Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Reportedly ‘Livid' Over Charlize Theron's Criticism of Their Wedding as They Plan to Get Revenge on the Actress
And Bezos was reportedly not pleased. According to a report from celebrity reporter Rob Shuter, Bezos was 'livid' with her comments, and Sanchez had to be 'talked down' from saying something against the actress on Instagram. Reportedly, the two are taking revenge on the actress, too. Theron has now been banned from anything Bezos-adjacent, including yacht weekends, Blue Origin launches, and any future charity galas sponsored by the couple.

What exactly did she say? On June 28, while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on Saturday, Theron told attendees, 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,' poking fun at the star-studded event.
'But that's OK because they suck and we're cool,' Theron added, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The actress then pointed out the current political climate, saying, 'Here in Los Angeles, in the US and across the globe, we're moving backwards fast.' She added, '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,' making it clear that she disagreed with the moment and the type of celebration.
Theron might be one of the biggest names to criticize the lavish affair, and one of the ones who had the strongest public words, but she's not the only one who has said something. Katie Couric made a dig at Lauren Sanchez's wedding dress in a since-deleted Instagram comment that reportedly read, 'Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back.' Ouch.
Meanwhile, Rosie O'Donnell criticized Bezos in particular and the wedding in general in a June 29 Substack post. 'The BEZOS wedding, it turned my stomach. Seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all,' 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.'
Others chose a more subtle way of showing their disapproval, but one that was clear just the same. Mia Farrow and Olivia Munn were among the celebrities who took the time to praise Bezos' ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, for her philanthropy in the years since her divorce. Not the same as outright criticism, but also a very obvious dig at both Bezos and especially, his new bride.
And though Theron was reportedly the one who drew the ire of Bezos and Sanchez, it's likely none of these celebrities will be invited to the next party. To their credit, they don't seem to care.

Dakota Johnson Kicks Off Her Single Girl Summer in a Tiny White swimsuit
THE RUNDOWN Dakota Johnson was photographed in a white swimsuit while on vacation in Ibiza, Spain, with Kate Hudson. The photos offer the first look at Johnson during her downtime since news of her split from Chris Martin broke last month. A source recently told People that Johnson is 'doing well' and 'doesn't want to have any regrets.' Dakota Johnson is making the most of summer—and her new chapter as a single woman. The actress was photographed with Kate Hudson on a yacht in Ibiza, Spain. Johnson wore a tiny white swimsuit with her hair styled down. You can see the photos here on People. The star just finished her press tour for Materialists. During the circuit, People reported that Johnson and her partner of eight years, Chris Martin, had quietly broken up. 'It feels final this time,' a source told the outlet. Multiple sources told People their relationship had been on-off. Johnson hasn't addressed the relationship status change herself, but she kept her romance with Martin largely private. On June 23, a source close to Johnson told People that she is 'doing well,' though. 'The split wasn't exactly a shock,' the source explained. '[They] had the same issues for a while.' 'She wants to live her life very intentionally—she doesn't want to have any regrets,' the insider continued. 'She loves all her creative projects and is excited about her career. She believes there is more to life than work though. She wants a meaningful life on all levels.' Johnson recently spoke with ELLE UK about her relationship history while discussing what drew her to play a matchmaker in Celine Song's Materialists. '[I] loved that Celine used to be a matchmaker in real life,' she said. 'I find the whole concept of the film so interesting, because it's so foreign to me. I've never dated anybody. I've had boyfriends, but I have never been on a dating app. I just don't know that world. So, it was so interesting and intriguing. It's the most beautiful side of humanity, but it can also be the most ugly. Loving someone is the most scary and beautiful thing you can do.'
