Rosie O'Donnell unleashes scathing criticism of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's 'gross excess' wedding
Rosie O'Donnell is sharing her two cents when it comes to Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos' lavish, three-day Italian wedding.
On Monday, O'Donnell took to Instagram and shared side-by-side photos of Sánchez with "then and now" printed at the bottom.
"The BEZOS wedding. It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all, the show of it. 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," O'Donnell's caption began.
She continued by attacking Sánchez's appearance and praising Bezos' ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott.
"And his fake fem bot wife. Who looks like that? Why would he choose her? After the salt of the earth MacKenzie. Sold his soul is what it looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all his conquests," she concluded.
O'Donnell shared that she continued her commentary about Bezos' wedding on her Substack account.
On her Substack account, O'Donnell wrote, "Bezos was raised by a single mother. He knows exactly what he does. So do all of his guests. Posing for photos forgetting themselves. In their designer outfits. Ready for a 'Vogue' cover. A spot on ET. More worthless performative nonsense."
She mentioned the Trump administration and how citizens have "become numb to gross excess. We have learned to tolerate it."
"Celebrity worship. Devoid of humanity... As we worship the ones hurting us. Numbly asking for nothing. In an American stupor. Of [our] own making," O'Donnell continued.
Representatives for the newlyweds did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
The couple were married Friday, June 27, on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore with A-list stars packing the guest list.
Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Tom Brady and Sydney Sweeney were just a few of the stars in town for the Amazon founder's wedding.
O'Donnell isn't the only celebrity who has taken aim at the Bezos-Sanchez wedding.
Charlize Theron voiced her thoughts on Saturday while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on the Universal Studios backlot.
Before diving into immigration policy issues, the Oscar-winner slammed the Bezos bash and its attendees.
"I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding," Theron told the crowd, per The Hollywood Reporter. "But that's OK because they suck, and we're cool."

Lizzo taps into Lizzo Wayne on ‘MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING' rap mixtape
Key takeaways: Trending Clipse unveil full 'Let God Sort Em Out' track list with Kendrick, Nas, Tyler, The Creator and more Rihanna says baby No. 3 will have an 'R' name like big brothers RZA and Riot 10 viral Denzel Washington moments that had everyone talking Lizzo introduces her rap alter ego, Lizzo Wayne, on the mixtape MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING. Created in just four days, the project is an unedited journey into her mind before releasing the forthcoming album Love in Real Life. Lizzo is introducing the world to her rap persona on MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING. The 34-minute mixtape dropped on Friday (June 27) and reminds music fanatics that the Detroit native is a creative who cannot be confined by genre or outside expectations. The project features guest appearances from Doja Cat, SZA, and a host of Lizzo's lyrical personalities. There is the one who just wants to make some new mistakes, the ratchet version who's twerking in Yitty, and the 'CRASHOUT,' just to name a few. Globally, the classically trained flutist is known for being the pop star behind hits like 'Good As Hell' and 'Truth Hurts,' so for some fans, hearing her declare, 'It's a Lizzo summer, b**ch,' may be the first that they are learning about this side of her—but it has always been there. According to Lizzo, one of her biggest records, 'About D**n Time,' started as a freestyle before its final iteration landed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2022. 'I think that's how I start with everything. It's like a freestyle, and it's typically kind of rappity, and then I add melodies. Then, I go in and adjust the lyrics, like, 'Can I say this? Can you say this in pop music?' With this project, I'm like, 'Man. The first thing that comes out [of] my mouth, I'm gonna say it. I'm not gonna edit myself,'' she told Billboard. Before her pop stardom, Lizzo was part of rap groups Cornrow Clique and Chalice. On MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING, she returns to that foundation, flowing over Houston-inspired beats with witty rhymes, and leaning into the magic of some of Hip Hop's most influential artists. 'I remember I kept saying Lil Wayne was the person I wanna be. I wanna be like Mixtape Wayne when I do this, but I always have a little bit of Missy Elliott in me—at all times. She's just a part of me. So I definitely tapped into Missy,' the four-time Grammy Award recipient shared. She even admitted, 'I was calling myself Lizzo Wayne.' Lizzo revealed the uncensored project came together in four days, rivaling the endless months that her past albums required. Next up, though, is Love in Real Life. 'What I learned from this mixtape I'm going to put into Love in Real Life," she explained. Adding, "Really, what I learned from this is trust your vision, trust your instinct. Your first instinct is always right, and double down on whatever it is you like.' Moreover, the "Watch Out For The Big Grrrls" star shared, "I'm going to have to go back in and re-record some stuff. Because there's some songs that I love, but—for instance…'Still Bad' is an amazing, well-constructed pop song. The demo of it, the Animal Style demo, I liked the way that feels. So I have a lot of demo versions of songs that I might switch and swap or even put both on. Who knows? I'm feeling crazy these days.' The mixtape is a reminder that even with pop charts success and viral hits, Lizzo is a multifaceted artist with something to say. Because genre defines category the message or the messenger.
