Roan, who name-checked the French icon in her song “Red Wine Supernova,” said she was unaware of Bardot’s history of far-right views and controversial comments<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\tChappell Roan<\/a> removed a tribute to Brigitte Bardot<\/a> after learning about the late French icon\u2019s<\/a> far-right views and extensive history of hateful remarks.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cHoly shit I did not know all that insane shit Ms. Bardot stood for,\u201d Roan wrote on her Instagram Story after deleting her original post. \u201cObvs I do not condone this. Very disappointing to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tRoan\u2019s initial post, shared Sunday after Bardot\u2019s death, was rather straightforward and presented with little comment on Bardot\u2019s career, let alone her controversial political views. \u201cRest in peace Ms. Bardot,\u201d Roan wrote. \u201cShe was my inspiration for \u2018Red Wine Supernova.\u2019<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe opening lines to Roan\u2019s track \u2014 \u201cShe was a playboy, Brigitte Bardot<\/a>\/She showed me things I didn\u2019t know\u201d \u2014 nod to Bardot\u2019s legacy as an icon of the mid-century sexual revolution. She became a global celebrity after starring as a liberated, unapologetically libidinous teenager in 1956\u2019s And God Created Woman<\/em>, and continued to push the boundaries of eroticism on screen up until her retirement from acting in 1973.\u00a0<\/p>\n
