“Feminism is not my thing. I like guys, “said Brigitte Bardot on Monday in an interview with BFMTV, her first on television in 11 years, where she defends actors Nicolas Bedos and Gérard Depardieu, implicated in sexual assault affairs.
The former star of the French cinema, withdrawn from sets for more than fifty years, believes that the talented “(…) who put their hands on the buttocks of a girl are rejected in the ass-basse-fosse”.
“We could at least let them continue to live. They can no longer live, ”she argues, questioned in her house in Saint-Tropez.
While he is told that justice must do her job, she comments: “After what happened to them, they will no longer find a lot of work”.
“Hypocritus, ridiculous, without interest”
This is not the first time that the former 90 -year -old star has taken anti -feminist positions. In the wake of the Weinstein affair and the Metoo movement in 2018, she had criticized the wave of horsesome denunciations by actresses, deeming her “hypocrite, ridiculous, without interest”.
French actor and director Nicolas Bedos was sentenced in October to one year in prison, including six months suspended for sexual assault on two women in 2023.
Gérard Depardieu is accused of sexual assault on two women during a shoot. The judgment is to be rendered on Tuesday. At the end of March, the prosecution requested 18 months suspended prison sentence against the actor, believing that the assaults denounced by the two women were very “intentional”.
