Jeff Bezos criticizes the media for fabricating the story of Lauren Sanchez’s wedding.

Jeff Bezos has responded forcefully to rumors circulating about his upcoming wedding to fiancée Lauren Sanchez. The reports claimed that the couple would be tying the knot next weekend at Kevin Costner’s ranch in Aspen, followed by a reception at the high-end sushi restaurant Matsuhisa, with 180 guests in attendance.

Bezos took to social media to deny the claims, stating emphatically, “This whole thing is completely false – none of this is happening. The old adage, ‘don’t believe everything you read,’ is even more true today than it ever has been.” He went on to critique the media’s handling of such stories, adding, “Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on.”

Despite the false reports, it’s no secret that Bezos and Sanchez are planning their wedding. Lauren has shared that she has already picked out her wedding dress, signaling the couple’s progress in preparing for their big day. However, no official date has been confirmed, and the pair has kept further details under wraps.
