In a surprising turn of events, Margot Robbie took matters into her own hands at the recent Variety Power of Women gala.
The Australian actress, who was being honored for her outstanding work as a producer and co-founder of Lucky Chap Entertainment, was not impressed by Meghan’s attempts to hog the limelight on the red carpet.
Eyewitnesses reported that Margot pushed Meghan aside, telling her to move aside as she was taking too long.
Meghan, seemingly caught off guard, was posing for the photographers, trying to exude glamour.
However, her actions were obstructing other honorees who were eager to have their pictures taken.
“Margot was waiting behind her, and she got annoyed by Meghan’s behavior,” a source revealed.
“She tapped her on the shoulder and said, ‘Excuse me, can you please move?
You’re not the only one here.'”
It appears that Margot was not the only one who found Meghan’s presence irritating.
Many attendees felt that Meghan did not deserve to be at the event and accused her of using it as a platform to promote herself and her projects.
They regarded her as a washed-up actress who married into royalty and then abandoned her Hollywood career.
Some even went as far as calling her a hypocrite and a fame-hungry opportunist.
Critics also questioned Variety’s intentions, suggesting that Meghan had paid for her invitation.
They pointed out the excessive coverage of Meghan on the publication’s Twitter account, claiming that she was unremarkable compared to other celebrities.
“This is all WME is good for, getting her invited places,” one critic remarked.
“Where is the work?
Looks like none of the Hollywood types could be asked to take a photo with her.”
Despite the negative sentiments surrounding Meghan, it seems she is determined to make her mark at these events.
Observers predict that she will eagerly seek out opportunities to pose with A-list stars like Margot Robbie, attempting to project an image of belonging.
However, some question the authenticity of her presence, suggesting that she only attends events she has paid for and is never invited elsewhere.
The Variety Power of Women gala also celebrated other outstanding individuals in the entertainment industry.
This year’s honorees included Carey Mulligan, Fantasia Barrino, Lily Gladstone, and Billie Eilish, who performed her song “What Was I Made For?”
alongside her brother Phineas O’Connell.
Margot Robbie, along with Tom Ackerley and Josie McNamara, received the prestigious Producer of the Year Award for their work at Lucky Chap Entertainment.
Emily Blunt was presented with the Power of Women Alumni Award by premier partner Wells Fargo.
Notably, Leonardo DiCaprio, Dua Lipa, Emerald Fennell, Ariana Greenblatt, and Oprah Winfrey were among those introducing the honorees at the Variety Power of Women event, presented by Lifetime.
Their presence added to the star-studded atmosphere of the evening.
