Charlize Theron was less than impressed by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s star-studded $50 million nuptials in Venice, Italy.

The “Old Guard” star ripped into the Amazon mogul and his new wife while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on Saturday.

“I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” the actress deadpanned onstage during the event on the Universal Studios backlot in Los Angeles.

“But that’s OK because they suck and we’re cool,” Theron added, per the Hollywood Reporter, seemingly joking.

The Oscar winner, 49, went on to thank her guests for “taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it’s burning because it is.”

Theron continued, “Here in Los Angeles, in the US and across the globe, we’re moving backwards fast. Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women’s rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise.

“This isn’t just policy, it’s personal.” 

As the crowd applauded her remarks, she reportedly added, “Yeah, f–k them.”

While Theron was not on the guest list for Bezos and Sánchez’s three-day wedding extravaganza, a plethora of A-listers and power players flocked to Venice to celebrate the couple.

Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom, Ivanka Trump, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Usher, Sydney Sweeney and more celebrities attended the festivities.

The itinerary included a lavish welcome party and an “all-nighter” pajama-themed bash — in addition to the main ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island that included performances by Matteo Bocelli and Ellie Goulding.

However, the over-the-top affair was met with backlash from Venice protesters who demanded Bezos, 61, pay more taxes.

Prior to the wedding, international environmental group Greenpeace displayed a large banner directed at the Amazon founder in St. Mark’s Square.

A laughing Bezos was pictured alongside the words: “If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax.”

The organization also took to Instagram to share a video of banner being unveiled, claiming in their caption, “Jeff Bezos pays his staff poverty wages and dodges tax. No wonder he can afford to shut down half of Venice for his wedding this week.”

A spokesperson for protest group No Space for Bezos also denounced the billionaire’s wedding, telling Page Six, “We reject the exploitative logic that sees the city as a commodity.

“What worries us even more is a mayor who prefers selling Venice rather than addressing the real problems its residents face — rising living costs, housing prices, the depopulation of the historic center.”

However, we learned that Bezos and Sánchez quietly donated to local Venice charities months before their wedding.

Additionally, instead of accepting wedding gifts, the newlyweds made contributions to the city in the names of their guests so “Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.”
