Last week, celebrities from all corners of the industry flocked over to Italy to watch Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos tie the knot in Venice.
On the star-studded guest list, we had A-list actors, singers, models, sports stars, entrepreneurs, media moguls, and the whole Kardashian/Jenner clan (minus Kourtney), all of whom were dressed to the nines as they stepped out across several days of extravagant celebrations.
But, away from the glitz and glam of it all, there has been a lot of negative chatter surrounding the wedding, particularly about the intense pushback from the Venetian locals and environmental groups, who protested the wedding, citing over-tourism concerns.
In light of all this, and the general skepticism towards billionaires (particularly those with ties to Donald Trump), there were some raised eyebrows in the direction of the celebs who attended the wedding festivities, which Forbes estimates may have cost around $25 million.
But, someone who wasn’t at the wedding was Charlize Theron. And while speaking at the fifth annual Block Party for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on Saturday night, the Oscar-winner made an interesting — and maybe slightly shady — remark about the number of her A-list peers celebrating with the Bezoses in Italy.
Kicking off the charity event, Charlize reportedly deadpanned on stage: “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.”
Of course, it’s hard to know whether she was being serious or merely making a topical joke, but either way, I’m sure plenty of people would agree with the sentiment. LMK your thoughts in the comments.
