Met Gala Faces Backlash: Jeff Bezos Presence Sparks Protests, Divides Celebs

The Met Gala, set for the first Monday in May, is facing a wave of controversy due to Jeff Bezos attendance as a co-chair. Posters calling for boycotts and protests have appeared around the Upper East Side, criticizing Bezos for Amazons ties to ICE, tax evasion, and past support for Trump. The British activist group, Everyone Hates Elon, has joined the fray, urging a boycott of Bezos big night. Despite the backlash, other co-chairs like Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams maintain the star power, while celebs criticizing ICE policies plan to attend. New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his wife have decided to skip the event. The red carpet promises to be a flashpoint for larger debates, as protests brew and tension rises.
