Charlize Theron Faces Backlash for Comments on Jeff Bezos' $50 Million Wedding

Charlize Theron received criticism for her remarks about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's $50 million wedding. The Oscar winner joked at a charity event, saying the wedding guests 'suck and we're cool.' Some took offense and criticized her on social media.

Theron, worth an estimated $170 million, made the comments at the Block Party charity event supporting her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project. She joked about not being invited to the lavish wedding, which included celebrities like Tom Brady and the Kardashians.

While some fans defended Theron, others called her bitter and jealous. Theron also criticized Trump-era politics and policies on immigration, abortion, and LGBT rights during her speech.

Theron, originally from South Africa, founded CTAOP in 2007 to support young people in Southern Africa. She has a personal connection to immigration issues, having been deported at 19 for overstaying her visa before becoming a US citizen in 2007.

The Bezos-Sanchez wedding in Venice, Italy, faced protests for its extravagance. Critics questioned Bezos's low tax rate and the cost of the wedding, estimated to be in the tens of millions.

Despite the backlash, local officials supported the event, citing economic benefits for Venice. The wedding, attended by VIPs like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kylie Jenner, was dubbed 'the wedding of the century.'
