Jeff Bezos doesn't play around as he sued Lauren Sanchez's brother Michael Sanchez for allegedly hiding money to avoid paying the previous amount for the defamation suit and more about what's happening to the famous power couple. 

What is Really Happening?

Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, is in a legal battle against Michael Sanchez, brother to Bezos' girlfriend, who finally founds its way to the court of Seattle on Thursday, June 24. The matter first sparked when Sanchez filed a defamation lawsuit against Bezos to leak intimate text messages to the mass media.

The judge presiding over the case threw it out and ordered Sanchez to pay Bezos and his private investigator, Gavin de Becker, a total of $254,404 which has not been paid yet. Hence Bezos took to the courts once again, saying that Sanchez is intentionally stashing secret assets to avoid paying the massive fine.

Sanchez Responds From His Liaison

After the first case came to its conclusion, Bezos said that Sanchez transferred ownership of his home in WeHo for $2.5 million to a shell company. Sanchez's spokesperson went to Seattle Times saying that this is classic "bullying."

Tom Warren, Sanchez's lawyer, said "Earlier this week, Mr. Sanchez authorized his team to coordinate with Mr. Bezos' counsel concerning payment of the judgment," 

"Had Mr. Bezos' attorneys bothered to reach out to Mr. Sanchez' counsel before filing a lawsuit against him, they would have known that to be the case." Also, on Thursday, June 17, Sanchez - who is appealing the dismissal of his prior defamation suit - in a court filing asked a California judge to sanction Bezos "for pursuing frivolous motions for sanctions and to dismiss."

Bezos and Lauren Sanchez

Bezos' affair, together with Lauren Sanchez, first came into public view in early 2019. The reason behind this is that Michael Sanchez leaked intimate messages to The National Enquirer. Ever since the public knew about the relationship, the couple finalized divorces with their partners during that time. 

In April 2019, Jeff and MacKenzie finalized their divorce. Just a day later, Sanchez and Whitesell did the same and agreed to joint custody over their two children.

It's been two years since the affair came to light, and despite that, the relationship seems strong, regardless of the leaked texts, blackmail, massive divorce fund, and even interference from a possible government.

The couple met through Sanchez's then-husband Patrick Whitesell. They've been married since 2005, but the time Bezos stepped in, they were already separated since the fall of 2019. Since then, The Enquirer tracked the two "across five states and 40,000 miles, tailed them in private jets ... intimate dinner dates and 'quality time' in hidden love nests."

Bezos recently announced that he'll be stepping down as Amazon's CEO in line with being an executive chairman to his top pick for his predecessor, AWS CEO Andy Jassy.
