With Charlize Theron saying that Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos and their celebrity wedding guests “suck,” and people online calling them the “worst people on the planet,” at least one famous friend of the newlyweds found a way to avoid their “tacky,” $50 million Venice extravaganza and the public relations drubbing that’s come with it.
For some reason, Eva Longoria decided to stay in Spain, where she is currently living, and go on a family beach outing, as the Daily Mail reported.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - DECEMBER 05: (L-R) Eva Longoria and Lauren Sanchez attend ELLE's 2023 Women in Hollywood Celebration Presented by Ralph Lauren, Harry Winston and Viarae at Nya Studios on December 05, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Charley Gallay/Getty Images for ELLE )The “Desperate Housewives” actor, who is known to be one of Sanchez’s BFFs and was reported to be a member of her “bride tribe,” could have hopped on a four-hour flight to Venice to attend the ceremony on Friday. Instead, Longoria opted to stay in Spain — and “sizzle” on the beach in a tiny pink bikini on Saturday, as the Daily Mail said. The U.K. outlet published photos of Longoria’s “sizzle” and said she could potentially steal attention from Sanchez, as if that was possible over the weekend.
It’s hard to believe that Longoria had obligations with family or her CNN travel show that would have kept her from the wedding of the year in Venice. But in skipping the ceremony, she avoided being seen among the excesses of Sanchez’s omnipresent décolletage and Bezos’s “walking penis” look, as well as is need to flaunt his $237 billion fortune. Longoria also could protect her public image from being associated with local protests against the three-day “takeover” of Venice by the oligarchic, Trump-friendly newlyweds.
Now, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sydney Sweeney, Orlando Bloom, Bill Gates and the Kardashians have to live down that association. Of course, the Kardashians — especially Kim Kardashian — have long shown a shamelessness about consorting with controversial figures, including with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who, not surprisingly, were guests at the wedding. But Winfrey and DiCaprio, especially, like to be seen as advocates for regular people or for progressive causes, such as the environment or promoting 2024 efforts to stop Donald Trump from becoming president again.
Now Winfrey, DiCaprio and everyone associated with the Bezos-Sanchez wedding “suck,” as Theron said at a gala Saturday night on behalf of her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, Page Six reported. “I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” the Oscar winner deadpanned onstage at the party. “But that’s OK because they suck and we’re cool.”
Katie Couric also slammed Sanchez’s bridal look, including her “tacky” Dolce & Gabbana gown, according to TMZ. The journalist said on Instagram Friday: “Welcome to the eighties—when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled.”
Meanwhile, Olivia Munn joined a number of other female A-listers in throwing shade at the Amazon founder especially by praising his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, over the weekend, Page Six reported. Munn replied “truly incredible” to an Instagram post by Mia Farrow, which told how Scott, Bezos’s first wife and the mother of his four children, had given more than $19 billion to more than 1,600 charitable organizations as of December 2024. Katie Holmes, Sarah Jessica Parker and Rosanna Arquette also responded positively to Farrow’s post.
Longoria has reasons for not wanting to be on the receiving end of anti-Sanchez and Bezos criticism. She has tried to carve out a side career for herself as a well-known activist on behalf of the less fortunate. Perhaps as much or more than Winfrey, she also campaigned on behalf of Kamala Harris in 2024, and she runs a foundation in her own name to “help Latinas build better futures for themselves and their families through education and entrepreneurship.” In the wake of Trump’s crackdown on immigration, Longoria has been active on social media, blasting his police mass deportations and his allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to target Latino communities.
Longoria has previously faced backlash over her friendship with Sanchez and Bezos, especially after Bezos, who owns the Washington Post, told his editors to kill an endorsement of Harris. Reports showed that Longoria had accepted a $50 million gift from Bezos and Sanchez earlier in 2024, to be shared with nonprofits of her choice. When accepting the award, Longoria praised the couple for their “courage and civility.”
