Cara Delevingne, Margot Robbie at center of ‘brutal’ paparazzi scuffle
A paparazzo is accusing Cara Delevingne and Margot Robbie’s pals of attacking him for trying to take photos of the model and actress in Argentina over the weekend.
However, sources with direct knowledge told TMZ on Monday that the photographer was allegedly the aggressor in the incident and almost caused Delevingne, 30, and Robbie, 32, to get hurt themselves while boarding an Uber.
According to the insiders, the “Suicide Squad” co-stars were leaving a restaurant in Buenos Aires in the early hours of Sunday morning, when the paparazzo – named Pedro Alberto Orquera – allegedly “rushed” them and started taking photos “aggressively.”
The Uber driver drove off, due to Orquera’s behavior, with Delevingne still in the car and Robbie “half-way in, half-way out,” almost causing the “Wolf of Wall Street” star to get injured as she had to jump out of the moving vehicle.
Sources claim Orquera ran off and fell “on his own” at this point, resulting in him getting injured.
However, the photog told a very different story in a video obtained by The Sun on Monday.
“It was a brutal and cowardly attack from the security that was with them,” Orquera alleged in Spanish, referencing Josey McNamara, a film director who has previously worked with Robbie, and Jac Hopkins, a Hollywood key grip.
He further alleged, “They wanted to hijack me and take my camera to remove the images.”
Orquera claims he tried to run away, but McNamara and Hopkins allegedly “kicked” him from behind in what the photographer called a “cowardly” move.
“They made the camera go flying,” he alleged. “I fell … I fell on my arm and lost a lot of blood. I had a fracture and my bone was sticking out. I lost a lot of blood and was unconscious on the floor.”
Orquera claimed Robbie, Delevingne and their friends “cowardly” ran off and left him lying on the ground.
He said local police then arrived within minutes and he was taken to a hospital, where he was given an IV, antibiotics and medication to calm him down.
“I hope I won’t lose mobility in my arm,” Orquera added in the clip. “I’m going to have to get operated and get screws in my arm. I don’t know how long the recuperation will be.”
McNamara and Hopkins were reportedly taken into custody by police, but it is unclear if charges were actually filed against the two men. They did not return Page Six’s request for comment.
Reps for Margot and Delevingne also were not immediately reached.
Delevingne, in particular, has been under a media microscope recently as she has been exhibiting peculiar behavior in recent months.
As a result, Robbie, who is a close friend, has been captured by paps appearing concerned for the “Paper Towns” actress.
Just days after a shoeless Delevingne was seen acting bizarre at an airport, the “Barbie” star paid a visit to her pal’s home and seemed very upset.
TMZ then reported that the supermodel’s friends, including Robbie, were worried about her as she’s allegedly been struggling with a combination of mental health and substance abuse issues and they were “desperate” for her to go to rehab.
Delevingne has not addressed the rumors. But just last week, she was spotted looking glamorous at a Paris Fashion Week event after the claims surfaced.
