Jeff Bezos is the founder, chairman, and CEO of Amazon.com. He has also founded Blue Origin, an aerospace manufacturer. On July 16, 2018, he accused the National Enquirer of blackmailing him in a blog post on Medium.
In the post, Bezos alleges that the Enquirer paid him and his wife $150 million to keep silent about their relationship. He also alleges that the Enquirer threatened to publish photos of him and his wife if he did not comply.
This accusation is highly unusual and could pose a serious threat to Bezos’ reputation and business interests. If true, it would suggest that the Enquirer is willing to use blackmail to obtain information from powerful individuals.
This could have serious implications for the media industry as a whole, as blackmail is a powerful tool that can be used to threaten people into silence.
Though it’s still unclear whether or not Bezos’ allegations are true, this story will continue to be closely watched by both the media and business communities. If he does indeed have evidence to support his claims, it could have a major impact on how people view the National Enquirer and other tabloid newspapers in future.
