Activists Hide Hundreds of Fake Urine Bottles Inside Met Gala Venue to Target Jeff Bezos

Overview

• Museum staff found hundreds of bottles that looked like urine inside the Metropolitan Museum before the Met Gala began.
• Everybody Hates Elon, a UK anti‑billionaire group, said it planted more than 300 bottles of “fake piss” to highlight allegations that some Amazon workers resort to bottles because of tight schedules.
• One display inside labeled a cluster a “Met Gala VIP toilet” with a sign saying it was installed in honor of Jeff Bezos.
• Labels urged people to “Boycott the Bezos Met Gala,” with empty bottles placed in baskets outside and boycott messages projected onto New York landmarks.
• Amazon has said restroom complaints reflect delivery routes and traffic and that it is working on fixes, a stance drawing extra scrutiny as Bezos and Lauren Sánchez serve as the gala’s honorary co‑chairs.
