They used to call her the “Queen of Nice” when she hosted her own talk show, butRosie O’Donnellis not holding back her disdain when it comes to the lavish wedding ofJeff Bezosand Lauren Sánchez. The pair said “I do” in Venice, Italy, which involved not only the wedding but a series of events over several days that included a slew of A-list celebrities. It has garnered criticism from some, particularly those who think it was in poor taste to have a wedding full of excess, given that Bezos has been accused of not treating his Amazon employees very well. One of the many big names there was Oprah Winfrey, and O’Donnell is calling her out in particular for attending the nuptials.
O’Donnell took to her Instagram to slam the wedding by saying, “The Bezos wedding. It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it.” Even though other big names, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sydney Sweeney,Kim Kardashian, and more were in attendance, O’Donnell took particular aim at Winfrey for her attendance at the event, given what she has stood for throughout her career.
“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.”

Bezos has drawn considerable criticism due to various concerns regarding how his Amazon employees are treated and their workplace conditions. Due to his massive wealth, many feel that there is no excuse for these conditions to take place in their warehouses, including employees not receiving adequate time for their breaks, which has allegedly led to workers complaining about being burnt out on the job. Bezos also wasn’t perceived well during the COVID-19 pandemic because, as he accumulated more wealth, many struggled, and some felt he should’ve used his assets to help out his employees more and the society at large.
Rosie O’Donnell Wasn’t the Only One That Called Out Jeff Bezos
Rosie O’Donnell wasn’t the only person to share their opinion on the extravagant Bezos wedding. Charlize Theron hosted an African Outreach Project during the time of the wedding, and she made a colorful remark about the guests attending the wedding by saying, “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.” Non-famous criticism was also present on social media, with many echoing the poor taste of the event.
On the other hand, it was a bit wrong of O’Donnell to attack Lauren Sánchez’s looks in her post, complete with an image that was a comment on her getting plastic surgery. O’Donnell was once the subject of attacks about her looks by President Donald Trump, so she, of all people, should know that it is an unnecessary low blow.
Winfrey was a guest of her best friend, Gayle King, at the wedding, as King is a friend of Sánchez’s. The pair went on the space flight together thanks toBezos' Blue Origin Company, another event that garnered criticism from the media and the world at large.
