According to a bombshell report, Lauren Sanchez begged former Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway for help with her public image when they met at a party.
Dana Mattioli, who wrote a book titled “The Everything War: Amazon’s Ruthless Quest to Own the World and Remake Corporate Power,” revealed the unlikely relationship between Jeff Bezos’ wife and Conway when Sanchez asked for “guidance” on how to deal with media supervision.
Mattoli’s book, reviewed by The everyday beast, said Sanchez approached Conway at a party in 2020 and said, “You’ve had a lot coming at you. How do you deal with it?’
At the time, the relationship between Sanchez and Bezos was new and all over the media. Mattoli said Conway responded flatteringly.
“Please, have you looked in the mirror? People are jealous of you,” Mattoli reported Conway saying.

Mattoli reported that Conway responded flatteringly to Sánchez and suggested they “go for a slow jog around the neighborhood.”
“I would say they’re jealous because you’re dating him,” she added, referring to Bezos – the third richest person in the world.
As the night progressed, Mattoli said Sanchez and Conway “took a slow jog around the neighborhood.”
“It was a gesture of goodwill, knowing how seriously Sánchez took the exercise,” Mattoli added.
Bezos and former President Trump had a somewhat rocky relationship when Trump turned against Bezos over the “fake news” about him in his newspaper The Washington Post.
“The #AmazonWashingtonPost, aka Amazon’s guardian that doesn’t pay internet taxes (which they should), is FAKE NEWS!” the president tweeted in 2017.
Trump has targeted Bezos in the past, saying during the previous presidential campaign that the Amazon founder used the Post – which he bought for $250 million in 2013 – as a propaganda tool to help his online retail business.
“Amazon is getting away with murder fiscally,” he told Fox News, claiming Bezos is “using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don’t tax Amazon the way they should be taxed.”
The Post previously published an embarrassing story revealing that a framed TIME magazine cover featuring Trump, posted at several golf courses and other properties owned by the president, was faked using Photoshop.
The next day’s edition of the newspaper produced a printed drumbeat of anti-Republican stories that tormented him with alternately pointed fingers of ridicule and reproach.

“Repeal and replace” was once a unifying factor for the Republican Party. Now it’s an albatross,” read one headline, excoriating the president for wasting political capital on a quixotic effort to repeal Obamacare.
‘Who’s Afraid of Trump? Not enough Republicans – at least for now,” reads another topper, arguing that the president’s bully diplomacy has lost its ability to generate both respect and fear.
The final straw, however, may have been an article the Post published just two minutes before Trump’s “#AmazonWashingtonPost” tweet.
“Trump has given us no reason to believe he knows anything about health care policy,” the headline read.
A year later, Trump urged Washington Post staff to strike, saying he wanted to do so because “Bezos doesn’t pay them enough.”

‘I think a very long strike would be a great idea. Employees would get more money and we would be rid of Fake News for a longer time! Is @WaPo a registered lobbyist?’
The tweet came after more than 400 Post employees signed a public letter to Bezos asking him to improve working conditions at the newspaper after more than a year of failed negotiations with upper management.
Lauren Sanchez found herself at the center of a media storm last week after British restaurateur Keith McNally scathingly said she was ‘disgusting’.
In the unprovoked rant shared Monday, McNally attacked Bezos and Sanchez, saying, “Anyone else find Jeff Bezos’ new wife – Lauren Sanchez – ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED?”
‘What an ugly and damned smug looking bunch they make. Is this what having $1 trillion does to people?”
He has since sparked outrage on social media, with former TV presenter Sanchez sharing a very pointed message on Tuesday night and some of her high-profile friends coming to her defence.
