Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos’ sexting and dick pics controversy has just got a new, shocking twist. It turns out, it was Bezos’ rumoured girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez's pro-Trump brother Michael who 'is said to be the person who leaked their sexts to the National Enquirer as the Amazon billionaire closes his private investigation.' The controversial dick pics and sexting sent to former news anchor Lauren Sanchez had surfaced a few weeks ago in operation conducted by National Enquirer magazine, which was very soon addressed by Jeff Bezos. It is also said to be the reason behind the Amazon CEO's divorce with wife Mackenzie Bezos. According to multiple sources from the National Enquirer's parent company, AMI, Michael was the one who helped reveal the couple's affair, as confirmed to Daily Beast. The magazine's lawyer had earlier said that the source who leaked the sexts was someone very close to the couple. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Lewd Sexting & X-Rated Dick Pics Row: Amazon CEO Accuses National Enquirer Owner David Pecker of ‘Extortion and Blackmail.’

Michael, on the other hand, had previously told that he did know of his sister and Bezos' affair since April but denied accusations made on him about the explicit texts leaked by him. The investigation led by Gavin de Becker, the security consultant hired by Bezos said they have since closed the private investigation into who leaked the texts after they figured out that it was Lauren Sanchez's pro-Trump brother Michael. De Becker said to Daily Beast that he is still investigating what the National Enquirer and AMI did after they received the texts. Jeff Bezos’ Awkward Sexts to News Anchor Lauren Sanchez Has Gone Viral, Funny ‘Alive Girl’ Memes Raid the Internet.

Earlier, Bezos had accused the owner of the National Enquirer of "extortion and blackmail." He has alleged that lawyers for David Pecker threatened the tabloid would publish text messages and intimate images if Bezos didn’t halt an investigation into how it had obtained those files.

However, AMI CEO David Pecker responds to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' allegations of extortion and blackmail saying, "It absolutely is not extortion and it is not blackmail ... the story was given to the National Enquirer by a reliable source."
