson!)
Still reeling from the cake incident, Siggy writes in her blog, âI needed to discuss it and clear the air. Each took their shots. Melissa was holding onto her belief that she was just having fun. Classic Margaret couldnât wait to mock my sensitivity, call me Soggy and minimize my feelings. Teresa identified insults that she claims I made. I was so upset and babala (drunk) that I didnât remember some of what Teresa was attributing to me.â
âMelissa listed words that I must eliminate from my vocabulary immediately. According to Melissa, I canât say âyouâre acting like trash.â I guess Melissa referencing multiple personalities or drug use is OK to say. I must remember that âyouâre garbageâ is ok but âacting like trashâ is not allowed.â
But the person most offended by the word âtrashâ was Danielle, who freaked the frack out when she heard the T-word! Siggy complains, âThen the woman who froths at the mouth anytime she can spin the conversation into sex started screaming at me in my home, âDonât fâing use that word in my presence again!â Iâm sorry, come again? I never got the memo of what I can and cannot say in front of Danielle who I was just getting to know for the first time. Donât you know when you try to shush me, I get louder? See what I did there?â
Again, Siggy reminds us that she made Margaret part of the group, and that the beach club is hers!!! âIt was upsetting to hear Teresa say Dolores should have backed her when I couldnât remember saying things at the flying cake party. Really? You joined a woman you just met against me and your decades long friend. Do you realize if you had said hey guys theyâre my friends, this would have stopped on your ride to my beach club.â
Oh my. If this is any indication of the season to come, Iâd say weâre in for quite a ride. Will Siggy survive it, though?
TELL US: IS SIGGY GOING TO HOLD ON TO THIS CAKE THING THE ENTIRE SEASON? SHOULD MARGARET SHOW MORE LOYALTY TO HER?
