LS ‘Charlize Theron slams Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s $50M wedding: ‘They suck”

Actress Charlize Theron has slammed Jeff Bezos and his new bride, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, for throwing a star-studded $50 million wedding in Venice, Italy.

The Oscar winner, 49, didn’t mince words as she blasted the billionaire Amazon founder and his new wife for hosting the who’s who of Hollywood at their Venetian nuptials last week.

While hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on Saturday, Theron couldn’t help but take aim at the pair’s lavish three-day wedding extravaganza.

“I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” Theron deadpanned onstage at the Los Angeles event.

“But that’s OK because they suck and we’re cool,” she added, per the Hollywood Reporter.

The “Old Guard” star thanked her guests for “taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it’s burning because it is.”

“Here in Los Angeles, in the US and across the globe, we’re moving backwards fast,” she went on.

“Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women’s rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn’t just policy, it’s personal.” 

“Yeah, f–k them,” she added.

Meanwhile, other famous faces excluded from the wedding celebrations decided to rally around Bezos’ ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott.

Scott, 55, who divorced the world’s richest man in 2019 after 25 years of marriage, walked away with $38 billion and a 4% stake in Amazon.

While she’s kept a largely low profile following the public split, Scott generously pledged to give away at least half of her wealth.

On Saturday, Hollywood actress Mia Farrow, 80, took to social media to share a throwback snap of Scott on Instagram.

“How awesome is MacKenzie Scott! (Jeff Bezos’ first wife and mother of his 4 children),” Farrow wrote.

“As of mid-December 2024, she had given a total of $19.3 billion to over 1600 charitable organizations.”

It wasn’t long before fellow celebs rushed to the comments section to praise Scott.

“Truly incredible,” wrote actress Olivia Munn, while author Cheryl Strayed added, “She’s incredible.”

“She’s a force of humanity and good,” actress Rosanna Arquette wrote.

Elsewhere, Katie Couric slammed Sánchez’s Dolce & Gabbana gown as “tacky” in a scathing Instagram comment following her wedding.

“Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back,” she wrote in an Instagram comment under a now-deleted post shared by John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg.

Couric wasted no time in jumping on the bandwagon, and an hour later, left the “tacky” comment, to which Schlossberg replied, “Let’s bring back scrunchies,” a reference to the ’80s hair accessory famously roasted on “Sex and the City.”
