Brigitte Bardot plans ‘Revenge Tell-All’ about the sleaze of Hollywood

Bardot has never shied away from controversy. In 2021, she was fined $23,100 for “incitement to racial hatred” by calling native islanders in the Indian Ocean “savages”.

In a 2019 letter to the public, Bardot labeled the Reunionese people as “natives who still have savage genes” for the way they allegedly treat animals by “sacrificing goats” and resorting to the “cannibalism of past centuries ‘. Bruno Jaquelinwas also fined for sending the message to media outlets.

In 2008, Bardot stood trial for expressing defamation against Muslims. Prosecutors originally asked for a two-month suspended prison sentence and a 15,000 euro ($23,760) fine, claiming Muslims are “destroying our country and imposing his actions.”
