We didn’t know the next installment in the “Mad Max” franchise was Furiosa vs. the Broligarchy.

Charlize Theron kicked off her fifth annual block party for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project — which advances and invests in the health and safety of young people in Africa — Saturday night with an opening quip that made her opinion of Jeff Bezos and his ilk crystal clear.

“I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” Theron told event attendees at the Universal Studios backlot, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “But that’s OK because they suck and we’re cool.”

After the “Monster” star used one concise word to describe the Amazon founder and the famous attendees of his opulent Venice, Italy, wedding over the weekend, she moved on to thank her attendees for “taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it’s burning because it is.”

“Here in Los Angeles, in the U.S. and across the globe, we’re moving backwards fast,” Theron said. “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.”

THR notes that as the crowd began to appllaud, she added: “Yeah, fuck them.”

Bezos aligned himself with MAGA in January, when he snagged primo seats at President Donald Trump’s inauguration alongside the other leaders of the nation’s biggest technology companies, including Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook and Tesla’s Elon Musk.

Bezos is seemingly so chummy with the Trump family that the president’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, attended the billionaire’s wedding, which Forbes estimates may have cost around $25 million. Other attendees joining the star-studded guest list included Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom and the Kardashian/Jenner family, who weren’t exactly welcomed in the Italian city.

Despite Bezos and his now-wife, Lauren Sánchez, promising to donate money to Venetian charities after they tied the knot, local activist groups, including Greenpeace, protested the wedding. Critics accused the couple of exploiting a city already suffering from overtourism, rising housing prices and the threat of flooding due to environmental factors.

But, unlike Trump, it doesn’t seem like Theron thinks that protestors suck. The “Tully” star noted in her speech Saturday that she feels that the “resistance” against the president’s policies is a glimmer of “hope.”

“There is power in all of us standing up, organizing, protesting, voting and caring for each other, and refusing to accept that this is the new normal,” Theron said, per THR. “That spirit of resistance, justice and care for each other, that’s the spirit that drives the work at CTAOP.”

“And although our focus is on the youth in Southern Africa,” Theron added, “what we’re really talking about here tonight is that all lives should be valued.”
