Margot Robbie’s Reaction
Margot Robbie, creator of the hit movie Barbie, reportedly isn’t pleased with recent comments made by singer Shakira regarding the film. According to insider reports, Robbie has expressed her displeasure and even cautioned mutual friends to keep their distance from Shakira to avoid potential confrontations.
Shakira’s Remarks
Shakira stirred controversy when she shared that her sons found the Barbie movie “a little emasculating.” She emphasized the importance of empowering women in pop culture without diminishing the roles of men in society. However, these comments didn’t sit well with Robbie, who takes pride in her work on the film.
The conversation with Allure went like this:
Now, I can’t help but ask a question that’s been on my mind since we began this conversation, “Did you watch the movie Barbie?”
“I watched it, yeah.” Long pause.
“And?”
“My sons absolutely hated it. They felt that it was emasculating. And I agree, to a certain extent. I’m raising two boys. I want ’em to feel powerful too [while] respecting women. I like pop culture when it attempts to empower women without robbing men of their possibility to be men, to also protect and provide. I believe in giving women all the tools and the trust that we can do it all without losing our essence, without losing our femininity. I think that men have a purpose in society and women have another purpose as well. We complement each other, and that complement should not be lost.”
An insider shared with the National Enquirer that Robbie “doesn’t appreciate the nasty things Shakira said about the film.” Robbie worked tirelessly on Barbie and values the positive attention it received. Despite trying to dismiss Shakira’s comments as jealousy, the insider revealed that they still sting Robbie.
Robbie reportedly went a step further and warned mutual friends to ensure she doesn’t cross paths with Shakira, indicating that she’s prepared to confront the singer about her remarks. Robbie allegedly believes that Shakira has been influenced by patriarchal ideologies, which she finds concerning.
In response to Robbie’s reaction, the insider claimed that Shakira views Robbie as overrated and doesn’t understand the hype surrounding her work. The singer allegedly isn’t a fan of Robbie and hasn’t been shy about expressing her opinions.
Overall, the exchange highlights a clash of perspectives on gender representation in media and underscores tensions between the two public figures.

BARBIE IS A BAD FILM WAKE UP
It’s funny to me in country as Black as Colombia, Shakira who has at times acknowledged the work of Black women in Colombia, would go on to say this with her whole chest. Again, it’s funny after the comments she made about her sons and the Barbie movie
