Megyn Kelly sparked controversy on The Megyn Kelly Show by suggesting Sydney Sweeney’s invitation to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding was due to her physique, igniting speculation of jealousy. Sweeney’s professional ties to Amazon and MGM Studios explain her presence.
TMZ and Variety reported that during her show, Kelly, 54, questioned why Sweeney, 27, attended Bezos and Sánchez’s exclusive Venice wedding alongside stars like Oprah and Leonardo DiCaprio, commenting on her “huge breasts that everyone seems obsessed with.” The remark, reducing Sweeney’s success to her appearance, drew criticism for its unprofessional tone. Kelly argued Sweeney’s lack of personal ties to the couple made her invitation puzzling, overlooking her starring role in Amazon MGM’s upcoming film Eden.

Sweeney, a rising star from Euphoria and The White Lotus, attended the lavish three-day wedding on San Giorgio Maggiore, including a pajama party and reception where she danced with Tom Brady, per TMZ. Her professional connection to Bezos through Amazon MGM Studios, not personal friendship, secured her invite, a common industry practice. Sweeney’s charisma shone, with posts on X noting her ability to “steal the spotlight” among A-listers like Orlando Bloom.
Social media erupted accusing Kelly of jealousy over Sweeney’s youth and magnetism. Comments like “Megyn’s shade shows more about her than Sydney” trended, while others defended Sweeney’s talent and industry ties. The controversy highlights tensions around celebrity scrutiny, with Kelly’s remarks seen as an attempt to provoke rather than analyze. Sweeney, recently single after ending her engagement, remained unfazed, focusing on her career.
