Former Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema faces alienation of affection lawsuit after admitting affair with married bodyguard
Former Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema admitted in court filings that she carried on a romantic and sexual relationship with a married member of her security detail while still serving in Congress, and now his estranged wife wants her to pay for it.Heather Ammel, the wife of Sinema's former bodyguard Matthew Ammel, has sued the ex-senator under North Carolina's alienation of affection law, accusing Sinema of "intentional and malicious interference" in the Ammels' marriage. The complaint seeks at least $25,000 in compensatory damages plus punitive damages, Fox News Digital reported.
North Carolina is one of just six states that still recognize alienation of affection claims, a legal cause of action rooted in the 19th century that allows a jilted spouse to sue the person they blame for destroying a marriage.
And the facts alleged in this complaint read less like a dry legal filing and more like a soap opera set against a backdrop of Dom Pérignon, Taylor Swift concerts, encrypted messaging apps, and psychedelic drugs.
