Jeff Bezos accuses National Enquirer parent of 'extortion and blackmail' attempt
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is firing back at National Enquirer owner American Media Inc. (AMI) over what he is calling an "extortion and blackmail" attempt by the tabloid.
In a lengthy post on Medium Thursday, Bezos details alleged correspondence between the lawyer for his lead investigator, Martin Singer, and Dylan Howard, the chief content officer for AMI.
In the emails posted by Bezos, Howard says the Enquirer would post a series of images it has of Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, the Amazon founder's love interest, if Bezos did not release a statement "affirming that they have no knowledge or basis for suggesting that AM’s coverage was politically motivated or influenced by political forces." The emails also demanded Bezos and his investigator agree that they will stop "referring to such a possibility."
The images, according to Howard's email posted by Bezos, include a variety of private pictures of both Bezos and Sanchez such as a "below the belt selfie" of Bezos and a picture of Sanchez "smoking a cigar in what appears to be a simulated oral sex scene."

Trying to do a favor for Trump? We know he doesn't like Bezos and the National Enquirer has taken the dotard's side.
