Jeff Bezos has filed a lawsuit against Michael Sanchez, who is the brother of his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez.
You might remember that Michael was previously accused of leaking Jeff and Lauren‘s intimate text messages to the press before their relationship was public.
Well, Michael later sued Jeff for defamation, but a judge threw out the case and ordered him to pay the legal bills for Jeff and his private investigator. He was on the hook for $254,404.

Now, Jeff is suing Michael because he hasn’t forked over the money he owes from losing the case.
Michael‘s lawyer released a statement to TMZ and accused Jeff of bullying.
“The world has been accusing Mr. Bezos of not paying his fair share of taxes, exploiting Amazon employees, and spreading fake conspiracy theories about the future king of Saudi Arabia. You can now add bullying his future brother-in-law to the list,” the lawyer said.
He continued, “As Mr. Bezos well knows, Mr. Sanchez’ attorneys are aggressively pursuing an appeal of the anti-SLAPP judgment. If successful, Mr. Sanchez will owe Mr. Bezos nothing. Nevertheless, 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.”
