After posting a tribute to Brigitte Bardot on her Instagram Story, Chappell Roan is condemning the late actress’ politics.

Bardot died on Sunday, Dec. 28 at age 91, and the pop star paid tribute to the French actress the same day by posting a photo of her and writing, “Rest in peace Ms. Bardot. She was my inspiration for red wine supernova.”

Roan references the former model in the lyrics of her hit song “Red Wine Supernova,” singing in its first verse, “She was a playboy, Brigitte Bardot / She showed me things I didn’t know.”

One day later, on Saturday, Dec. 29, the singer came back to her Instagram Story to amend her tribute after learning about Bardot’s political beliefs.

“Holy s--- i did not know all that insane s--- Ms. Bardot stood for obvs I do not condone this. very disappointing to learn,” Roan wrote in her latest post about Bardot.

Bardot’s legacy as an iconic actress in French cinema is also marked by scandal and controversy.

Following her rise to fame thanks to roles in films like And God Created Woman, Bardot changed course to a career in activism. While she mainly focused on animal rights, many of her controversial views subsequently came to light.

In 1992, she married Bernard d’Ormale, a controversial figure in French politics who was convicted of racism and inciting racial hatred at least six times, according to AP.

Bardot was also fined multiple times by the French government for inciting racial hatred. A French court fined her 30,000 francs in 2000 for criticizing immigration in France in her 1999 book Le Carre de Pluton, in which she wrote, “My land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims.”

In her 2003 book Un Cris dans le Silence, Bardot described the LGBTQ+ community as "fairground freaks" and cited them as part of the "destruction" of French culture.

She also criticized the #MeToo movement, calling it “hypocritical, ridiculous and uninteresting” in a 2018 interview with French magazine Paris Match.

Roan has been an outspoken supporter of women's rights and the LGBTQ+ community throughout her career. Earlier this year, she launched The Midwest Princess Project, which aims to "uplift trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities through action, care and connection," per its website.
