According to the New York Post, in 2022, Sakoya Blackwood initially messaged Adam Aron in March, claiming to be a 17-year-old Russian model. Throughout their conversation, the AMC CEO, who was married to Abbe Kahn at the time, mistakenly sent photos and videos, thinking he was communicating with a ballerina with whom he had been involved in “unmentionable things” during a previous relationship.
To extort money from Adam, Sakoya created various fictional characters, including a fabricated ex-boyfriend and a fictitious Vanity Fair reporter, who purported to have seen the messages and offered to pay for an exposé. While posing as the ex-boyfriend, Blackwood texted Adam Aron, stating, “Offers are coming in like crazy ppl love a scandal.”
The alleged perpetrator also admitted to having the unlisted cell phone numbers of six AMC board directors, which she could use to threaten Adam Aron’s job security. While pretending to be the ex-boyfriend, she threatened to publicly release the photos unless she received $300,000, as reported by CBS.
Adam Aron released a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter on Thursday, where he began by saying: “Rather than succumb to blackmail, I personally sought legal counsel and engaged other professional advisors, reporting the matter to law enforcement. I did this fully aware that it might result in personal embarrassment. With my access to resources, if I did not stand up against blackmail, who could?”
He then explained that a robust federal criminal investigation was launched, leading to the arrest and felony conviction of Sakoya Blackwood. She was sentenced to “nearly a year in jail” in July, as per The New York Post.
