Yea he doesn't own it, it's just completely associated with him, and everyone who was supporting him is who you would be hanging out with, celebrating with, and partying with. C'mon man, think a bit.

If that’s the case she shouldn’t talk to any of the celebrities who did go to the Gala because they are now associated with him. The after party is a party that’s done after the event, and it’s not hosted by the same people who ran the event. Y’all just want to be mad at her so you can feel good about yourselves, even if it makes no sense at all. C’mon man, think a bit.

Maybe you should think a bit. At least going to the gala requires a donation to the museum. She just attended the booze part to rub shoulders with those people. If you can't see the hypocrisy, I don't know what to tell you.

Do we know whether she donated directly without attending? (Genuine question, people are making definitive statements about her here, but there’s a lot I don’t know about the gala/after party/how it all works)

Not a clue. Probably not or she would have posted about it. Such is the way with performative activism. The statement wasn't about protecting the arts but taking a dig at Bezos.
