Chappell Roan removes tribute to Brigitte Bardot after learning points of view

Chappell Roan has changed her tune Brigitte Bardot – her muse for “Red Wine Supernova” – after learning about the late actress’ right-wing political views.

Following Bardot’s death at the age of 91, Roan, 27, was one of many celebrities to pay tribute to the actress. “Rest in peace Mrs. Bardot. She was my inspiration for the red win supernova,” Roan wrote via her Instagram Story on Sunday, December 28, after news of Bardot’s death was confirmed.

Roan deleted her post and blasted Bardot in a separate post on Monday, December 29, after discovering that Bardot’s political beliefs did not align with her own.

“Holy s***, I didn’t know all the crazy s*** that Ms. Bardot stood for,” Roan wrote via her Instagram Story. “Obvs, I don’t condone this. Very disappointing to learn.”

Bardot became an international superstar in the 1950s and 1960s after her sex appeal and acting talents were exposed in films such as And God created woman, The truth And Contempt.

The French bombshell quit acting in 1973 at the age of 39 to focus on animal rights activism. However, it was her support of the far right, which some call extremist in nature, that ultimately led to her Bardot becoming controversial in some quarters.

Bardot was known for his support of National Front candidates such as Catherine Megret And Marine Le Pen and speaking out against the alleged ‘Islamization’ of France. She condemned the increase in the number of immigrants to her home country France, especially Muslims, the newspaper said Associated press. (Bardot was repeatedly fined for inciting hatred towards Muslims.)

The Two weeks in September star was also criticized for ‘inciting racial hatred and comparing homosexuals with pedophiles’ in her book, A scream in the silenceper The Hollywood Reporter.

In one chapter of the bookBardot called gays ‘cheap f***ts or circus freaks’ and suggested that the LGBTQ+ community would remain in the closet, just like in the 1950s and 1960s.

Bardot attracted attention again in 2018 when she clapped for the #MeToo movement. “I liked being told I was beautiful or that I had a nice ass,” she said at the time, seemingly downplaying the severity of many actresses’ traumatic experiences with men in power during their own careers.

For her part, Roan paid tribute to Bardot in her 2023 hit “Red Wine Supernova,” singing, “She was a playboy, Brigitte Bardot / She showed me things I didn’t know.”

Although she sang about Bardot in a positive light, she no longer has much respect for her, according to her statement on Monday.

Roan’s opposition to Bardot’s political views is not surprising, as throughout her career she has been vocal about accepting all people, especially those who have been persecuted because of who they love.

“There are so many things in the world that are so ‘f*** you,’ and then there’s this. The only thing that matters to me is joy. And protecting that, and peace and safety,” Roan, who identifies as a lesbian, told her fans during the last of three shows in Los Angeles in October. “So I hope you know that if you’re here, you’re safe, and I want you to be here, to be whoever you are tonight.”

She added, “You are cherished for everything that you are. Even if you’re not queer, I hope you know I’m including you. This isn’t just for gays. Thank you for being here and supporting me and supporting each other. This is the biggest headline show I’ve ever had. So thank you.”
