Pop singer Chappell Roan has removed a social media tribute to the late French film star Brigitte Bardot after fans drew attention to the actress's far-right political views and past convictions for inciting racial hatred. The original post, which described Bardot as an artistic inspiration, prompted swift backlash and led Roan to publicly distance herself from Bardot's views.
The incident unfolded following Bardot's death on 28 December at the age of 91. While she remains a significant cultural figure in European cinema, her legacy has long been clouded by controversial political statements and associations that have drawn criticism in France and beyond.
