The CEO of Meta, has found himself in hot water during the recent inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States.
The ceremony took place in Washington, D.C., and was attended by many high-profile guests, including tech leaders and celebrities.
However, it was Zuckerberg’s behavior that caught the attention of social media users.
Mark Zuckerberg caught in embarrassing moment with Lauren Sanchez at Trump’s inauguration
As the inauguration unfolded, Zuckerberg was spotted sitting near Lauren Sanchez, a well-known journalist and the fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Eyewitnesses noticed that Zuckerberg seemed to be staring at Sanchez’s chest, which sparked a wave of comments online.
Many viewers criticized the tech mogul for his apparent lack of decorum during such a significant event.
Lauren Sanchez appears at the event in white outfit
Sanchez attended the inauguration wearing a striking white pantsuit, which drew considerable attention.
Under her blazer, she wore a lacy white bra, which many considered bold for such a formal occasion.
When she removed her coat, the outfit became even more of a talking point.
Viewers on social media quickly reacted, expressing their shock and amusement at the situation.
Social media reactions
A viral video of Zuckerberg glancing at Sanchez sparked discussions on public figures behaving inappropriately at formal events.
One user said: Eyes up Zuck
The second user wrote: Mark Zuckerberg is ready to risk it all for Jeff Bezos’ fiancée.
The third user commented: I think most people couldn’t believe shed be that classless.
Another user wrote: And that’s what happens when someone with Zero class wears just a bra to the inauguration!!
Someone said: She is a 55 year old woman dressing like a twenty year old in her trashy stage. I guess money does not define class.
The seating arrangements also confused people
The seating arrangement added to the awkwardness of the situation.
Zuckerberg was not alone; he was accompanied by his wife, Priscilla Chan.
Reports indicated that Chan was engaged in conversation with political figures while Sanchez and Bezos seemed to be more focused on each other.
This left Chan in a somewhat isolated position during the event.
Sanchez appeared to avoid eye contact with Chan, which many found notable given the context.
Instead, she was seen leaning toward Bezos and engaging in conversation with him.
At one point, Sanchez even pointed out something interesting in the ceiling of the Capitol, drawing Bezos’s attention away from the ceremony.
Notably, other tech leaders were also present.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew were spotted in the crowd, adding to the star-studded nature of the event.
The presence of these influential figures made the incident involving Zuckerberg and Sanchez even more captivating for the media.
