"After leaving the film industry behind at 39, Bardot turned to animal welfare and activism. However, she also expressed political views that aligned her with the far-right supporting French politicians such as Marine Le Pen. After writing that Muslims were "destroying [France] by imposing their ways" in 2008, Bardot was fined for inciting racial hatred. It was her fifth such fine."
"Bardot is referenced in the lyrics: "She was a playboy, Brigitte Bardot / She showed me things I didn't know." However, that post was deleted and replaced with a new one on Monday (29 December) that read: "Holy s*** I did not know all that insane s*** Ms. Bardot stood for. Obvs I do not condone this. Very disappointing to learn.""
"She has also been criticised over a comparison between homosexuals and paedophiles. The BBC also reports her as having said of gay men that they "jiggle their bottoms, put their little fingers in the air, and with their little castrato voices moan about what those ghastly heteros put them through". Bardot also spoke out against the #MeToo Movement describing it as "hypocritical, ridiculous, uninteresting"."
Brigitte Bardot died at 91 and was remembered both for her film career and animal welfare activism.

Bardot was fined for inciting racial hatred after writing that Muslims were "destroying [France] by imposing their ways," and she faced repeated fines.
