Charlize Theron talks about Jeff Bezos’ wedding guests

Charlize Theron kicked off her speech by commenting on the extravagant wedding of Jeff Bezos. “It seems we were the only ones not invited to the Bezos wedding,” she quipped, “but that’s alright because they’re tacky and we’re hip.” The actress made light of the situation with a joke.

On June 27, 2025, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez exchanged vows at the San Giorgio Maggiore church in Venice. They also hosted various exclusive events such as a gala inspired by The Great Gatsby and a cozy pajama party. A host of celebrities graced the occasion, including Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, among others.

As a passionate admirer, I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude for gracing us with your presence, particularly at a time when the world seems to be ablaze. Here in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, the U.S., and beyond, it feels as though we are taking steps backward rather than forward.

The Oscar-winning actress then went on to strongly criticize the US immigration policy, stating that it “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.” As the crowd erupted in cheer, Theron passionately added, “Yeah, f*** them.” (via The Hollywood Reporter)

The extravagant wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez garnered significant media interest, not only due to its star-studded guest list but also because it ignited public fury. In Venice, demonstrators united to call on Bezos to pay higher taxes. Most notably, the global environmental group Greenpeace unfurled a large banner displaying Bezos’ face with the statement: “If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you should pay more tax.” The local activist group No Space for Bezos criticized the wedding as a representation of the city being exploited by outsiders, stating that “Venice is now merely an asset.” (Adapted from BBC)
