The former senator said Matthew Ammel caused $200,000 in damage in her home and destroyed 22 pieces of art while demanding she post a video to social media.
Earlier this month, a North Carolina judge ruled that the former senator could be sued under the state’s “home-wrecker” law over her relationship with Ammel, who was married at the time of their relationship.
North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allow spurned spouses to sue for “alienation of affection” and to seek compensation from a third party responsible for the breakup of their marriage.
Lol.
