Heather Ammel

Heather Ammel is the ex-wife of Matthew Ammel, a former member of Kyrsten Sinema's security detail. She is currently newsworthy due to a lawsuit she filed against former US Senator Kyrsten Sinema, accusing Sinema of "alienation of affection." Ammel alleges that Sinema had a romantic relationship with her husband while he was still married, which led to the breakdown of their marriage. The lawsuit seeks at least $75,000 in damages. Recent developments include Sinema admitting in court filings to having a "romantic and intimate" relationship with Matthew Ammel during her final year in office. Additionally, reports have surfaced that Sinema's former campaign committee paid Matthew Ammel almost $9,000 in October. This case highlights the legal concept of "alienation of affection," which allows a spouse to sue a third party for interfering in their marriage.
