Easily Replaced
In 1967, Brigitte and her then-boyfriend, Serge Gainsbourg, wrote and recorded the notorious love song, “Je t’aime… moi non plus.” At the time, Brigitte was married to a powerful man and refused to let the single be released. She begged Serge not to let the song out to the public. He agreed. The next year, Serge re-recorded the song with his new girlfriend, Jane Birkin. This version became an international success. All the same, the version with Brigitte was released in 1986.
Something Missing
While Bardot loves animals, you might not want to trust her with pet-sitting. In 1989, she was looking after her neighbor’s pet donkey while he was away. Well, she castrated the animal without his owner’s consent. The owner took Brigitte to court over it, where she argued that the donkey was “harassing” her own pet donkey. She said she took things into her own hands.
