    Chappell Roan previously released a 2023 single ‘Red Wine Supernova’, which had been inspired by Brigitte Bardott. Chappell Roan was surprisingly unaware of the actress’s political views.

        Have you skimmed Brigitte Bardot’s Wikipedia page? There’s no tab for controversies or allegations or anything like that. Its a hagiography.

          I did think it was very convenient that all the bad stuff was tucked under the subheading “Politics and legal issues” while “Animal rights activism” gets its own top-level heading.

            There’s also stuff about calling out misogynists and sexual predators in the same tab. Like painting her as a land of contrasts not an old racist lady.

            • Which is also extremely misleading given that Bardot vocally opposed the Me Too movement and outright demanded that

              SA apologia

              men are “conquering” in their flirting behavior and do not accept a simple no. She also self-described as antifeminist. The amount of internalized misogyny she put on full display in recent years was absolutely revolting.

              Sounds as if the article was doctored by a PR agent.

          I think the fact that Chappell deleted her posts after learning that politics of the actress is somewhat redeeming. She could have doubled down or tried to save face. It seems like a lot of people didn’t know the politics of the actress.

          Also Chappell is a lesbian and her music is meant to like celebrate LGBT themes.

            She also refused to play the whitehouse under Biden over Palestine and previously attacked democrats on not defending trans rights.

            Like her heart is in the right place honestly l.
