Former Arizona Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema will share testimony this month about her affair with a married bodyguard after his ex-wife sued her.
The relationship is laid out in court documents filed in the so-called 'homewrecker' lawsuit filed by Heather Ammel, who accuses Sinema of 'deliberate' interference in ending her nearly 15-year marriage to Matthew Ammel, the father of her three children.
The shock development could tee up a made-for-TV moment since she is expected to appear in person. She could also opt to provide a pre-recorded deposition, or written testimony, in the explosive case.
But Sinema, who is known for her bold and bright fashion choices, isn't one to shy away from the limelight.
Heather Ammel sued Sinema last year for acting with 'deliberate' and 'malicious' interference to seduce her husband. She is seeking damages from Sinema in excess of $25,000 as a direct result of the harm, as well as punitive damages.
But should the lawsuit proceed, Sinema could be on the hook for a much bigger payout. That's because her former security guard-turned-lover had been living in North Carolina at the time.
