The lawsuit was filed by Michael Sanchez —the brother of Bezos’ girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez — and claimed Bezos falsely accused Sanchez of leaking nude photographs of Bezos to the National Enquirer.
The lawsuit, which has become a months-long legal battle, was thrown out on when Judge John P. Doyle, of Los Angeles County Superior Court, said the case was based on hearsay and lacked admissible evidence.
The judge also threw out the claim Sanchez filed for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
In January 2019, the Enquirer published detailed messages and photographs which revealed Bezos was in a relationship with Lauren Sanchez. At the time, both Lauren and Bezos were in separate marriages.
Bezos responded to the scandal in a blog post, where he accused American Media Inc., the tabloid’s then-publisher, and its then-CEO, David Pecker, of trying to blackmail him.
Shortly following the story and blog post, multiple media outlets reported that Michael Sanchez had been the source.
In February, Sanchez filed a lawsuit accusing Bezos and his head of security, Gavin de Becker, for defamation. Sanchez said that Bezos had inaccurately told media outlets that Sanchez had leaked the nude photographs to the National Enquirer.
In court filings, Bezos denied accusing Sanchez of leaking nude photos.
“We respectfully disagree with the trial court’s ruling and look forward to vindicating Mr. Sanchez’s claims on appeal,” a lawyer for Mr. Sanchez told journalists.
