Hundreds of bottles containing yellow liquid were discovered hidden throughout the Metropolitan Museum of Art just hours before the Met Gala, marking one of the most shocking protests in the event’s history as activists target Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez.
Disgusting Discovery Stuns Museum Staff
Staff at the Metropolitan Museum of Art uncovered more than 300 containers filled with what appeared to be urine concealed next to priceless artifacts. The revolting stunt occurred Monday as preparations reached their final stages for fashion’s biggest night. Outside the museum, protesters installed baskets filled with empty plastic water bottles, encouraging passersby to urinate in them. A sign above the display read: “The Met Gala VIP toilet. Installed in honor of Met Gala chair Jeff Bezos. Go ahead, it’s good enough for his staff.”
The campaign group Everyone Hates Elon organized the demonstrations, funded by 1,000 donors worldwide. The group claims Amazon employees have been forced to urinate in bottles because they are denied adequate bathroom breaks during work shifts. A spokesman for the organization stated: “Amazon founder and oligarch Jeff Bezos just finished his Met Gala pre-party at his penthouse and is getting ready for the big night. We couldn’t let him get away with using celebrity and fashion to hide his crimes.”
Projections Target Bezos Properties
On Sunday night, activists projected protest messages onto Bezos’s Fifth Avenue apartment building where he reportedly hosted a pre-Met Gala party. The messages included “Boycott the Bezos Met Gala” and “no red carpet for Trump’s billionaires.” Similar projections appeared on New York City landmarks including the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building. Video testimonials from Amazon workers were displayed on Bezos’s penthouse, amplifying complaints about workplace conditions.
Backlash Over Bezos Involvement Escalates
Fury has mounted across New York City over the involvement of Bezos, 62, and Sanchez, 56, who bankrolled much of this year’s event. Amazon previously faced accusations in 2021 that workers were forced to urinate in bottles during shifts. The company acknowledged awareness of restroom access issues at the time. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Amazon representatives have not yet commented on the protest activities. The controversy threatens to overshadow the prestigious fundraising gala, which typically celebrates fashion and raises millions for the museum’s Costume Institute.
