Accusations Fly: Cheating Claims From Anthony Miller

One of Laurens earliest relationships that was also high profile was with former Denver Broncos tight end Anthony Miller. They were together for four years after a random meet-cute at the Super Bowl XXX preview back in 1996.

In 2019, Miller recounted to the Daily Mail that Lauren had pressured him into moving towards engagement after two years of dating. He eventually gave her a ring, but more to reassure her than to truly move the relationship forward. The former NFL star also said that although she had a thriving career while they were together, Lauren still expected him to cover all of their expenses and bills.

I couldnt really trust her, he said. She gets around. She was cheating on me with other guys. I found out when I looked in her diary. He went on to say that he found out more after they broke up. But on the contrary, an insider stated that Miller was actually the one who was unfaithful, claiming that hed cheated on Lauren with an exotic dancer, and shed taken him back anyway. He later denied these claims.

The same source also said that Millers claims that Lauren was cheap and didnt want to spend any of her money were untrue, as she was a millionaire during their romance. An insider with Page Six stated that Laurens relationship history was a huge red flag, one that Jeff Bezos seemed to ignore. They went on to say that he was seriously stupid for marrying her, they added that hes already seriously stupid for giving up half his fortune for her.

Laurens Brother May Have Been The Leak Who Shared Her Bezos Texts

Almost a month after the National Enquirer leaked the spicy texts between Jeff and Lauren, CBS News reported a theory that tied Laurens own brother, Michael Sanchese as the one who potentially leaked them.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Michael did not deny his involvement totally. Im not saying I didnt do something, he said. But he claims that he did not leak the nude images of Bezos, suggesting that Lauren may have shared those intimate texts with friends in private. He did confess that he was upset that Lauren once tried to show him racy images, and that prompted his disapproval.
