Comedian Rosie O’Donnell has unleashed sharp criticism toward Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez following their lavish wedding celebrations, calling out what she described as “gross excess” surrounding the billionaire couple’s event.

In a series of comments posted on social media, O’Donnell questioned the scale and extravagance of the celebrations, suggesting that such displays of wealth are disconnected from the realities many people face daily.

“Does any part of them think about the optics of this?” O’Donnell wrote, emphasizing her concerns about wealth inequality and public perception.

Bezos and Sanchez recently celebrated their marriage with a high-profile gathering that drew numerous celebrities and public figures, sparking headlines about the luxurious setting and private festivities.

O’Donnell’s remarks come amid broader cultural conversations around wealth and public displays of luxury, especially from figures with significant influence and resources.

While some supporters of the couple praised their celebration as a personal milestone, others echoed O’Donnell’s sentiments about the importance of humility during times of economic uncertainty for many Americans.
