Pop star backtracks on Brigitte Bardot tribute after learning of extreme far-right views

The rapidly ascending pop star Chappell Roan walked back her tribute to the late Brigitte Bardot after discovering the French icon's troubling far-right political legacy.

Roan initially honored the famed actress and animal rights advocate with a respectful post-mortem tribute.

The 27-year-old artist had referenced Bardot in her 2023 hit "Red Wine Supernova," including the lyric: "She was a playboy, Brigitte Bardot / She showed me things I didn't know."

"Rest in peace Ms. Bardot," wrote Roan.
