Rosie Calls Out Oprah's Controversial Choice

In a fiery Instagram post, Rosie O'Donnell expressed her disgust over Jeff Bezos’ opulent wedding to Lauren Sanchez, held in the romantic setting of Venice, Italy. The star-studded event drew a slew of A-list celebrities, but also sparked outrage and protests from local residents, highlighting the stark contrast between the billionaires' celebrations and the economic struggles of ordinary people.

A Stomach-Churning Display of Excess

O'Donnell didn’t hold back her feelings, stating, "Seeing all these billionaires gathering in such gross excess made my stomach turn. The spectacle of it all is hard to digest!" But her criticism turned sharper when she questioned the attendance of none other than Oprah Winfrey.

"Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos? Really? How is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric, he is not a nice man!" O'Donnell lamented. She further questioned Bezos' choice in partners after his divorce from Mackenzie Scott: "His new wife looks like a fake version of a human being. It appears he sold his soul, and the devil is smiling at all his conquests."

Oprah's Connection to Bezos

Oprah attended the wedding accompanied by her close friend Gayle King. Ironically, King is familiar with Sanchez, having previously flown with her on a space adventure sponsored by Bezos' Blue Origin. O'Donnell's remarks reveal a chasm of disappointment from one celebrity to another.

Celebrities Unite in Criticism

O'Donnell isn't alone in her disdain. Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron poked fun at the wedding during her own charity event, quipping, "I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that’s okay because they suck, and we’re cool." This illustrates a growing sentiment among many stars regarding the billionaire's extravagant lifestyle.

O'Donnell's Life in Exile

Earlier this year, Rosie O'Donnell made headlines for relocating to Ireland following Donald Trump's re-election. With thoughts of returning to the U.S. on hold, she expressed her concerns over the political climate: "When would it be safe to come back with my child? I’m not pushing it until this administration is completely finished, and hopefully held accountable for their crimes." O'Donnell’s life choices, reflective of her convictions, add another layer to her critique of billionaire culture.
