Comedian and actress Rosie O’Donnell has criticized billionaire Jeff Bezos’ recent wedding to Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy. In an Instagram post, O’Donnell expressed her disdain for the lavish event, which featured many A-list celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey.
O’Donnell targeted Bezos, saying he is “not a nice man” who treats his employees poorly. She also criticized his choice of wife, calling her a “fake fem bot”. The comedian’s comments sparked backlash, with some defending Bezos and others agreeing with O’Donnell.
Bezos has been embroiled in controversy over the past few years, including criticism from celebrities like Charlize Theron and Oscar winner Sydney Sweeney. However, it appears that not everyone was invited to his wedding, prompting a witty response from O’Donnell on her Substack page: “Imagine being a millionaire hating on billionaires while poor people hate on you… Vicious cycle that will never end.”
The comedian has been living in Ireland since the re-election of Donald Trump and does not plan on returning to the US until he is out of office. Her comments have sparked debate about class inequality and the double standards faced by wealthy individuals like Bezos.
