For many years now, Bardot has withdrawn from public life, intervening only through social networks and most often in the interest of her fight for the animal rights cause and her foundation. Together with her husband Bernard d’Ormale, she has found refuge not in La Madrague, her legendary property on the sea, but in La Garrigue, her second home, where she lives surrounded by her animals.
Among her latest comments, Brigitte Bardot expressed her sadness at the news of Jane Birkin’s death last Sunday. “When you are so beautiful, so fresh, so spontaneous, with the voice of a child, you have no right to die,” wrote the diva, who had shared a lot with the singer since they met for the first time fifty years ago following Serge Gainsbourg.
In the spring, the actress showed up on social media when rumors circulated that she was in intensive care: “I want to reassure everyone. I’m fine. The press made a scandal for my illness in January and today it’s a lot of talk”.
