Actress Margot Robbie is normally mild-mannered, but Shakira's recent Barbie zingers are reportedly getting under her skin, RadarOnline.com has learned.
A sensational report claims the Australian beauty is telling people to keep the singer away from her — or else!
Margot's wrath comes after the Colombian hitmaker, 47, trashed the Oscar-nominated movie and said her sons —Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9 — "felt it was a little emasculating."
And the Hips Don't Lie songbird didn't stop there!
"I like pop culture when it attempts to empower women without robbing men of their possibility to be men, to also protect and provide," Shakira added. "I think that men have a purpose in society and women have another purpose as well. We complement each other!"
The comments have not gone unnoticed by Margot, 33, who starred in the hit flick — and produced it, too!
"Margot doesn't appreciate the nasty things Shakira said about the film," a source dished to the National Enquirer. "She worked very hard on it and is proud of all the attention it received."
"Margot can try to cast it aside as jealousy, but it still stings," the insider continued. "The two have some mutual friends. Margot's warning them she'd better not run into Shakira or she'll give her a piece of her mind!"
According to the tipster, Margot allegedly thinks Shakira has been "brainwashed by the patriarchy" — and is making things personal!
