Apple Martin joined singer Chappell Roan in walking back an Instagram tribute to Brigitte Bardot after learning about her history of racial hatred convictions.
Apple Martin, the daughter of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and musician Chris Martin, joined singer Chappell Roan in walking back her tribute to French actress Brigitte Bardot after learning about Bardot’s political views.
After learning about Bardot’s death at age 91 on Sunday, Martin posted a tribute to the actress on Instagram. However, by Monday, the post was removed, and Martin had made a new post on Instagram Story denouncing Bardot’s views.
« I was completely unaware of Bardots [sic] views and will never support any kind of hatred directed at anyone », she wrote. « She is not the person I thought she was whatsoever. »
Martin’s new post followed backlash to Chappell Roan’s tribute, in which the singer had written that Bardot inspired her 2023 hit, « Red Wine Supernova », and wished Bardot would « rest in peace.
