Michael Sanchez, brother of Jeff Bezos’ mistress, Lauren, denies leaking the scandalous “dick pics” of Bezos and his sister but wouldn’t categorically do so when asked if he leaked the couple’s steamy text messages to the media.

“I’m not saying I didn’t do something,” answered Michael Sanchez when confronted with the question about the intimate texts by Vanity Fair. Astoundingly, Sanchez claims he was acting in the couple’s best interest when he leaked the private text messages copied from Lauren’s mobile phone.

Equally surprising is Michael insistence he “loves Jeff” and wants his sister’s relationship to succeed.

Michael talked at length about his role in his sister’s now very public relationship with Bezos, the richest person in the world with a net worth of $136 billion.

He claims that over the last year, he became the couple’s “unofficial adviser” when they discussed what might happen if their love affair was exposed. When Lauren and Bezos began their affair, the latter was a very much married man. Jeff’s wife, Mackenzie, in January agreed to an amicable separation after a marriage lasting 25 years.

Michael said his sister and Bezos “were talking marriage. The three of us had discussed before that, at some point, this was going to be a scandal. My advice was, let’s get to the other side. Our analogy was always that they were landing a 747. I told them, ‘You’re both pilots and you’ve never landed a 747, but that’s what we’re trying to do here.’”

As for the nude photos, Sanchez was adamant he wasn’t the source of the pictures the National Enquirer threatened to publish if Bezos didn’t stop investigating who the source of the pictures is.

These “below-the-belt selfies” are at the core of Bezos’s claim the National Enquirer extorted him in return for not publishing the dick pics.

“I had nothing to do with leak of the dick pics. That’s the important thing,” said Michael to Vanity Fair. “I never had access. It’s clear they were sent to others.

“There are, like, 20 dick pics. Lauren likely shared them with multiple girlfriends, not in a malicious way, that’s not her style, but when she’s in love, she got a kick out of sharing them. One time she tried to show me one and I was like, ‘What the fuck is wrong with you? I don’t want to see that!’”

He said Lauren and Jeff agreed to a temporary 30 day separation after the scandal broke.
