'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 Lauren 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.'

Lauren Sánchez got pierced in a very unusual place for her wedding to Jeff Bezos
Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that the wedding of the summer - between Láuren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos - happened last weekend, and the world is still talking about it. From the A-list guest list (hello Oprah and the Kardashians) to the grandeur of the Venice ceremony itself, it was a spectacle to behold. But one smaller beauty detail is all we can think about. For her special day, Lauren got a piercing in a very unique place to declare her love to her new husband and mark the next chapter in her life (and changing her last name). The former pilot's long-time nail artist and pal, Imran Shelton, posted a close-up image of Lauren's bridal manicure. The bride opted for a classic yet chic French tip design, favoured by many famous brides-to-be, from Zendaya to Selena Gomez. However, Lauren gave the timeless look a cool twist, debuting a pierced, diamond-encrusted 'B' initial on her ring finger. It hung delicately from her nail and glistened in the Venice sunshine - a dainty yet dramatic homage to her new surname. We've now noticed that she didn't actually sport this bold piercing around Venice until the actual wedding day, which was such a nice touch. While piercing nails might sound extreme, it's actually part of a growing trend. Originating in the early 2000s Y2K era when bold, playful nail art reigned, pierced nails have made a comeback on runways and red carpets alike. Celebs like FKA Twigs and Rosalía have both sported pierced manicures in recent years, making the look a high-fashion statement for those bold enough to try it. Despite reports that Imran was shunned from the wedding, the manicurist was clearly front and centre on the big day, joining Lauren's tightly knit 'glam squad' to help bring her bridal vision to life. A traditional French tip may never go out of style, but thanks to Mrs Sánchez Bezos, it's safe to say nail piercings just had their most glamorous moment yet.

Bezos Wedding's Hollywood Dust-Up: Rosie O'Donnell Dings Oprah, Charlize Theron Says Guests ‘Suck' and More
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding sure brought out the celebrities, both in attendance – and those criticizing the event. Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Sydney Sweeney and more attended the Venice-based wedding this past weekend. Their choice to show up to the lavish affair was ridiculed by other A-listers online. Many of them did not hold back how they felt. 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding, but that's okay because they suck and we're cool,' Charlize Theron said at the fifth annual block party for her charity – Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project – in L.A. She continued: 'Here in Los Angeles, in the U.S. 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 ended her speech succinctly with a 'yeah, f–k them.' Rosie O'Donnell also took to her Instagram to eviscerate not only the wedding but Oprah specifically for attending. '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. '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.' Katie Couric went after Sánchez's dress. The former CBS Evening News anchor left a comment critiquing the gown on a now-deleted Jack Schlossberg post, according to TMZ. 'Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled,' she wrote. 'Apparently, tacky is back.' Mia Farrow indirectly shaded the whole affair by hyping up Bezos' ex-wife Scott. It was a bit kinder way to go after the wedding than others took. 'How awesome is MacKenzie Scott! (Jeff Bezos's first wife & mother of his 4 children). As of mid-December 2024, she had given a total of $19.3 billion to over 1600 charitable organizations.' The celebrities weren't the only people calling out the reportedly $50 million wedding. The pair reportedly planned to get married in Cannaregio, in the center of the city. But mounting calls against their nuptials threatened to disrupt the wedding, which was moved elsewhere. The group said the wedding was moved to Arsenale, to the east of the original location.
