Lauren Sánchez, the 54-year-old fiancée of Jeff Bezos, found herself in need of public image management. In a surprising turn of events, she sought advice from former President Donald Trump’s advisor, Kellyanne Conway, at a party in 2020. The unauthorized book by Wall Street Journal reporter Dana Mattioli sheds light on this interaction, where Sánchez asked Conway how she handles the criticism thrown at her. While Conway didn’t offer concrete advice, she did extend a gesture of goodwill by offering to go on a jog with Sánchez, who took her exercise routine seriously.
Celebrity Support Amidst Social Media Attacks
Following a random attack on social media by restaurateur Keith McNally, where he described Sánchez as “revolting,” celebrities rallied to support her. In response, Sánchez pushed back with two pointed messages of her own, emphasizing that how others perceive her is not a reflection of her true self. The situation took a bizarre turn when socialite Michelle Manning Barish captured a rat scurrying through McNally’s Soho hotspot, seemingly as a form of karma for his derogatory comments about Sánchez’s appearance. McNally, claiming it was a setup in retaliation, narrated an odd incident involving white domesticated mice escaping from a suspicious man at his bar.
