Jeff Bezos' bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez sued right before fairytale wedding — here's what the lawsuit is

Just days before marrying Jeff Bezos in a grand Venice wedding, Lauren Sanchez has been hit with a shocking lawsuit. Her former friend Alanna Zabel accuses her of stealing the idea for a bestselling kid's book out of revenge. Zabel says the book 'The Fly Who Flew To Space' is copied from her book 'Dharma Kitty Goes to Mars', as per the report by DailyMail. Fallout between former friends Zabel says Sanchez copied the story page by page, and even the plot and scenes are the same. The two used to be close friends. Zabel gave Sanchez gifts and private yoga lessons. Sanchez once shared personal details with Zabel, about plastic surgeries, relationships, and even called herself 'Monica' as a joke about liking Bill Clinton, according to DailyMail. In 2009, things got bad at Sanchez's 40th birthday party when they danced to 'Boom Boom Pow.' People clapped more for Zabel's dance moves, and Sanchez got mad and dramatically turned her back on her. Zabel felt hurt, stopped giving her yoga lessons, and walked out. From then on, Zabel says Sanchez held a grudge and later stole her book idea for revenge.
