Charlize Theron's Hypocrisy Exposed: From Bezos-Sanchez Wedding Rant to Own Lavish Nuptials

Charlize Theron unleashed a furious tirade against Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venetian wedding... years after she herself attended Salma Hayek's similarly lavish Italian nuptials

"VENETIAN SHOCKER: Charlize Theron Unleashes Scathing Takedown on Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's $20M Wedding Extravaganza!

The Queen of Hollywood, Charlize Theron, has finally let her hair down – or should we say, her claws? The 49-year-old Oscar-winning actress went on a wild rant at the Block Party charity event over the weekend, viciously slamming Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's multi-day wedding bash in Venice, Italy. And honey, it was EPIC!

The drama began when Theron took to the stage, sipping champagne (because, why not?), and started dissing the Amazon founder's lavish nuptials. "I think we might be the only people who didn't get an invite to the Bezos wedding," she quipped with a wicked grin. "But that's okay because they suck and we're cool!" Ah, burn!

The actress, 49, was brutally slammed online after she went on an explosive rant about the Amazon founder and his new wife's multi-day wedding extravaganza over the weekend

While Theron's comment was clearly meant as a lighthearted joke, it seems some fans were not amused – or maybe just jealous? After all, who wouldn't want to be invited to the most exclusive party of the year, featuring A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Oprah, Gayle King, and Sydney Sweeney?

But here's the thing: Charlize Theron is no stranger to lavish weddings. In 2009, she attended Salma Hayek's star-studded nuptials in Italy – an event that reportedly cost a whopping $3.5 million! Who knew Theron was just following in Hayek's footsteps? After all, as the saying goes: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Theron's joke might have been in jest, but it sparked a firestorm on social media, with many fans calling her out for being "jealous" she wasn't invited to Bezos and Sanchez's big day. One X user even went as far as to claim she was "salty" because she didn't get an invite. Ouch!

Her comments are especially interesting considering that Theron jetted off to Italy in 2009 to watch Hayek tie the knot with her mogul husband Francois Henri-Pinault (seen in 2009)

But Theron isn't the only one talking trash about Bezos' wedding extravaganza. Locals in Venice have been protesting the disruption caused by the A-list guest list, claiming that the parade of celebrities forced canals to shut down and tourists to cancel reservations.

One business owner shared their horror story with The Scholarly Note: "We had a party of clients booked for Thursday night, but they were unable to get through because the bridges were all closed off. It was party of five Americans, and they had booked an hour and a half for $100 each, so we had to cancel."

Theron's rant wasn't just about Bezos' wedding, though – she also took aim at Donald Trump-era politics and what she called a "backwards" handling of immigration, abortion, and LGBT policies. Talk about taking down two birds with one stone!

Bezos and Sanchez's glamorous nuptials saw hoards of celebrities descend upon the area, including Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner

In the end, Theron's scathing takedown of Bezos and Sanchez's wedding has left fans divided – but hey, that's what makes Hollywood so juicy! Who do you think came out on top in this celebrity showdown?"
