Judge Lets North Carolina Homewrecker Suit Against Kyrsten Sinema Proceed Over 9 Messages

Summary
A federal judge denied Kyrsten Sinema’s motion to dismiss, allowing Heather Ammel’s alienation-of-affection lawsuit to proceed in North Carolina.
Nine messages Sinema sent to Matthew Ammel while he was in North Carolina helped establish jurisdiction, with the judge saying she knew he lived there with his wife and three children.
Sinema acknowledged a sexual relationship with Ammel but said it began around Memorial Day 2024 in Napa, California, and testified they never had sex in North Carolina.
Heather Ammel seeks damages under one of the few state laws still recognizing “homewrecker” claims, alleging Sinema disrupted a “good and loving marriage” before the couple separated in November 2024 and divorced in March 2026.
