Jeff Bezos accuses National Enquirer of extortion, shows emails threatening to publish nude selfies
- In a blog headlined "No thank you, Mr. Pecker," Jeff Bezos claims a lawyer for David Pecker's National Enquirer sent an email threatening to post sexual pictures the Amazon CEO had texted to his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, including a "below the belt selfie."
- Bezos says the tabloid's owner, AMI, asked him to "make the specific false public statement to the press that we 'have no knowledge or basis for suggesting that AMI's coverage was politically motivated or influenced by political forces.'"
- He was referring to the Enquirer's expose of Bezos' affair with Sanchez.
- AMI insists it did nothing illegal but would investigate further.
Bezos response
To lead my investigation, I retained Gavin de Becker. I’ve known Mr. de Becker for twenty years, his expertise in this arena is excellent, and he’s one of the smartest and most capable leaders I know. I asked him to prioritize protecting my time since I have other things I prefer to work on and to proceed with whatever budget he needed to pursue the facts in this matter.
