Rosie O’Donnell wrote in an Instagram post that she was sickened by Jeff Bezos‘ lavish wedding to Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy. The days-long event featured a ton of A-list celebrities, from Sydney Sweeney to Leonardo DiCaprio, and prompted widespread backlash and protests from Venice locals.
“The Bezos’ wedding. It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it,” O’Donnell wrote before calling out Oprah for her attendance at the event.
“Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos? Really? How is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man. And his fake fem bot wife who looks like that… Why would he choose her after the salt of the earth Mackenzie [Scott]? Sold his soul is what it looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all his conquests.”
Oprah attended the Bezos wedding with longtime friend Gayle King, who is well-acquainted with Sanchez after their space flight together earlier this year courtesy of Bezos’ Blue Origin company. O’Donnell expanded on her anti-Bezos thoughts in a post on her Substack page.
Other celebrities who criticized the Bezos wedding include Oscar winner Charlize Theron, who made a quip about Bezos’ wedding guests while hosting her annual party for the Africa Outreach Project. She told attendees: “I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that’s ok because they suck and we’re cool.”
O’Donnell made headlines earlier this year for revealing she fled America after the re-election of Donald Trump. She currently lives in Ireland and told Variety she has no plans on returning to the U.S. until Trump is out of office.
“With the current political climate, when would it be safe to come back with my child?” she asked. “I’m not going to push it before this administration is completely finished, and hopefully held accountable for their crimes.”
