"Holy (expletive) i did not know all that insane (expletive) Ms. Bardot stood for," Roan wrote Monday in a post on her Instagram Stories.
Grammy-winning singer Chappell Roan has backtracked on her praise for Brigitte Bardot after learning about the late French film icon's "very disappointing" far-right political beliefs.
"Holy (expletive) i did not know all that insane (expletive) Ms. Bardot stood for," Roan wrote Monday in a post on her Instagram Stories.
Bardot, an international sex symbol who starred in Roger Vadim's "And God Created Woman" and Jean-Luc Godard's "Contempt," gravitated toward the French far-right in her later years.
She was repeatedly fined for inciting racial hatred against Muslim immigrants to France, according to news reports. In her 1996 memoir, she declared her support for far-right National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen. Le Pen's advisers included Bernard d'Ormale, Bardot's fourth husband.
"I do not condone this," Roan wrote in her Instagram post, adding that it had been "very disappointing to learn" about Bardot's political beliefs. Roan did not specify which views she found objectionable.
Roan, 27, name-dropped Bardot on her 2023 single "Red Wine Supernova," which opens with the rhyming lyric: "She was a playboy, Brigitte Bardot / She showed me things I didn't know."
After Bardot died on Sunday, Roan initially paid her respects on Instagram. "Rest in peace Ms. Bardot," the singer wrote. "She was my inspiration for red wine supernova."
French political figures across the ideological spectrum eulogized Bardot in statements after her death. French President Emmanuel Macron said she "embodied a life of freedom."
Jordan Bardella, the president of the far-right National Rally party, a successor to the National Front, hailed her as a "passionate patriot" who symbolized "an entire era of French history."
Brigitte Bardot, 1960s French film icon and animal rights activist, dies at 91 Bardot was a committed advocate for animal rights and launched a foundation devoted to their protection. She lobbied for animal welfare legislation and helped secure convictions against perpetrators of animal abuse.
Bruno Jacquelin, a representative of Bardot's foundation, told The Associated Press that she died at her home in southern France. She was 91. Jacquelin did not provide a cause of death, adding that arrangements have yet been made for funeral or memorial services.
Bardot had been hospitalized last month after a period of ill health.

Bardot seems to have been a nationalist and a patriot who loved France and wanted France to be for the French.
For the Left, this is hate speech.
I fart in Chapell Roan’s general direction.
Never heard of him.
Who the heck is this person and who cares what they think.
I think singers should just…sing. And use social media for artistry and promotional purposes…
She is on of those women that men would make an exception for if there were conflicts in politics, I think.
I looked up Mimi Rogers after finally seeing the very disturbing movie The Rapture.
Turns out she was brought up to believe in Scientology and she was the one who introduced Tom Cruise to it and influenced him during the years they were married. She then abandoned it but he went further into it.
In the critical commentary someone (director?) said the scene where Rogers is slightly muddied on part of her face, a little sunburned and her hair messed up “she looked the most beautiful in the entire movie”-—which was my word for word silent assessment in seeing the movie.
I don’t think you missed anything.
Nicki Minaj already hit her career heights, is a wife and mom, and a Christian — she was spiritually ready to share her views at TPUSA AmFest.
He meant reasonable well thought patriotic ideas.
I think the Left won’t let a celebrity remain silent. Silence means they’re racist, nazi homophobes. We live in terrible times.
Her mother was a hamster…
She was her own person and was a proud French woman who hated the destruction of her country. She warned them decades before of the muslim problem and was punished for it.
Brigitte will be remembered far more than this Roan creature.

Heh, heh.
The Huckleberry Roan is a fruitcake.
So Europe never had the freedom of speech.
We can always set up Chappell Roan [who?] with a Musloid grooming gang.
They’ll take good care of her...
Although I am not fond of france I understand and respect her desire as the normal reaction of someone who loves their country.
Whatever this person, who is apparently upset over someone being a normal human, is I do not respect he , she or whatever.
