""Holy shit i did not know all that insane shit Ms. Bardot stood for," she posted a day later via an Instagram Story. "obvs I do not condone this. very disappointing to learn.""
"She once unfavorably compared her "homo" friends to the "fairground freaks" who "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." That came from her 2003 book A Scream in Silence ( Un cri dans le silence), where she also attacked "the mixing of genes," immigration, Islam, and the role of women in politics. That led to her fourth conviction in a French court for inciting racial hatred."
"By the time she was convicted for a fifth time in 2008 after saying she was "fed up with being under the thumb of this [Muslim] population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its habits," a French prosecutor said they were "weary" of constantly charging Bardot with "offenses relating to racial hatred and xenophobia.""
Brigitte Bardot died on December 28. Chappell Roan posted a tribute crediting Bardot as the inspiration for her song "Red Wine Supernova," then faced fan backlash. Roan checked Bardot's history and posted an Instagram apology disavowing Bardot's hateful views. Bardot made repeated public attacks on LGBTQ+ people, immigration, Islam, and genetic mixing, passages that appeared in her 2003 book A Scream in Silence and led to multiple convictions for inciting racial hatred. By 2008 she drew a fifth conviction after anti-Muslim remarks. Bardot later focused on animal-rights activism; Roan advocates for LGBTQ+ youth.
