Rosie O’Donnell is calling out Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.
The couple’s Venice wedding was deservedly controversial.
Rosie was one of the voices condemning the obscene display of wealth at a time of glaring inequality — especially with Americans poised to suffer more poverty in the coming months and years.
However, she also took particular aim at Sánchez. Did she go too far?
Rosie O’Donnell is calling out Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez
According to reports, Jeff Bezos spent $50 million on his wedding to Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy.
He apparently also rented out every public space in the city, as if renting the city itself.
While this did not quite turn one of the most famous cities in the world into a ghost town, it was definitely a vulgar display of financial power.
Every billionaire is a policy failure. But, in the past, Bezos seemed to pride himself upon making positive investments in the future.
In recent years, his priorities and values have seemed to shift, and this gauche destination wedding seems to reflect that.
On Monday, June 30, Rosie O’Donnell took to her Instagram page to call out Jeff Bezos’ and his new wife, Lauren Sánchez.
“It turned my stomach,” she commented in her caption, writing in a poetic form.
“Seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it.” Many felt this way.
“Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos?” she asked. “Really — how is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man.”
Then, Rosie O’Donnell got personal with Jeff Bezos’ wife Lauren Sánchez
“And his fake fem bot wife,” Rosie O’Donnell commented, referring to Lauren Sánchez.
“Who looks like that? Why would he choose her After the salt of the earth Mackenzie?”
Bezos’ ex-wife, Mackenzie Scott, is one of the most charitable people in human history. Possibly the most charitable person.
“Sold his soul,” O’Donnell wrote of Jeff Bezos. “Is what it looks like from here.”
In a series of other posts, she shared other messages that pointed out the obscenity of Bezos’ wedding.
Millions of Americans are poised to lose basic assistance in the form of Medicaid and SNAP.
Bezos, meanwhile, will benefit from the same legislation that Congress is set to inflict upon the American people.
O’Donnell boosted a message calling out the contrast and more.
Is she being unfair?
One could argue that Rosie O’Donnell is being unfair … to Lauren Sánchez, but not to Jeff Bezos.
Bezos contributed financially to Donald Trump’s inauguration and killed The Washington Post‘s endorsement during the election. Even if that did not change the outcome, there is proverbial blood on his hands.
Could he do things to redeem himself? Absolutely. Will he? Only time will tell.
We don’t think that Sánchez, a former journalist, is a “fem bot,” no matter what facial treatments she undergoes.
When you go after someone’s appearance — even Trump’s, let alone the wife of a man sucking up to Trump — you always miss the point.

Deliberations got underway today in the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking trial.
Naturally, the press is keeping an eye on every aspect of the process, including how long it lasts (a jury that deliberates longer is more likely to find in favor of the defendant).
And courtroom reporters are currently having a field day with an unexpected twist that began with a note to the judge:
Judge responds to unexpected problem among jurors
According to a new report from TMZ, earlier this afternoon, jurors sent word to Judge Arun Subramanian that one of them was having trouble performing his duty.
“We have received a note from the jury,” read the note, as quoted by Judge Subramanian at around 1 pm on Monday. “We have a juror, Juror 25, who we believe cannot follow your honor’s instructions,”
The note came just about two hours after deliberations began. Judge Subramanian consulted with lawyers from both sides, and for once, they agreed on something.
Both parties felt that jurors should press on and continue trying to reach a verdict.
Diddy trial lawyers deal with unexpected difficulty
Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo suggested that the jurors be reminded that it’s early in the process and that the best thing they can do now is persevere.
“It is important not to include any information about what is going on in the jury room,” prosecutor Maureen Comey suggested instructing jurors.
It’s not clear if this minor uproar in the jurors’ room is more likely to favor the defense or the prosecution.
But obviously, prosecutors were hoping for an open-and-shut case — and it looks they’re not going to get one.
The disacreement likely means that the juror in question is leaning toward a not guilty verdict on one or more of the charges, and he may be at odds with the other 11 jurors as a result of that stance.
According to TMZ, Juror 25 has been identified as a 51-year-old gay white man with a Ph.D. in molecular biology who’s studied veterinary science.
This is not the first time that there have been problems with the jury on this very complex case.
Earlier this month, a juror was dismissed after the judge began to suspect that he was discussing the trial with outsiders.
That situation led the defense to call for a mistrial, a request that was eventually shot down by the judge.
The request led many legal analysts to speculate that defense attorneys are not confident in their case. But today’s developments have led many to theorize that Diddy might actually beat the odds and be acquitted.
Whatever the case, the jury is soon to conclude today’s deliberations without a verdict.
And while a full acquittal is still unlikely, Team Diddy is likely feeling optimistic at the moment.
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Post Malone is officially post-relationship!
TMZ is reporting today that the musician has parted ways with girlfriend Christy Lee.
Fans just found out about the relationship in March, when Posty shocked the world by packing on the PDA with Christy during a night on the town.
Under normal circumstances, a rock star showing affection for his lady wouldn’t be a very big deal. But Post-heads were under the impression that he was engaged to the mother of his daughter.
And no, the mother of his daughter is not Christy Lee.
The confusion began when Malone appeared in the viral TikTok video posted above. That’s Christy seated beside him, and it’s not the first time they were spotted acting friendly.
They were also spotted together in Rome in January, heading to dinner at the Mascagni Hotel.
What’s going on with Post Malone’s love life?
We don’t know exactly what’s happening here, as Post does an impressive job of keeping a tight lid on his love life.
He has never publicly identified the mother of his child, but on a 2023 episode of Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, he did reveal that they were engaged.
“We’re not married — it was just a proposal,” he said during the interview.
“I had lost a significant amount of money at the table. We go upstairs and I’m off my rocker hammered and I was like, ‘Hey, you wanna marry me?’ I got a ring and all this stuff,” he continued.
“And she said ‘no.’ She’s like, ‘Ask me tomorrow’ and I was like, ‘Alright.’ And then I did, and I was sober, and it was nice.”
He went on to say that he knew he and his unidentified baby mama would be very happy together.
“I could tell… her heart is so massive,” the “Rockstar” singer said.
“I’ve always wanted kids and a big family. And I could tell she was going to be a really good mama. And she’s like, No. 1 mom in the f—ing universe.”
As for Christy, TMZ has discovered that she’s a student at New York City’s Parsons School of Design.
According to her LinkedIn account, she recently scored an internship with celebrity stylist Kristina Askerova.
So it sounds like she’s got a creative background and a promising career. She’s very much a non-celeb, but that seems to be Posty’s dating preference.
And now, just as we were beginning to learn more about her, it seems that she and Posty have called it quits.
It’s still strange that we know more about Christy than about Post’s previous fiancée. But that’s just the way things go sometimes.
Breakups are always sad, but the silver lining there is that Post is a country singer now, so he’ll have a ton of material for his next album!

Justin and Hailey Bieber are doing just fine, allegedly.
Fans have seen Justin’s volatile emotional outbursts themselves. Report after report has described the Biebers as “struggling” to remain married.
A fun new video is telling a very different story.
Are the Biebers are carefree as they appear? Or did they make a conscious effort to go and have fun in public to quash the divorce rumors?
On Sunday, June 29, Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber attended Martin Garrix’s concert.
The concert was at LA State Historic Park.
We know that the two were in attendance because they are famous and recognizable … and because a fan caught the pair on video.
The TikTok video shows Justin and Hailey clearly enjoying themselves.
Hailey casually dances to the music.
Justin removes his shirt, wrapping an arm around his gorgeous wife.
Are the Biebers ‘struggling’ to stay married?
As we previously reported, an inside source told Entertainment Tonight that “things have been rocky” for the Biebers.
“Justin has been super moody,” the insider acknowledged.
That much, fans have witnessed for themselves.
“And,” the insider continued, “they’ve had a lot of unpleasant conversations and arguments.”
“Hailey has been frustrated by Justin’s antics on Instagram … and feels unsupported by him,” the source illuminated.
That same insider dished: “Justin has been getting irritated easily and feels like Hailey can be superficial about the way their relationship looks in the public eye.”
In other words, Hailey wishes that her husband (a grown man in his 30s) had more emotional maturity.
Justin, meanwhile, has reportedly felt unhappy that his wife cares about what the world thinks of them.
So, what is the truth?
Are Justin and Hailey Bieber on the verge of divorce? Or does this dance at a concert show the true state of their marriage?
The answer probably isn’t both. But it might be neither.
It is entirely possible that Justin and Hailey have good moments and bad moments with great frequency.
That doesn’t sound healthy or fun, and likely makes things much more complex than if things were miserable all of the time.
But with the Biebers being reportedly a little too fervently devout to divorce, maybe they’ll trap each other in this limbo for many years.
