Judge Clears a Lawsuit Against Kyrsten Sinema Under North Carolina's 'Homewrecker' Law
Judge David A. Bragdon said nine text messages sent while Matthew Ammel was in the state give North Carolina jurisdiction over the lawsuit.
- On Friday, District Judge David Bragdon ruled that Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema can be sued under North Carolina's "alienation of affection" law over her relationship with a member of her security detail.
- Heather Ammel filed the lawsuit alleging Sinema pursued her husband, Matthew Ammel, despite knowing he was married. She claims they shared "a good and loving marriage" with "genuine love and affection" before the interference.
- Records from 2024 reveal Ammel discovered "romantic and lascivious" messages exchanged via Signal. The complaint alleges Sinema gave her husband a job as a national security fellow while he served on her security team.
- Sinema acknowledged a romantic relationship but argued against North Carolina jurisdiction, noting encounters occurred elsewhere. Bragdon rejected this, citing nine text messages sent to her husband while he was in the state.
- The case proceeds as the former senator faces claims seeking financial damages. Her lawyer, Steven Epstein, did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the ruling.
