AMC CEO Adam Aron shared explicit photos with woman who then tried to blackmail him

AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron is putting his best spin on a potentially embarrassing situation.

The executive took to social media on Thursday after the news website Semafor published a story detailing an extortion attempt of Aron by Sakoya Blackwood, a New York woman who pleaded guilty to a federal charge of cyberstalking this summer.

Aron said he had opted not to cave to demands for money from Blackwood, even though he knew he could face public backlash.
