gcreptile 10,939 Posted November 4, 2021 Thread for French sex symbol, actress, cultural icon, animal lover and ...uhh.. occasional racist Brigitte Bardot, now 87 years old. I was inspired to create this thread after her most recent racial faux-pas regarding the people of La Reunion, not the first time she "misspoke"! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2021/11/04/brigitte-bardot-fined-calling-french-indian-ocean-islanders/ Health-wise she had breast cancer in the 80s, and overdosed once (that we know of), indicating a history of drugs. After her worldwide career as an actress and occasional singer and model, she became an outspoken animal rights activist. Her current husband has connections to Jean-Marie Le Pen. She also had relationships with deathlist favourite Jean-Louis Trintignant, and, of course, Warren Beatty. But I guess it's her face and posture that is the stuff of legends (and inspiration for Jane Fonda's also iconic Barbarella): 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was referring to their behaviour. Anyone can behave like a "degenerate savage", whatever their race or colour. I shagged a bloke from Réunion once.

gcreptile 10,939 Posted November 4, 2021 Well, it was about how the people of this island treat animals, so her animal activism got in her way. Describing it as "having savage genes" is pretty much racism, in my opinion, racism in the original sense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway I am absolutely certain that the remark was alluding to behaviour and not race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,013 Posted May 3, 2023 Here is a new letter from her which states : "I want to reassure everyone : I'm doing really fine ! The press made a whole scandal about a malaise dating from January and and about which there is a lot of fuss just now. I haven't lost any mental capacities, the public letter that I adressed 3 days ago to Macron is a proof. Be assured that everything is fine, lots of kisses, BB". Seems fine to me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,013 Posted January 3 Question : was Jeanne Moreau as famous in the UK as Bardot is ? In France she still is but I doubt She could have made the list. Died at 89 in 2017. Have a feeling BB could well follow her footprints… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google shows she got obits but I don’t think she got any push notifications about her death which Brigette Bardot will get. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
