Former Senator Kyrsten Sinema is facing a major civil lawsuit. She’s accused of purposely breaking up a 14-year marriage with a member of her security team. The legal claim is called “alienation of affection,” which is very rare and not used often.
Heather Ammel filed the lawsuit in North Carolina. She claims the former Arizona lawmaker used deliberate and harmful interference to destroy her marriage to Matthew Ammel. The lawsuit says Sinema didn’t just have an affair but actively tried to break apart the marriage through suggestive behavior and explicit messages.
