Margot Robbie And Cara Delevingne Got Into An Altercation With Paparazzi In Argentina That Turned Physical

October 3, 2022 / Posted by:

Over the weekend, Cara Delevingne and Margot Robbie proved that when Suicide Squad broads go abroad, mayhem will ensue. TMZ reports that Cara and Margot were involved in an INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT following a run-in with a paparazzo in the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, that landed Margo sprawled out on the pavement, two of her friends in police custody, and the photographer in the hospital reaching out with his one remaining arm to call The Sun about the “brutal attack.” The photographer, Pedro Orquera, and Margot’s friends, Barbie producer Josey McNamara and a key grip named Jac Hopkins, have divergent perspectives on the incident, but there’s one thing everyone seems to agree on— Cara made like the Joker and got away!

Margot and Cara were dining with friends at what The Sun calls an “exclusive celebrity hangout in La Boca area,” having popped over (down? Over?) to Buenos Aries following Paris Fashion Week. TMZ reports:

Margot Robbie and Cara Delevingne were thrust into a dangerous situation in Argentina this weekend — one that left a paparazzi photographer going to cops and alleging assault.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the two stars were dining in Buenos Aires early Sunday morning, and as they were leaving a restaurant (Patagonia Sur in the La Boca neighborhood), there was an Uber waiting for them — but the pickup went awry.

We’re told that as the ladies were entering the car, a pap rushed them and started taking photos aggressively, intruding in their space. Our sources say the encounter freaked out the driver, who took off — with Cara fully in the car, and Margot halfway in and halfway out.

Margot actually had to jump out of the car to avoid being seriously hurt, we’re told, but even after she was on the ground … the photog continued snapping. That’s when a couple of male friends of Margot’s, who were on hand, jumped in to help — per our sources.

Now, we’re being told the photog ran off and fell on his own at this point — but he’s telling police there in Buenos Aires something very different … namely, that he was brutally beaten by these two gents, whom he perceived as security guards, and hospitalized.

As to why a paparazzi would risk life and limb for a photo of Margot and Cara at 3 AM, well, Margot’s a big movie star. And Cara’s been under scrutiny for her behavior of late. Early this summer at the Billboard Music Awards, Cara’s name wasn’t exactly on everybody’s lips, per se given that nobody seems to know precisely how it’s pronounced, but her image was all over the damn place as she followed Megan The Stallion around all night like a thirsty foal desperate for a taste of that teat. Then in September, Cara was papped “behaving erratically” at the Van Nuys airport, pacing the tarmac in socks with no shoes and appearing “very jittery as she dropped her cellphone several times while speaking on it.Page Six reports that Cara’s apparent difficulties “left fans in bewilderment and greatly concerned” about her well-being. Soon after, Margot was pappedvisibly upset hours after leaving” Cara’s house, presumably out of concern for her friend. So I’m sure Mr. Orquera is only threatening to sue because he was attacked while similarly trying to protect Cara from herself. According to The Sun:

Pedro told The Sun: “It was a brutal attack. Really cowardly.

“They tried to take my camera to delete the pictures that I had taken.

“I started running away from them because they were hitting me.

“While I was running from them they kicked me hard so my camera went up in the air and I fell on the floor and injured my arm.

“I was bleeding an awful lot. I was losing a lot of blood, in a few minutes the police arrived.”

A police report shows that McNamara and Hopkins told cops Pedro was “responsible for his own injuries” as the stars had not given their consent for photos to be taken.

Unfortunately for Margot’s friends, TMZ reports that they are still in police custody and it’s “unclear if they’ve been arrested/booked on any specific charges yet.” But a local paper “reports the authorities are interested in prosecuting, pending an investigation.” The Sun says the men “appeared in front of magistrates on Sunday afternoon” and that Margot and Cara “flew to the south of the country alone later that day.” You may think you’ve done a bit of INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE, but if you’ve never had to flee to the south of a country to await the trial of your fallen compatriots, then you’re doing it all wrong. Jared Leto only wishes he had the range!
