Oscar winning actress Charlize Theron has slammed Jeff Bezos’ celebrity-stacked wedding to Lauren Sánchez after the Mad Max: Fury Road actress failed to score an invite.
Charlize Theron has ripped into attendees of billionaire Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos’ wedding to journalist Lauren Sánchez in a blistering speech at a Hollywood event.
The Monster actress, 49, deliever the caustic remarks while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project in Los Angeles on Saturday.
“I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” the actress deadpanned onstage during the event on the Universal Studios backlot.
“But that’s OK because they suck and we’re cool,” Theron added, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The Oscar winner went on to thank her guests for “taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it’s burning because it is.”
Theron continued, “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.”
As the crowd applauded her remarks, she reportedly added, “Yeah, f**k them.”

However, the over-the-top affair was met with backlash from Venice protesters who demanded Bezos, 61, pay more taxes.
Prior to the wedding, international environmental group Greenpeace displayed a large banner directed at the Amazon founder in St. Mark’s Square.

A laughing Bezos was pictured alongside the words: “If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax.”
The organization also took to Instagram to share a video of banner being unveiled, claiming in their caption, “Jeff Bezos pays his staff poverty wages and dodges tax. No wonder he can afford to shut down half of Venice for his wedding this week.”
