Margot Robbie Faces Backlash Over Alleged 'Stolen' Taj Mahal Diamond Necklace
- •Margot Robbie wore an $8.8 million Cartier diamond necklace, claimed to be Elizabeth Taylor's, at the Wuthering Heights premiere.
- •The necklace, known as the Taj Mahal diamond, has a disputed origin but is widely believed to have belonged to Mughal emperors Jahangir and Shah Jahan.
- •Critics accuse Robbie of 'whitewashing' by wearing an artifact allegedly 'stolen' from India, linking it to the film's controversial casting.
- •Social media users expressed outrage, calling the necklace 'stolen' and connecting it to the 'whitewashing' of the Wuthering Heights adaptation.
- •The film adaptation itself faces criticism for casting Jacob Elordi as 'dark-skinned' Heathcliff and Margot Robbie (16 years older) as Cathy, deviating from Emily Brontë's original descriptions.
