The brother of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos‘ fiancee says the power
couple have “thrown him under the bus” after their sleazy selfie
scandal.
Michael Sanchez, whose television anchor sister Lauren has been
dating Bezos since 2018, claims he’s been wrongly blamed for
leaking nude pics the billionaire sent to Lauren in the early
days of their relationship, and is suing the pair for defamation.
The tawdry snaps landed in the hands of the National Enquirer,
whom Bezos then accused of trying to blackmail him.
“I have protected and supported my sister 100 percent since the
day she was born. And I’ve willingly taken the fall for her too
many times to count. What’s different this time is our family
has been ripped apart and Lauren doesn’t seem to care,” Michael
Sanchez told the Daily Mail Saturday.
Sanchez maintains he never had the illicit images to begin with,
and claims federal investigators cleared him of wrongdoing.
“Once the FBI and Amazon’s own investigators cleared me of ever
possessing the pictures used to blackmail Jeff, I thought I’d
get a private apology, at a minimum.
“But Jeff and Lauren haven’t looked back. I’ve been thrown under
the bus. Sadly, it’s likely the next time I see them will be in
court,” he said.
A source claimed to the Mail that Michael Sanchez wants a big
time mea culpa, including a front-page apology in the Bezos-
owned Washington Post.
“He’s determined to have his day in court and it’s not going to
be pretty for the richest man in the world. Michael will air
everyone’s dirty laundry. Bring it on!” the source added.
