Chappell Roan<\/a> has clarified her position on the late Brigitte Bardot\u2019s<\/a> controversial views, saying she \u201cdoesn\u2019t condone\u201d Bardot\u2019s beliefs<\/a> despite namechecking her in the lyrics of \u2018Red Wine Supernova\u2019.<\/p>\n Roan paid tribute to the French cinema icon upon news of her death yesterday (December 28) at the age of 91, writing \u201cRest in peace Ms. Bardot,\u201d and confirming she was the inspiration for \u2018Red Wine Supernova\u2019. Bardot is mentioned in the lines of the song\u2019s first verse \u2013 \u201cShe was a playboy, Brigitte Bardot\/ She showed me things I didn\u2019t know\/ She did it right there out on the deck\/ Put her canine teeth in the side of my neck.\u201d<\/p>\n Bardot was also known as a prolific animal rights activist, joining protests against seal hunts in 1977 and establishing the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in 1986. However, she was also accused of making racist comments several times and has been fined six times by French courts for \u201cinciting racial hatred\u201d with her writing.<\/p>\n In addition, she was criticised after\u00a0accusing the female stars who spoke out<\/a>\u00a0as part of the\u00a0#MeToo movement<\/a>\u00a0of being \u201chypocritical\u201d.<\/p>\n Bardot is also a close friend of Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the National Front party, who was convicted of anti-Semitism, racism, and Holocaust denial in France. His daughter, far-right politician Marine Le Pen, now runs the party.<\/p>\n\n In response to criticism of her tribute, given Bardot\u2019s controversial views are now becoming more widely known, Roan has established that she doesn\u2019t condone the \u201cinsane shit\u201d Bardot believed and was unaware of it.<\/p>\n \u201cHoly shit i did not know all that insane shit Ms. Bardot stood for obvs I do not condone this,\u201d she wrote on her Instagram story.<\/p>\n By contrast, Roan has shown considerable support for the queer and trans communities, launching her \u2018Midwest Princess Project\u2019 in October<\/a> to help support organisations providing resources to trans youth and LGBTQ+ people.<\/p>\n In addition, while collecting the Grammy award for Best New Artist, she called out the music industry<\/a> and \u201cdemanded that labels in the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a liveable wage and health care, especially developing artists.\u201d<\/p>\n In other news, Keith Urban<\/a> covered\u00a0Roan\u2019s \u2018Pink Pony Club\u2019<\/a> for the Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt at\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s Mar-a-Lago resort, leaving some fans of both artists confused.<\/p>\n The post Chappell Roan says she \u201cdoesn\u2019t condone\u201d the \u201cinsane shit\u201d \u2018Red Wine Supernova\u2019 inspiration Brigitte Bardot stood for<\/a> appeared first on NME<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chappell Roan has clarified her position on the late Brigitte Bardot\u2019s controversial views, saying she \u201cdoesn\u2019t condone\u201d Bardot\u2019s beliefs despite namechecking her in the lyrics of \u2018Red Wine Supernova\u2019.
