A look back at when the National Enquirer, under Dylan Howard's leadership, cited an 18-month investigation alleging that Charlie Sheen is HIV-positive and had known for four years latimes.com/entertainment/…
Even by National Enquirer's standards, Howard had a reputation as a gossip hunter, serving up salacious scoops.

In 2016, Howard became part of the story. @WSJ reported National Enquirer's publisher paid $150k to buy the rights but not publish Playboy model Karen McDougal’s claims of having an affair with Trump
In #CatchAndKill, @RonanFarrow accused Howard of compiling negative stories about Trump from its publisher's archives, never running them & later destroying the docs
Farrow also reported Howard’s "alliance" w/ Harvey Weinstein. His statement at the time⬇️ latimes.com/entertainment-…

By last year, Howard’s power appeared to dwindle, after Jeff Bezos claimed National Enquirer & AMI threatened to publish intimate photos of him unless he squashed an investigation into how they acquired texts about his extramarital affair w/ Lauren Sanchez latimes.com/business/holly…
And in recent years, Howard became the subject of 2 internal investigations for alleged misconduct.
The Times spoke with 5 former staffers who worked with him in L.A. Howard & AMI called the allegations “baseless.”
