Margot Robbie who played Harley Quinn several times asked for “clear rules” that protect public figures internationally.
A little over a month after the incident in which she was involved with a photographer in Argentina, actress Margot Robbie asked in an interview that there be “clear rules” that protect public figures internationally, like those in Los Angeles.
Furthermore, the protagonist of The Suicide Squad indirectly referred to what she experienced when she was in Buenos Aires and her friends attacked a paparazzi who tried to capture images of her with her group.
What Margot Robbie said about the incident she had with a photographer in Buenos Aires
Margot Robbie gave an interview to Vanity Fair magazine just after being the protagonist of a violent moment at night in Buenos Aires. According to what she told the publication, due to “the legal problems” she might have in the future, she could not mention anything about the fact.
But when the journalist asked her if she was hurt at the moment the photographer tried to capture the images, it was she who reacted and left a sentence. “No, but I could have done it,” she maintained.
In the report, Robbie also asked that there be international guidelines that photographers follow so that public figures are protected and do not experience extreme situations. The actress's family has already gone through something similar in Australia.
“If my mom dies in a car accident because you wanted a photo of me going to a restaurant, or you threw my nephew off a bicycle, what's the point? For a photo? It is dangerous, but strangely nothing feels like it changes,” she launched.
What happened to Margot Robbie in Argentina
When Margot Robbie and Cara Delevingne were leaving a restaurant in La Boca with two friends at the beginning of October, a photographer managed to capture images of that moment. The two men who accompanied the actresses then pursued Pedro Alberto Orquera, who was attacked and was hospitalized. Everything was recorded on the street security cameras.
Josey McNamara and Jac Rhys Hopkins were charged with serious injuries after they tried to take the camera from the paparazzi, who captured the moment they were leaving the restaurant.
Orquera had to undergo surgery due to the injuries he suffered: he suffered a cut on his head and had an open fracture in his arm because when he ran to the taxi that was waiting for him to leave, he fell violently in the street .
The attack had only one reason, according to what he told TN Show at that time: to try to take his camera, break it and extract the images that he had managed to obtain. “I suffered pathoterism. If they caught me, I was going to have an even worse time. They were going to beat me to death, what I protected the most was the material,” he said. Later, the images came to light.
The two people who hit Orquera are not the actresses' bodyguards. They functioned as such, but in reality one of them is Robbie's partner, while the other works alongside them and they have a friendly relationship.
Josey McNamara is a British producer recognized for that work on the hit film Beautiful Revenge. In his work list on IMDb, he is also listed as a second unit director in dozens of films. According to the British newspaper The Sun, McNamara is a business partner of Margot Robbie, with whom he worked side by side in the film Barbie, which will be released in 2023. At the 2021 Oscar ceremony, both were shown together.
In Barbie, at the same time, Robbie had Jac Rhys Hopkins, also British and the other attacker of the Argentine photographer, as one of the technical assistants. According to the business records of the United Kingdom that TN Show was able to compare, the young man born in 1993 appears as the owner of a company that is dedicated to film and television production tasks.
