Sinema Faces NC Affair Lawsuit | US News

A federal judge in North Carolina has allowed a lawsuit to proceed against former Senator Kyrsten Sinema, alleging she had a romantic affair with a married bodyguard while he was stationed there. The case, brought by his wife, hinges on nine text messages Sinema sent him during his visits — enough for the court to assert jurisdiction despite Sinema’s Arizona roots and current non-senatorial status. North Carolina permits “alienation of affection” claims, and the judge found malice was implied due to the sexual nature of the relationship and its impact on the wife’s home life. Evidence shows the bodyguard spent over 60% of the affair’s timeline in North Carolina, and Sinema allegedly paid for his treatment and hired him as staff. Sinema, now a law professor, faces further legal steps — a dramatic reminder of how personal drama can erupt into public and courtroom battles.
