In the message Hynde shared on her Instagram on Jan. 8, she began by writing, "Are you kidding me? Vogue magazine vilifying Brigitte Bardot the minute she died?"
Going on, Hynde highlighted Bardot's history as an animal rights activist, saying, "She was an animal rights activist and anyone who knows anything about animal rights knows that we will always side with the animal if it’s being tortured or abused in any way. Politics has nothing to do with it."
View this post on InstagramThe piece, written by journalist Emma Specter, highlighted Bardot's influence on film and pop culture, but made note of her history of far-right politics in France, Islamophobic remarks, and past comments calling women who denounced sexual harassment in the film industry "hypocritical, ridiculous," via BBC.
Specter wrote of Bardot's legacy, "Death often has a kind of flattening effect on legacy. It’s hard to talk about a celebrity like Bardot—someone who brought entertainment and joy to millions, yet also sowed hatred and bigotry—with the requisite amount of nuance."
Clearly, Hynde didn't agree with this perspective of Bardot, referencing Specter's comments on Islamophobia as she wrote, "And by the way, a ‘phobia’ is an irrational fear. I cannot imagine that Bardot had any irrational fears judging by the way she lived her life. Perhaps people working for Vogue magazine should buy themselves a dictionary."
Fans Were Divided on Hynde’s Bold Take
While some fans shared support for Hynde's statement, commenting, "Brigette Bardot was iconic, her beauty unmatched. End of Story!" and "Bravo Chrissy! Do not let the loudmouths bully you either!" the majority of fans appeared to disagree with the musician.
Another person replied to the note saying, "Image was part of her expression. So were her openly racist and homophobic statements. You don’t get to keep one and erase the other."
As of writing, Hynde has not responded to the fan backlash to her statement.
