As pointed out previously on this website, a coffee cup in my office has led to me having a passing obsession with ’60’s film icon Brigitte Bardot. And here’s one of many reasons why:

However, the operative word is the first sentence is ‘passing’ because a spot of research has proven the lady to be a bona-fide bitch. As always, Wikipedia provides the source:

She is also one of the most celebrated supporters of Jean-Marie Le Pen of the right-wing Front National political party, with which her husband is associated. With the publication of her 2003 book, A Scream in the Silence, the reclusive Bardot has come under considerable fire for anti-Muslim, and anti-gay comments…. On June 10th 2004 Bardot was convicted by a French court of “inciting racial hatred.” She was fined 5,000 € and it is the fourth such conviction/fine she has faced from French courts. These recent fines pertain to her aforementioned book. In particular the courts cited passages where Bardot referred to the “Islamization of France” and the “underground and dangerous infiltration of Islam.” (France’s 5-million member Muslim community is the largest in Europe.) In the book she also referred to homosexuals as “fairground freaks,” and she condemns the presence of women in government. Bardot’s previous comments that led to convictions included ones encouraging civilian massacres in Algeria.

To para-phrase Police Chief Wiggum - “Why are the pretty ones always insane?”
