Activists Protest Jeff Bezos' Role at Met Gala with 'Pee Bottles' in NYC
Activists in New York City have staged a protest against Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' role as honorary chair of the 2026 Met Gala, alongside his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos. The protest involved leaving approximately 300 bottles of fake urine at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a symbolic gesture referencing reports of Amazon employees having to use bottles for bathroom breaks. The protest is part of a larger campaign by the group 'Everyone Hates Elon,' which has been urging a boycott of the Met Gala. The event, known for its opulence and celebrity attendance, is a major fundraiser for the museum's Costume Institute. Despite the protests, Vogue's Anna Wintour and museum officials have defended the Bezoses' involvement, citing their generosity and support for the museum.
