Brigitte Bardot brands #MeToo movement ‘hypocritical, ridiculous’
NBC "News" ^ | January 18, 2018 | by Variety

LOS ANGELES — French actress Brigitte Bardot has criticized the #MeToo movement and said that she has never been a victim of sexual harassment.

In an interview with Paris Match magazine, Bardot asserted that for actresses specifically, "not women in general," "the vast majority of cases" are "hypocritical, ridiculous, without interest."

The 83-year-old added that the topic takes away from "important themes that could be discussed."

Bardot became an international sex symbol after her starring role in 1956's "And God Made Woman."

"I thought it was nice to be told that I was beautiful or that I had a nice little ass," she said. "This kind of compliment is nice."

Bardot went on to say that actresses "come on" to producers to get roles, "and then, so they'll be talked about, they say they were harassed."

She added: "In reality, rather than helping them, it hurts them."

Bridgette Bardot is a Goddess.

I saw her in Viva Maria when I was a little girl. Still remember the awe at her beauty!!

"I thought it was nice to be told that I was beautiful or that I had a nice little ass," she said. "This kind of compliment is nice."

When a gentleman says so in a complimentary fashion, it is indeed a compliment. When a lecherous man says so in a lecherous fashion, it most certainly is not. The challenge for women throughout history has been to look beyond wealth and status to view truly who is a gentleman and who is a lecher. And that is compounded today thanks to the feminists/feminazis who paint just about all men as lechers.

Not guilty. And she was so hot back then, and since then has been standing strong against modern lunacy. So with that evidence she will never be guilty to me.

She has also been in the forefront and taking lots of bullets on the Muslim invasion of her country France 🇫🇷 Of the European countries I think France has the worst Muslim problem

Just because I believe a woman is pretty doesn’t mean I will pursue sex with her. Seriously, these uber-feminists are nuts!

Bridgette Bardot was not only beautiful in her day, but she is a living icon today- and very intelligent. Too bad the French government is too stupid to appreciate her intelligence.

She told them long ago that the Muzzie colonists flooding into France was destroying their culture. She was heavily fined and even locked up for expressing her views.

I might add; she established one of the largest animal care organizations in the world, and has given to it vast amounts of her own money. What a wonderful woman- and so shamfully under-appreciated!

When a man has money and power he forgets how lecherous or ugly he is.

Ladies have and will always welcome gentlemanly compliments on all the hard work they put into being attractive and the civilizing factor for our society. Notice I used the terms “ladies” and “gentlemen”. On the other side of the tracks there will always be both male and female trash and dwellers in the animal realms.

“The challenge for women throughout history has been to look beyond wealth and status to view truly who is a gentleman and who is a lecher.”

Seems to me the difference is: a man that a women is attracted to who compliments her is a “gentleman”, but a man that a woman is not attracted to who compliments her is a “lecher”.

Did you get a black light and some incense while you where there? Perhaps a lava lamp or mirror ball?

I hear yo....you woke up in the morning and you knew something unusual happened in the night

I wonder if young girls have similar erotic stuff in dreams as young boys do

My dad had a pinup in the back of the VMI Bomb yearbook 1955

Some 50s semi nude pinup with almond eyes and huge breasts and doe legs with satin ankle straps pumps and long blonde hair to one side covering the cannons tips squatting seductively

That image which I obviously recall well would be part of those dreams at 11 or so

I learned later as.a middle aged adult she was some wise guy capos mistress

Can’t recall now

It’s funny things are happening you don’t really understand

If I go dormant even today for long I start dreaming about women again....not all the way but you do have intense dreams about them

I don’t think women do that quite the same

True. And the converse as well ... a man with no money and no power forgets that being a gentleman requires neither and elevates him above lechers who have both.

ent to movie in aout 57. I was 10. So it was some Amercian movie and innocent enough that my mom let me go. We didn’t have a lot of sexy movies come through Logan WV. LOL.

All of a sudden here was a preview (we didn’t have trailers in those days) for And God Created Women. This hot French blonde got out of bed naked and walked across the room. But there were wide black bands across the green in all the interesting places.

That night I had my first experience waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and change my sheets. I saw some of her movies in the 60s and the movies were almost unwatchable. i had since watched more french films and like them. But she and Marilyn were my go to gals till I was about 17.
