Parker strongly denied the would-be story in her post: “There was no ‘screaming match’ as alleged in a restaurant or on the street, nor was there a confrontation as alleged,” she wrote, tagging her reply with the hashtag “#celebrityharassment.” In February, Amazon chief executive and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos said the Enquirer had tried to blackmail him by threatening to publish intimate photos unless he made a public statement favorable to the publication .
