The brother of Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos' girlfriend, former TV anchor Lauren Sanchez, criticized the tech billionaire's decision to try to preempt the National Enquirer's scoop on their affair. "Everything that Gavin has advised Jeff to do has only amplified the magnitude of the scandal," Sanchez told host Howard Kurtz. The interview came days after Bezos went public with what he called a blackmail threat by the Enquirer to publish "intimate photos" of him. Sanchez described Bezos as "a brilliant man who doesn't bow down to bullies ... most of the time. Michael Sanchez claims that de Becker risked exposing the affair by allowing Bezos and Lauren Sanchez to appear together at restaurants, on private jets and at the launch event for Bezos' Blue Origin aerospace company.
