Jeff bezos exposes national enquirer blackmail ploy over intimate photos

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post, has accused the National Enquirer of attempting to blackmail him over intimate photos.

According to a letter Bezos wrote to the National Enquirer's parent company, American Media Inc. (AMI), the tabloid threatened to publish the photos unless Bezos agreed to stop investigating how the Enquirer obtained them.

The letter, which was published by Bezos' brother, Mark Bezos, on Medium, alleges that the Enquirer's parent company, AMI, had been trying to get Bezos to drop his investigation into how the Enquirer obtained the photos.

Bezos claims that the Enquirer's editor, Dylan Howard, told him that the tabloid had obtained the photos through a "highly reliable source" and that they would publish them unless Bezos agreed to stop investigating.

Bezos also claims that the Enquirer's parent company, AMI, had been trying to get him to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that would have prevented him from talking about the photos or the Enquirer's methods.

The letter alleges that the Enquirer's actions were a form of blackmail, and that Bezos was being targeted because of his ownership of The Washington Post, which has been critical of President Trump and his administration.

Bezos has accused the Enquirer of using its power and influence to try to silence him and prevent him from investigating how the tabloid obtained the photos.

The controversy has sparked widespread outrage and criticism of the Enquirer and its parent company, AMI. Many have accused the tabloid of engaging in unethical and illegal behavior, and have called for an investigation into the matter.

The National Enquirer has denied any wrongdoing, and has claimed that it obtained the photos through a legitimate source. However, Bezos' allegations have raised serious questions about the Enquirer's methods and the extent to which it will go to get a scoop.

The controversy has also highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in the media industry, and has sparked a wider conversation about the ethics of tabloid journalism and the importance of protecting sources and whistleblowers.

In the end, Bezos' decision to go public with his allegations has sparked a major scandal that has exposed the Enquirer's tactics and has raised important questions about the role of the media in society.
