I'm surprised this has not been mentioned yet, as it's top news on many news sites:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8380399/na...blackmail/
Basically: Bezos is accusing the National Enquirer owner of blackmail, claiming that the NE owner, David Pecker, told Bezos to cancel his probe into how his sordid text messages got released, or he would release the graphic pictures associated with Bezos and Sanchez. Ie, his dick pics and Sanchez simulating felatio on a cigar (how original).
Bezos wrote a nice little screed on Medium.com about the alleged blackmale. His tone is utterly narcissistic and aloof, as one would expect from such a chode. He takes the wonderfully arrogant argument of "if this could happen to me, the richest most awesome man in the world, think about what
normal people have to go through during internet cyber blackmail!" - as if his business practices have not economically devastated millions, or even addressing the fact he was loose and irresponsible in his behavior.
Anyway, this drama is awesome because it makes him seem like even more like a man with poor judgement, bringing ridiculous and unnecessary drama around him. He has officially become a desperate buffoon.
However, that said, what DID surprise me, was the incredible lengths the psycophantic media are going to change the narrative on Bezos. Now, instead of being a philandering simping child, he's the righteous victim cyberbullying and blackmail - fighting on behalf of all of us! Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC was particularly egregious in this regard. We all knew this but it's worth repeating: the media has no shame, and the elites have no soul.
If there is any silver lining here, I highly doubt people are going to fall for this nonsense. There's already rising pushback about Amazon's upcoming move to NYC. Would be awesome to see that fall through.
