Rosie O’Donnell says Jeff Bezos sold his soul for ‘fake fembot’ Lauren Sanchez in brutal wedding rant
DUBLIN, IRELAND: Rosie O’Donnell is not holding herself when it comes to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s extravagant Italian wedding.
The outspoken comedian took to Instagram this week to unload on the couple’s estimated $50 million celebration in Venice, calling it “gross excess” and a symbol of billionaire greed, as per TMZ.

Rosie O’Donnell slams Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's lavish wedding
In a scathing post, the 63-year-old 'The View' alum aimed personal fire at both the Amazon founder and his new wife.
O’Donnell posted what appeared to be before-and-after photos of Sanchez, taking aim at her alleged cosmetic surgeries and branding her a “fake fembot.” She questioned Bezos’ decision to marry Sanchez, comparing her unfavorably to his ex-wife, philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, whom he divorced in 2019.
The comedian also slammed the “billionaires” who showed up for what she described as “in the gross excess of it all,” saying the sheer extravagance of the event “turned (her) stomach.”
“Why would he choose her after the salt of the earth MacKenzie?” she wrote, before suggesting Bezos had “sold his soul” for a woman she described as a caricature of wealth and vanity. “The devil is smiling at all his conquests,” O’Donnell added.
O’Donnell didn’t stop there. She wondered aloud whether Oprah Winfrey is truly friends with Bezos. “Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos really — how is that possible,” the 'Harriet the Spy' actress continued, adding, “He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man.”
O’Donnell wasn’t the only star critical of the Bezos-Sanchez nuptials. Charlize Theron also made headlines over the weekend for quipping “they suck” during remarks at a charity event, a not-so-subtle jab at the couple, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
The wedding itself was nothing short of a spectacle. Guests like Kim Kardashian, Orlando Bloom, and Sydney Sweeney were flown to Venice for a lavish three-day affair.
Rosie O’Donnell’s takedown of Jeff Bezos' wedding sparks fierce online debate
Rosie O’Donnell’s blistering critique of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s extravagant $50 million wedding in Venice has ignited a fiery discussion online.
Many applauded the comedian for calling out what they saw as vulgar displays of wealth and tone-deaf luxury.
“We’ve lost touch completely. With what’s real, with what matters, with each other,” one lamented, while another wrote, “He wanted to marry a robot? He made one.”
Others took aim at Bezos' guest list. One commenter was particularly stunned to see Leonardo DiCaprio in attendance, writing, “I was shocked to see Leonardo DiCaprio there … Mr. Climate Change himself partying with one of the most destructive people on the planet.”
On the point of Oprah’s attendance, one wrote, “Oprah’s been showing us who she is for a while.”
Having said that, not everyone was on board with the tone of O’Donnell’s post. Some felt her personal attacks on Sanchez’s looks crossed a line.
“Can’t we just stick to talking about how Bezos treats his employees terribly? Why do we have to tear women’s looks apart on social media?” a comment read.
“This is called bullying … so sad … it’s sad to see women bullying other women,” another wrote.
"Im not a fan of them- but I don’t think it’s a good look to make fun of other peoples appearances," one more said.
