Chappell Roan confirms she does not condone views of Brigitte Bardot

Following the news of the death of Brigitte Bardot聽singer Chappell Roan paid tribute to the star online.

鈥淩est in peace Ms. Bardot,鈥� she posted on Sunday 鈥淪he was my inspiration for red wine supernova.鈥�

Bardot had been known as a French fashion icon and had appeared in over 47 films in her career, garnering many fans.

However in the later years of her life Bardot made public her more controversial far right views, which many were not quick to forget.

The actress made countless inflammatory comments about homosexuality as well as immigration, ethnic minorities, Islam and had a public falling out with her ex husband and son.

So much so that French courts fined her five times for her inflammatory comments.

In 2003 she released her book A Cry in the Silence which published countless statements about the above groups and openly endorsed right wing politics.

Her final book, released in 2025, also went on to make further comments against both gay people and the trans community directly.

Needless to say Chappell Roan was not aware of these views when making her tribute online, but it seems her fans were quick to educate her.

鈥淗oly shit I did not know all that insane shit Ms. Bardot stood for,鈥� she published on her Instagram stories in the following days.

鈥淚 do not condone this. Very disappointing to learn.鈥�

Roan has included the singers name in the lyrics to Red Wine Supernova which read 鈥淪he was a playboy, Brigitte Bardot / She showed me things I didn鈥檛 know鈥�

Bardot passed away in her hometown of the French Riviera earlier this week.
