Brigitte Bardot hated being a celebrity
Being in the spotlight wasn’t Bardot’s thing, it turns out. She’s also said numerous racist public statements over the years which have earned her six fines in 2021. Speaking on the French Island Reunion, she called them “aboriginals who have kept the genes of savages.” She made this statement because of how she believed animals were treated there. She’s also made very inappropriate, hatred-filled comments about Muslims, penning a letter in 2016 where she discussed how they were “destroying our country by imposing their ways.” For this comment, Bardot paid $23,000.
