In yet another display of leftist cancel culture, pop singer Chappell Roan hastily retracted her tribute to legendary French actress Brigitte Bardot after learning the deceased icon held conservative political views.
Bardot, who passed away Sunday at age 91, initially received praise from Roan on her Instagram stories where she wrote, "Rest in peace Ms. Bardot. She was my inspiration for red wine supernova." However, the singer quickly deleted the post and issued a new statement distancing herself from the late actress after discovering what she called Bardot's "very disappointing" political positions.
The incident sparked immediate backlash on social media, with many Americans expressing disgust at the artist's shallow virtue signaling. One Twitter user fired back at Roan's cowardice, posting: "You can't retract a tribute. She had her own opinion and didn't hide it for ticket sales, so what? She was kind to animals, that's a good thing. Free thinking isn't a crime YET. Stand your ground."
Another social media user captured the absurdity of the situation, sharing news of how "Chappell Roan retracts tribute to Brigitte Bardot in shock" - highlighting the manufactured outrage that has become standard operating procedure for today's woke entertainment industry.
The controversy intensified when other conservatives weighed in, with one Twitter user bluntly stating: "Everyone on the left 'plays' the race card. Guess what? WE DON'T FUCKING CARE. If you think we hate you; YOU ARE RIGHT FOR ONCE."
This episode perfectly encapsulates the left's inability to separate artistic achievement from political ideology - a toxic mindset that threatens to erase decades of cultural contributions from anyone who dares hold traditional values. Bardot's legacy as both a cinema legend and animal rights activist apparently means nothing to the cancel culture mob if she committed the unforgivable sin of thinking for herself.
