Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says he was the target of "extortion and blackmail" by the publisher of the National Enquirer, which he said threatened to publish revealing personal photos of him unless he stopped investigating how the tabloid obtained his private exchanges with his mistress.
Bezos, who is also owner of The Washington Post, detailed his interactions with American Media Inc., or AMI, in an extraordinary blog post Thursday on Medium.com. The billionaire did not say the tabloid was seeking money - instead, he said, the Enquirer wanted him to make a public statement that the tabloid's coverage was not politically motivated...
...The Bezos affair became public when the Enquirer published a Jan. 9 story about his relationship with Lauren Sanchez, a former TV anchor who is also married. Bezos then hired a team of private investigators to find out how the tabloid got the texts and photos the two exchanged...
... The photos include a "below the belt selfie" of Bezos, photos of him in tight boxer-briefs and wearing only a towel, and several revealing photos of Sanchez, according to the emails Bezos released...

Bezos is out of his league in the matter of hiring private dicks to investigate the National Enquirer. When it comes to defending salacious but accurate reporting, the National Enquirer is at the top of the game. Bezos is about to become road kill after the Enquirer runs him over. Squish!
Dear Jeff: It’s pretty simple. If you don’t want pics of your penis out in public, then don’t take those pics.
What goes around, comes around. You set the bar for tabloid “journalism” at the Wapo, so enjoy it when it is you in the spotlight. You richly deserve it.
PS: Lauren Sanchez is a money hungry slut. If you became penniless tomorrow, you’d never see her again.
FWIW, I don’t think that’s it. Especially if the Enquire was, in fact, doing Bezos a solid...
I don’t understand the second sentence.
Does Pecker have a collection of celebrity **** pics?
Who hacked the texts/emails?
Obviously Russia.
Or the FIB...
Maybe she’ll manage to have his baby. That would set her up for the long term.
He is putting this allegation out saying the info came from government sources and by extension his enemy in the gov: trump. See disclosing salacious info or national security info only becomes a problem when it is not a basis of a complaint about trump.
I think it’s far more likely that his wife got ahold of his phone for a few minutes.
Lol..is that you Hillary?
Bezos’ WaPo specializes in any anonymous allegation and fabrication against POTUS but doesn’t like that he’s being ‘blackmailed’ by a named source with actual evidence? sooooooooo sweeeeet is thy revenge :)
Jeff, you are finding out what awaits anyone opposing the CIA media operations ... still a liberal fool, Jeff? HAH
Good one!
There are two old sayings that come to mind in this fight:
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. - George Bernard Shaw
I never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel. - Roger Branigin
Exactly, I come down more on AMI’s side than Bezos due to Bezo’s subsidizing The Left in it’s unrelenting attacks on Trump.
That Bezo’s is too stupid to understand that Trump is attempting to do good things for America and is doing good things for America is enough to cause me to wish him the worst.
So the WAPOO doesn’t like yellow journalism...who knew?
