The Sopranos star claims ex-husband stole money from show earnings

  • Jamie-Lynn Sigler, known for her role as Meadow Soprano in The Sopranos, claims in her new memoir that her ex-husband, A.J. DiScala, took "hundreds of thousands of dollars" from her without her knowledge during their marriage.
  • During their 2006 divorce, a forensic accountant discovered that significant portions of Sigler's earnings were moved from her corporate account to a joint account, then to an account she could not access.
  • Sigler chose not to pursue the missing funds legally, prioritizing her emotional well-being over a potentially lengthy and costly court battle.
  • She stated that "there is no amount of money worth more than getting this man out of my life" and decided to move on from the financial loss.
  • DiScala was later sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison in 2021 for securities and wire fraud.
