WINSTON-SALEM, NC — Ex-Sen. Kyrsten Sinema revealed on Wednesdaythe jaw-dropping moment the wife of the bodyguard who she was having an affair with confronted her over text.
Sinema testified that she had sent her bodyguard lover, Matthew Ammel, a signal message saying “I miss you” on Oct. 3, 2024 — only to receive a harsh reply that apparently came from his wife, Heather Ammel.
“Are you having an affair with my husband?” the message read.
Sinema, 50 — who has admitted to having sex with Ammel in multiple cities beginning in May 2024 — said that she didn’t respond to the message.
Heather Ammel later testified in North Carolina federal court that Sinema “groomed” her husband, who had been struggling with depression — saying she “had her hooks” in him.
“I felt completely powerless,” Heather Ammel said of watching her marriage collapse.
“It’s me against a United States senator who has power and money,” she said. “And she had her hook in him.”
Asked whether she felt Sinema’s behavior amounted to “grooming” her now ex-husband, she said, “Yes.”
Heather Ammel sued Sinema last year for “alienation of affection,” taking advantage of her home state’s “homewrecker law,” which permits women to sue their ex-spouse’s lovers.
Sinema pushed the suit to federal court in January in order to argue that the dalliance took place outside of North Carolina.
Heather Ammel is now seeking over $75,000 in damages.
