She spoke about it when she took the stage to kick off the event, which raises funds to help CTAOP support the health and safety of youth in her native South Africa. 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that's OK because they s**k and we're cool,' she said.
Charlize went on to thank attendees 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. 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,' she added.
When the crowd clapped, the Oscar winner said 'yeah, f*** them'. About the wedding
While Charlize Theron wasn't on the guest list, a star-studded crowd of A-listers and power players descended upon Venice to celebrate Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's three-day wedding bash.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos got married in a lavish Venetian ceremony despite the ongoing protests. The Amazon founder and award-winning journalist hosted a lavish wedding ceremony on June 27, following several days of celebrity-filled nuptial festivities.
Several A-list celebrities attended the wedding, which included Bezos' fellow billionaire Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, model Brooks Nader, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom and his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Kim and Khloé Kardashian, their youngest sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and family matriarch Kris Jenner.
The wedding plans in Venice sparked outrage both online and offline, with demonstrations in the area demanding that the owner of Blue Origin pay more in taxes as a result of growing dissatisfaction with wealth and class disparities worldwide. The grand wedding, which concluded on June 28, the third official day of celebrations, is projected to have cost around $50 million.

Kourtney Kardashian was the only Kardashian-Jenner sister who skipped Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's lavish Venice wedding, and fans are applauding her decision. While her sisters Kim, Khloé, Kylie and Kendall flew to Europe for what many called the 'wedding of the year,' Kourtney stayed behind with her kids. The Lemme founder shared glimpses of her quiet beach getaway with her daughter Penelope and sons Reign and Rocky instead. She posted videos of the waves and photos of herself in a black lace dress. Inside Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding turned Venice into a celebrity hotspot over the weekend. Big names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump and Sydney Sweeney joined the star-studded guest list. The celebration kicked off on Thursday, June 26, with a welcome party and continued for three days, including a ceremony and a pajama-themed afterparty. The Kardashian-Jenner family made their entrance in style. Kim and Khloé Kardashian were first seen in Venice greeting newly single Orlando Bloom. Kris Jenner, with longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble, joined her daughters on a water taxi ride through the canals. Kylie and Kendall Jenner were also seen all dressed up for the festivities. Why did Kourtney skip? Kourtney Kardashian has stayed away from the spotlight since stepping back from the family's Hulu show, The Kardashians. She is focusing on raising her children Mason, 15, Penelope, 12, Reign, 10, and baby Rocky, whom she welcomed with Travis Barker in November 2023. A source told Page Six that Kris Jenner pulled strings to get Khloé, Kendall and Kylie on the guest list. 'Originally, the quintet was going to be a duo of just Kim and Kris,' an insider said. 'But Mama Kris asked Lauren if she could bring the other three when they were in Paris for the bachelorette party.' The source added that Lauren 'barely knows [Khloé, Kendall and Kylie] outside of simple pleasantries.' Kourtney Kardashian's choice to skip Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding shows she's happy to stay home and focus on what matters most, her family. And judging by the comments, many think she made the right choice.
