The Bezos-Sanchez wedding
(and the sh*tty people who attended
Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former ‘journalist’ Lauren Sanchez exchanged vows yesterday in Venice, Italy, probably because it’s cheaper to get married on a Friday. The festivities are still going on because his employees don’t deserve to make a living wage, but he’s totally cool with his wedding costing $50K per guest.
Now, people are talking about the *celebrities* (some are questionable) in attendance. Every one of them has landed in my inner round file, never to be thought of again after this writing. They will be given a rating using my Sh*t Scale, which goes from one đ© to five đ©đ©đ©đ©đ©. Here they are, in no particular order:
BILL GATES (with Paula Hurd)
Mr. Microsoft himself has said that he will give away $200M of his wealth over the next 20 years. That said, he’s no different than Bezos. Both of them left brilliant women for newer models. Both brilliant women proved to be better, smarter, and more compassionate by making the world a better place by giving away money instead of hoarding it. Meanwhile, McKenzie Scott has made a good name for herself since she divorced the groom and Melinda French Gates is one of the most powerful philanthropists and advocates for women and girls in the U.S.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ©đ© (He has to do a lot more to redeem himself than giving away some of his fortune)
OPRAH WINFREY
When I say we need to put Black women in charge, I don’t mean Oprah. This is the woman who promoted Jenny McCarthy’s lie about vaccines causing autism and made James Frey famous for fabricating much of what he marketed as his memoir.
She introduced us to *Doctor* Phil, who is known for:
1. Manipulating and exploiting guests on his show
2. Encouraging harmful behavior
3. Running a toxic and unethical workplace
4. Being misogynistic and belittling guests
5. Re-traumatizing guests and offering them no psychological support
6. Promoting an abusive *ranch for troubled teens*
7. HAVING NO PSYCHOLOGY LICENSE
And she introduced us to failed political candidate and medical hack Dr. Oz, who has:
1. Made medical claims without any evidence to support them
2. Promoted products and practices that have no scientific research to back them up
3. Misled people with dangerous advice that has proven to be detrimental to one’s health
4. Influenced public opinion by endorsing unproven treatments
5. Engages in multiple conflicts of interest
Oprah prefers wealth over humanity, which is extra sad because she broke so much ground for women, Black women in particular. Total sellout.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ©đ©đ©đ© (She has let her gender down and possibly her race as well, but that’s not my call)
GAYLE KING
Known for being Oprah’s long-time bestie but wanting to be known as an astronaut, Gayle King has shown us time and time again that the more money you have, the more you forget where you started. This woman used a gay slur when quoting comedian Matteo Lane, and she likes to victim-blame in her interviews. She’s tanking the ratings for CBS News as a result and you know how much ratings matter to certain people.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ© (She’s been openly sh*tty for a while)
USHER
He didn’t do right by ex-girlfriend and talented TLC singer Rozanda ‘Chilli’ Thomas, although she did retract some of her statements about him. He later filed for divorce from stylist Tameka Foster while she was in the middle of a major health scare, and won custody of their two children, one of whom almost drowned in his care. He is known for his infidelity and cheated on Foster with their nanny, who was also one of Foster’s friends. He likes to present himself as a Good Guyâąïž , but he married another woman who had his mother removed from Usher’s management team. He cheated on that wife, too. He is a herpes distributor. I’m not shaming anyone who has the virus, but not informing your bed partners is criminal. Now we’re learning that Usher’s protĂ©gĂ©, Justin Bieber, is distancing himself because of Usher’s ties to Diddy. Speaking of criminal…
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ©đ©đ© (Women aren’t people to him, they’re property)
SYDNEY SWEENEY
Who?
Oh yeah. An actress who appeared in The Handmaid’s Tale and clearly didn’t read the book.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ© (Again, who?)
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
He probably felt safe enough to bring whichever underage date he’s grooming. This dude self-identifies as an environmental activist, which is weird for someone lacking humanity. He has spent more time crafting his image than living up to it.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ©đ©đ© (Just another hypocrite proving it out loud)
ORLANDO BLOOM
The other noted astronaut* he recently broke up with may have influenced his decision to attend the wedding. She won’t be included in this list because she had to skip Venice due to her tour schedule, but her Sh*t Scale rating would be higher than Bloom’s.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ© (is he even still on anyone’s hall pass list?)
*Not an astronaut
IVANKA TRUMP & JARED KUSHNER
I have nothing to add. Their names speak for themselves.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ©đ©đ©đ©đ© (yes, 6/5 sh*ts)
DOMINIC DOLCE (and Stefano Gabbana, even though he wasn’t in attendance)
I’m more of a Vera Wang/Michael Kors type, but anyway, Dolce and Gabbana split as a couple years ago but remain business partners who have a history of being outspokenly homophobic (weird), misogynistic, and just all-around sh*tty. They also happily dress Melanie Trump (isn’t that how McDonald says it?) for huge political events.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ©đ©đ© (no one calls Selena Gomez ugly and gets away with it)
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG
The woman who designed the iconic wrap dress as a symbol of women’s empowerment and identifies as an advocate for women’s rights has clearly lost her way. If you’re a fashionista who appreciates Italian designers, might I recommend Prada, Versace, Balenciaga, or Gucci instead?
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ©đ©đ© (what happened to you, Diane?)
KARLIE KLOSS
A model who was once rumored to be Taylor Swift’s bestie/undercover lover is now hanging out with the people Swift stands up against. Idk what happened, but gross.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ© (she doesn’t have enough clout to matter much)
TOM BRADY
Bay Area-born retired quarterback, mediocre sports announcer, and terrible actor Tom Brady’s own balls are as deflated as the ones he used while playing for the New England Patriots. He’s been surrounding himself with the dregs of humanity in the U.S., which is not hard to do considering the list is so long. The only good thing about Tom is the two Ls he was handed by the Niners over the course of his football career.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ© (he’s irrelevant now anyway)
ELIE GOULDING
Her ethereal voice isn’t enough for me to respect her anymore and all her songs have just been added to the 50 Shades of Crap soundtrack. There isn’t enough money on the planet that would get me to sing at the reception of two of the country’s worst people like Elie did.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ© (the *Lights* are on, but no one’s home)
KRIS JENNER & ALL HER DAUGHTERS EXCEPT KOURTNEY FOR SOME REASON:
This should come as no surprise to anyone. The sh*t factor isn’t just their attendance, it’s the surgically augmented beauty standards they promote that are harming young girls. Please understand that I am pro anything that means a woman will feel better about herself and that includes plastic surgery. But when a woman who has done a lot of things to create a figure that doesn’t exist in nature presents the results as real, we have a problem
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ© (because we already knew they were sh*tty)
JEWEL KILCHER
Her surname might confuse people since she’s better known as mononymed ’90s yodeler-turned-pop-star Jewel. Anyway, now she’s taking quite the (figurative) beating online for being one of the Bezos/Sanchez guests. For a singer who has said she supports her queer fans because they’ve made her life better, she doesn’t seem to have a problem hanging out with people who are working to destroy those fans and/or support public figures who do. Her *apology* to said fans after she performed at the FOTUS inauguration wasn’t as much of an apology as it was an excuse for the inexcusable.
Sh*t Scale rating: đ©đ©đ©đ© (don’t mess with the queer community)
