To all the people in the comments going “she became racist as she grew old”
Naaaa, she was friends with far right lunatics as early as the 1950s

And even if she became racist, that’s no excuse
Also she was a raging homophobe

Jordan Bardella, the president of Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally party (RN), which Bardot supported,
😬
Bardot’s incendiary comments about ethnic minorities, immigration, Islam and homosexuality resulted in a string of convictions for inciting racial hatred.
That tracks.

She was also a vegetarian, a lifelong animal rights activist, close friend of Paul Watson (founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society), and the founder of her own Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the welfare and protection of animals.
People are complicated!
