Not saying the Enquirer is right (they’re sleeze city), but they’re not entirely to blame here. Perhaps he should have taken a lesson from all those celebrities before him who’ve regretted taking/ sending dirty texts & pictures to their mistress. Just a thought.

New here but i am just wondering if this is the proper forum for this? IMO it is not helping anyone.

Well, extortion and blackmail is a crime. That’s what we do here... discussing crimes.

I like the way you think.

I watched some more coverage on this story (CNN). Looks like there’s quite a bit more to this than just dirty pictures.

Who knew Gavin de Becker, author of the best-selling and highly regarded “The Gift of Fear”, is considered Bezos’ personal security consultant, and a key player in this ‘they said/they said’ drama? Crazy stuff.

IMO Jeff Bezos has all the money to hire all the investigators he wants, this is for publicity and has no place here.

Wow. Welcome to websleuths?

Just FYI, this is in the “news” section of WS.

Ehm, a crime is a crime is a crime, no matter how rich someone is and how many lawyers he can afford. Publicity stunt? Do you have a source for that?

Welcome to Websleuths Bowbri.

This thread, Current Events > Up to the Minute, is the appropriate forum for this particular discussion.

Wow, that is low down.

Wow, that is low down.

I am trying to figure out how her brother got the texts. She seems the type who would be aware of where her phone is.

idk, seems weird...as well as low, as you said.

Maybe Lauren wanted them leaked?

Maybe Lauren wanted them leaked?

It has crossed my mind. When the news first broke about the leak and blackmail, I expected to see a breakup. But, nope.

I do wonder if Bezos has been set up from the start. Speculation only, not fact.

"Lauren Sanchez's brother says $200K pact with Enquirer was 'deal with the devil'"

The brother says: "I may have helped the Enquirer with their story. But I never had access to the penis selfies.”

So....either he is lying and/or someone else leaked the intimate photos. Hmmm.
