Sigler, who was 20 when she married Discala in 2003, said the money from her Sopranos episodes was moved to a joint account and then to an account she did not have access to. 'I didn't even know how much money I had or what I was worth,' she said. 'The forensic accountant broke down what he believed had been happening.' Sigler added that she does not know what happened to the missing money and no longer cares. 'That money is a chapter I want closed forever,' she said.
Sigler also recalled early warning signs, including discovering messages between Discala and his ex on his phone before they married. She described a moment when Discala put his hand on her upper thigh in a car, which changed their relationship. 'That moment changed everything,' she said. 'Overnight, AJ became my everything.' James Gandolfini did not attend the wedding; Sigler speculated that he may not have wanted it for her.
I was only 20, trying to figure out who I was. He seemed to me then a lifeline, but I know now he was a big mistake. Untangling those contradictions has taken me years.
I didn't even know how much money I had or what I was worth. The forensic accountant broke down what he believed had been happening. I would be paid a certain amount per episode for The Sopranos, and that would go into my corporation account. The next day, a portion of that money would be moved to our joint account for living expenses. But then a week or so later, a much smaller but still sizable amount of that money from our joint account would be moved to a different account that I didn't have access to or know about.
To this day, I don't know what happened with the money. But I don't care anymore. That money is a chapter I want closed forever.
AJ was 10 years older than me and had an air of confidence about him. He was tall, with dark hair and eyes, handsome, and incredibly charismatic. He was one of those people who could strike up a conversation with anyone and make them feel like they'd known him forever. AJ was a natural flirt, but not in a way that felt romantic or inappropriate.
That moment changed everything. By the time we reached the hotel that night, we weren't just manager and client anymore. Overnight, AJ became my everything.
I can't say for certain why. He's not here, so I can't ask him. But Jim had always shown up for me. The Jim I knew wouldn't have just skipped my wedding without a word or an excuse. Part of me wonders if maybe he didn't want it for me.
