Charlize Theron isn't holding back when it comes to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's extravagant wedding over the weekend.
At the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on Saturday, June 28, Theron delivered a jab at the Amazon mogul and his new wife. “I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” she quipped, per the Hollywood Reporter. “But that’s OK because they suck and we’re cool.”
The Oscar-winning actress, 49, used the moment to shift gears and address larger issues, thanking guests for attending, “especially when the world feels like it’s burning because it is.” She remarked on the struggles facing immigration policies, women's rights, and the increasing violence against marginalized communities. “Here in Los Angeles, in the US, and across the globe, we’re moving backwards fast,” she said. “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.”

While Theron was not invited to the multi-million-dollar wedding held in Venice, Italy, a host of A-list guests were in attendance, includingKim and Khloé Kardashian, Tom Brady, Oprah Winfrey, and Leonardo DiCaprio. It also included performances by Matteo Bocelli and Ellie Goulding.
However, the lavish three-day celebration also sparked protests. Environmental activists and local residents expressed their dissatisfaction with the billionaire's wedding, accusing him of exploitation and tax avoidance.
Despite the controversy, Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, quietly donated to Venice charities ahead of the event, according to Page Six.
