Ex-U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Accused of Affair in Lawsuit

Former U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is facing a lawsuit from Heather Ammel, alleging that Sinema’s romantic relationship with her ex-husband, Matthew Ammel, caused their marriage to end. The lawsuit claims that Sinema pursued Matthew despite knowing he was married and that the affair lasted from fall 2023 to 2024, involving their attendance at concerts and other events. It also alleges that Sinema provided Matthew with psychedelic treatment for his PTSD and suggested he bring MDMA on work trips. The case, filed under North Carolina’s “alienation of affection” law, has gained attention after being moved to federal court.
