Episode Details

A federal judge in North Carolina has ruled that former Senator Kyrsten Sinema can be sued over a romantic affair with a married bodyguard, citing nine incriminating text messages sent to him while he was at his home in the state. Despite Sinema’s attempts to dismiss the case by claiming no ties to North Carolina, the judge found that the affair’s key moments occurred there — including sexual encounters — and that the state’s “alienation of affection” law applies. The bodyguard’s wife, who filed the lawsuit seeking $75,000, alleges Sinema’s actions destroyed her marriage. Records show the bodyguard spent over 60% of the affair period in North Carolina, and Sinema allegedly paid for his treatment and hired him on her Senate staff. With Sinema having left office last year, she now faces legal proceedings and potential trial in North Carolina courts.
