Brigitte Bardot has died

[FuckRealityBringMeABook]

Aged 91. Such a beauty. RIP

Aaw she was my dad’s favourite. 🥰

And so kind to animals. A true legend. RIP.

She did have some political views that I find unpalatable I must say but definitely the end on an era for the silver screen.

Her attitude to her only child, plus her political views, particularly on migration and "racial mixing" I find abhorrent.
She may well have been an animal rights activist, but human rights, less so.
However, she was certainly a cultural icon.

I gave my youth and beauty to men, I give my wisdom and experience to animals.

RIP, BB

A beauty in the 1960s and 70s, a cultural icon, who brought more revenue to France than many others (pity about some of her beliefs and behaviours).

Certainly an iconic figure but her treatment of her son was shocking. She never wanted him and made no secret of that.

Shame about her treatment of people

She wanted an abortion but it was illegal. All the hurt and trauma that ensued is what happens when we take away a woman’s right to choose.

I know. But her treatment of her son was unnecessarily cruel. When you think of the tens of thousands of other women at that time who unintentionally fell pregnant (in many cases multiple times) I doubt many others treated their children as callously as she did. And in her position, she would have had more choice than most about outsourcing practical aspects of care.

I’m sorry for her family but I’m glad the pneumatic pouting dumb sexpot stereotype is being resigned to history.

As an animal lover I admired her for her dedication to animals but that's it, the way she treated her son and made it so public was and will forever be unforgivable. I could never imagine describing my children the way she did.

I don’t understand how some people adore animals and yet, in Bardot’s case, the vulnerable child she had wasn’t loved as he should have been by her. ☹️Apparently he was raised by his paternal grandparents.
In some photos she looks absolutely stunning and in others, not so much.
I always think Claudia Schiffer is similar to Bardot but Schiffer never takes a bad photo.

in many ways she was before her time but also behind them. She had strong views, a fierce determination and knew what she wanted, refused to be silenced. I admire that even if I don’t agree with everything she said (or did).
