Former U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema has been accused by her ex-husband of having an affair with a member of her security detail, which allegedly led to the breakdown of his marriage. In a lawsuit filed last year and recently moved to federal court, Matthew Ammel claims that Sinema began pursuing him despite knowing he was married.

Ammel alleges that Sinema hired him after he retired from the Army in 2022 and accompanied her on several trips, including to Napa Valley, California; Las Vegas, and Saudi Arabia. However, his wife discovered "romantic and lascivious" messages exchanged between Sinema and Ammel over the Signal messaging app.

According to the lawsuit, Sinema gave Ammel a job as a national security fellow in her Senate office while he continued to work for her campaign as a bodyguard. The complaint alleges that Sinema suggested it was best to keep their relationship private to avoid public optics.

The affair allegedly lasted from the fall of 2023 to the end of 2024 and included attending numerous concerts together, such as Green Day, Taylor Swift, and U2. Ammel has struggled with post-traumatic stress, substance abuse, and traumatic brain injuries related to his military deployments in Afghanistan and the Middle East.

The lawsuit also claims that Sinema paid for psychedelic treatment for Ammel, which included a suggestion by Sinema that he bring MDMA on a work trip "so that she could guide him through a psychedelic experience." Ammel's ex-wife is seeking at least $75,000 from Sinema in damages.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Matthew Ammel's struggles 🤕💔. This whole situation with Kyrsten Sinema is just heartbreaking. I mean, can you imagine someone who's already dealing with PTSD and trauma trying to navigate a secret affair? It's like, what even is the point of having a support system if we're just gonna sabotage our own well-being? 🤷‍♀️

And $75,000 in damages might not be enough for Ammel's ex-wife, considering all he's been through. I wish they could've found a way to help him heal and move on without getting caught up in Sinema's web of deceit. This whole thing just feels like a mess 🤯. Maybe we can take away from this tragic story that it's super important to prioritize our own mental health and seek help when we need it 🌱💆‍♀️.
 
I'm worried about the mental health implications of all this 🤕. I mean, Matthew Ammel has been through some tough stuff with PTSD and traumatic brain injuries, and it sounds like he was still struggling when he got involved with Kyrsten Sinema. And to be fair, she did pay for his psychedelic treatment which might've helped him cope with his demons 😊.

But at the same time, I feel bad for his ex-wife too - who deserves better than someone who's already messed up their life 🤷‍♀️. And Sinema is a public figure so this kind of thing can be really damaging to her reputation 💔.

It just makes me wonder if people like Ammel are taking advantage of politicians' good intentions or genuinely in need of help 🤔?
 
🤔 This whole thing sounds super fishy to me. I mean, if Kyrsten Sinema really did start pursuing Matthew Ammel after finding out he was married, wouldn't her team have addressed this back then? Wouldn't there be some kind of public record or statement from her office about how she was unaware of his marital status?

And what's with the timeline? It's one thing to move on from a past relationship, but it sounds like Sinema started getting cozy with Ammel almost immediately after he joined her campaign in 2022. And then there's this whole Signal messaging app scandal... 📱 It just seems so convenient that his wife stumbled upon those messages and suddenly his entire world comes crashing down.

Not to mention, $75k in damages? That seems like a pretty big claim. I'd want to see some solid evidence before I believe Ammel's story.
 
This is gonna be good. Another rich politician cheating on their spouse and expecting everyone to just sweep it under the rug 🤑. I mean, come on, Kyrsten Sinema thinks she's above the law just 'cause she's got a fancy title and a pretty smile? Newsflash: you can't just buy your way out of infidelity with a few thousand bucks for therapy sessions 🤪. And what really gets my goat is that her ex-husband, poor guy, has been through some serious stuff in the Army and she still goes and preys on his vulnerabilities 💔. The fact that she thought it was okay to keep their little affair private just so she wouldn't get 'embarrassed' is just disgusting 🚫. Mark my words, this lawsuit is gonna be a long and messy one...
 
OMG, like I cant even believe the drama surrounding Kyrsten Sinema 🤯! She's always been kinda mysterious, but who knew she was hiding this secret life as a secret romance novel heroine 😏? But seriously though, this is super messed up. Like, she knew he was married and still pursued him, and then had the nerve to try to keep it private? That's just not cool 🙅‍♀️.

And can we talk about how Sinema played both sides? She hires him as a bodyguard AND pays for his psychedelic treatment while being all 'let's keep this private'? It sounds like she was trying to get her hands on some serious benefits from their "relationship" 💁‍♀️. I mean, I get that she's human too and can make mistakes, but this just seems super calculated.

It's also wild how the ex-wife is pushing back for at least $75k in damages 🤑. I hope Ammel gets justice, because he clearly went through some traumatic stuff. But ugh, Sinema? Girl, you should've thought that one through before getting cozy with someone who was still married 😳.
 
🙄 I'm just so shocked, SHOCKED! 😱 that another powerful woman has allegedly gotten herself into some kinda trouble. Like, who wouldn't want to date a dashing Army vet, right? 🤷‍♀️ The fact that her ex-husband is seeking damages because she allegedly hired him as a bodyguard while being super friendly with him on the side... yeah, that's just peachy. 🍑 And let's not forget about the 'romantic and lascious' messages exchanged between them over Signal 😳 - talk about keeping it classy, right? 💁‍♀️ Not to mention the fact that she paid for his psychedelic treatment and suggested he bring MDMA on a work trip... because that's totally normal and not at all concerning. 🤯 I mean, who needs boundaries when you're a U.S. Senator, am I right? 😏
 
omg i cant even believe this news 🤯, like sinema thought shes above the law or smthn? hiring her bodyguard as a national security fellow and then having him on a work trip with u2 lol what kinda influence is that? and $75k in damages seems like a drop in the bucket considering all the emotional trauma ammel went thru 🤕, he's got ptsd, substance abuse, and traumatic brain injuries from his military deployments...sinema might wanna think twice before playing with people's feelings like that 💔
 
🤔 This whole thing smells like a setup to me... think about it, Kyrsten Sinema just happens to hire her bodyguard after he "retires" from the Army? And then she makes him her national security fellow too? That's some fishy behavior right there! 🐟 I'm not saying she's guilty or anything, but come on, wouldn't someone as high-profile as Sinema have people watching her back more closely? And what's with the private conversations over Signal app? That just screams "I don't want anyone to know" 🤫 And those psychedelic treatment sessions... yeah, that's some suspicious stuff right there! 💥 I'm not buying it.
 
🤔 This whole thing just smells fishy to me... I mean, come on, a senator allegedly hiring her ex-husband and then having a huge affair with him? It sounds like she was playing both sides against each other and using her power and influence to keep it under wraps. And what's really worrying is that Sinema gave Ammel access to all sorts of sensitive info and paid for his psychedelic treatment - that's just a recipe for disaster if you ask me! 🤯 The fact that he's struggling with PTSD, substance abuse, and traumatic brain injuries makes this whole situation even more concerning. It raises so many questions about accountability and the consequences of power imbalances... 👀
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one 🤯... Kyrsten Sinema, the former U.S. Senator, gets accused of having an affair with her security guard and it's just wild 😱 how she allegedly kept it under wraps while he was still married. I mean, $75k in damages isn't a lot considering what's being claimed here 🤑. Did anyone else think this guy would actually come forward with such allegations? And what's the deal with Sinema paying for psychedelic treatment for him? Is that even a thing to be suggested like that? 💀
 
OMG 🤯 this story is wild! So Kyrsten Sinema was allegedly seeing her security guard while he was still married and even got paid by her campaign to keep it under wraps? That's some creepy stuff 🙅‍♂️ and I'm low-key worried about Ammel, his ex-wife wants him to deal with PTSD and substance abuse on top of this drama 😷. How did she not see that hiring him as a security detail was super sketchy?! 🤔 Wasn't there like a law against workplace romances with power dynamics involved? And what's up with the psychedelic treatment, is that really something Sinema suggested?! 🌈
 
OMG, this scandal is getting crazy 🤯! I'm not surprised though - politicians and their secrets are like, the ultimate combo 💁‍♀️. Kyrsten Sinema's alleged affair with her ex-husband's bodyguard has got everyone talking 🔔. The fact that she allegedly hired him after he retired from the Army just to keep an eye on him? That's some shady stuff 🕵️‍♀️.

And can we talk about how low is it for someone to try to 'guide' someone through a psychedelic experience in a work setting?! It sounds like Sinema was totally disregarding Ammel's boundaries and well-being 💔. This whole situation just reeks of power play and manipulation 🤷‍♀️.

I hope the court decides to hold her accountable for her actions - it's clear she didn't think things through 🙄. And honestly, I'm more concerned about how this is affecting Ammel's ex-wife who's already dealing with PTSD and other issues 🌟. We need to focus on supporting survivors of abuse and not just tearing them down 💔.
 
ugh, this is just getting out of hand... 🤯 Sinema's ex-husband is suing her for allegedly having an affair with a member of his security team and now she's being hit with a lawsuit over it too... $75k isn't even enough to cover the damage done here, you feel? And what really takes the cake is that she paid for psychedelic treatment for his PTSD & substance abuse issues but then suggests he bring MDMA on a work trip... just so shady 🤷‍♀️
 
Omg 🤯, this is so crazy! Like, Kyrsten Sinema is all about being this powerful woman and then allegedly gets caught cheating on her hubby with some dude who works for her security detail? It's like, what even is going on here?! 😂 And can we talk about how she got him to do all these trippy psychedelic treatments? That's just wild 🌈. But for real though, if his ex-wife is getting at least $75k in damages, that's still way too much imo 💸. Like, I get it, he was cheated on and hurt, but let's not forget how messed up the whole situation is for her husband and their marriage 🤕.
 
🤦‍♂️ This guy Ammel is like the ultimate stalker material... I mean, who does that? He gets married, then starts sending romantic messages to someone who's literally trying to keep their relationship under wraps 🙄. And Sinema's security detail is just like, "sure, we'll hire him and send him on trips with our senator... what could possibly go wrong?" 😂 The part about her suggesting he take MDMA on a work trip so she can "guide him through a psychedelic experience"... yeah, that's definitely not creepy at all 🙃. Anyway, poor dude Ammel has got some serious PTSD going on, and now his ex-wife is suing Sinema for $75,000... guess they're trying to make up for the emotional trauma he went through 🤑.
 
Ugh I'm literally shook by this one! Like how does someone get that close to the public eye and still manage to lead such a dirty life? Kyrsten Sinema's ex-husband is going through it and I can only imagine how painful this must be for him 🤕. And on top of everything, she paid for psychedelic treatment for his PTSD... like what even is that?! Is she trying to guilt trip him into silence or just being a selfless "friend" in a weird way? This whole situation is just messy and I need a long shower to wash away the grossness 😒. And to think she's been using her position of power to keep this private, like what about accountability?! The woman needs to answer for her actions 🤷‍♀️.
 
This whole thing just stinks of cronyism 🤢. I mean think about it, Kyrsten Sinema hires her ex-husband's husband after he gets outta the Army and now his wife is trying to get some cash outta this? It's like she used the power of her office for personal gain, which just goes against everything we're supposed to believe in when it comes to public service 💸.

And let's not forget about the Signal messages - romantic and lascious? That's serious stuff. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who think this is just another example of politicians thinking they're above the law 🙄. But what really gets me is that Sinema thought it was okay to keep her affair private, like she was doing something shameful and wanted to hide it from the public. Newsflash Kyrsten: we see right through you 👀.

It's also wild that she paid for psychedelic treatment for this guy, which included giving him MDMA on a work trip? It's like she was trying to be some kind of hippie politician 🌿. Either way, I think Sinema should be held accountable for her actions - after all, we elect them to represent us, not to use their power for personal indulgence 💪.
 
I gotta say, Kyrsten Sinema gets a bad rep all the time 🤔. People always jumping to conclusions without hearing her side of the story 🗣️. I mean, she was married and all that, but did we ever hear from her ex-husband's wife about what she knew or didn't know? 🤷‍♀️ She had a job as a national security fellow, she was just trying to make ends meet after her career took off 💸. And yeah, maybe there were some mistakes made, but let's not be too quick to judge 😬. I think we should all be a little more understanding and less ready to tear people down 💔.
 
🤦‍♂️ This scandal with Kyrsten Sinema is super concerning. I mean, first of all, it's one thing to have a connection with someone, but it sounds like she actively pursued Matthew Ammel despite knowing he was married. That's not cool. And hiring him as a security detail and paying for his treatment for PTSD and substance abuse? That's just crazy talk! 🤯

I'm also worried about how Sinema handled the situation when her ex-wife found out. Paying someone off to keep quiet is never the right solution, especially in a situation like this where it sounds like Ammel was already vulnerable due to his military service and personal struggles.

The part that really gets me is that Sinema allegedly suggested keeping their relationship private to avoid public optics. Like, what does that even mean? Is she saying that her personal life is more important than the impact on others? It just seems so selfish and entitled. And now Ammel's ex-wife is fighting for justice and trying to hold Sinema accountable. I hope she gets at least $75,000 in damages - but honestly, I think it should be way more considering what Sinema put him through.
