Cindy Crawford’s Extortion Drama
She’s the latest victim of an attempted extortion scheme, and Cindy Crawford is fighting back against her alleged blackmailer.
The former “House of Style” hottie and her husband Rande Gerber have been targeted by a friend of their former nanny who obtained a strange picture of their daughter Kaia when she was seven years old.
According to a report, Kaia was “bound to a chair and gagged” in the photo, which was explained as taken during the nanny’s cops and robbers game.
Crawford’s rep released a statement saying, “A criminal complaint was filed today in federal court in Los Angeles by the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI stating that Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have been the victims of an on-going extortion scheme. This crime has been committed by Edis Kayalar, an acquaintance of a former nanny employed by the family. Mr. Kayalar threatened to sell an image taken of the couple’s then-seven-year-old daughter. There was no previous awareness by Mr. Gerber and Ms. Crawford of the existence of the photograph when they were contacted by Mr. Kayalar. The photo was taken by the former nanny as part of a purported game without the knowledge of the parents. The couple reported the extortion threat to the police and the FBI began a criminal investigation in the matter. Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter.”
