Intimate photos of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend, American news anchor Lauren Sanchez, were leaked by the latter’s brother, The New York Times (NYT) has reported.
According to reports, Michael Sanchez released the images to National Enquirer — an American tabloid newspaper — which was reported by NYT after the publication accessed the four unnamed sources and a written contract between Michael and American Media Inc — parent company of The Enquirer.
The Enquirer had long ago claimed that the source of the picture was Michael Sanchez, but the paradigm shifted when Bezos’ forensic team accused Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS) for hacking his cellphone.
In reaction to The Guardian’s report, the Saudi Embassy in Washington DC and AMI had, however, denied the involvement of the Saudi crown prince.
Earlier, the pictures in question had also become the reason behind Bezos’ divorce. Things are still not very clear as different media outlets are making varying claims.
