A little over a week after 100 prominent French women signed a letter calling the #MeToo movement a “witch hunt” against men, actress Brigitte Bardot has decided to weigh in with her own thoughts on the push against sexual harassment. Rather than join the ranks, Bardot decried the movement, slamming the women who have come forward to share their stories.

“The vast majority are being hypocritical and ridiculous,” she told the French magazine Paris Match, as translated by France 24.

Bardot, who is 83, noted that “lots of actresses try to play the tease with producers to get a role. And then, so we will talk about them, they say they were harassed . . . I was never the victim of sexual harassment. And I found it charming when men told me that I was beautiful or I had a nice little backside.”

This isn’t the first time Bardot has shared a controversial, harmful opinion. In the past, she has been fined for provoking discrimination and racial hatred against the Muslim community in France.

Over the last few months, many actresses have shared stories about the unequal power dynamic in the film industry, and several have revolved around meetings with producers that amounted more or less to an aggressive flirting session. Ellen Pompeo summed up the problem well in a recent piece for The Hollywood Reporter, saying that she once took a meeting with now-disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein where she largely batted her eyelashes and tried to charm him. It’s part of a sordid tradition for aspiring stars, she claimed: “You think, ‘Not only do I have to show that I’m a good actress, but that director also has to in some way fall in love with me and at least become enamored with me.’ That never felt right or good to me.”

In addition, many of the women who have come forward with claims against Weinstein were told he would offer roles in exchange for inappropriate sexual favors. He allegedly tried to entice women by sharing which big-name stars he had supposedly slept with previously. Through a spokesperson, Weinstein has denied all allegations of nonconsensual acts.

Similarly, two women who have come forward against director and producer Brett Ratner have claimed that Ratner propositioned them in exchange for bit parts on Rush Hour 2. Ratner, through his attorney Martin Singer, has denied the charges.

Bardot’s comments arrive just days after 100 French women shared their controversial stance on the #MeToo crowd and its effects on men.

“Rape is a crime but insistent or clumsy flirting is not, nor is gallantry a macho aggression,” the letter read. “Men have been punished summarily, forced out of their jobs when all they did was touch someone’s knee or try to steal a kiss.”

It was signed by prominent French stars, including actress Catherine Deneuve. However, it seems Deneuve has already had a change of heart. After the outpour of backlash, in addition to sudden support from people she considers reprehensible, the actress published a letter in the newspaper Liberation apologizing to victims of sexual harassment.

“I fraternally salute all women victims of odious acts who may have felt aggrieved by the letter in Le Monde,” she wrote. “It is to them, and them alone, that I offer my apologies.”

The actress acknowledged that, over the course of her long career, she has witnessed uncomfortable situations and has heard stories of filmmakers abusing their power, creating “traumatic and untenable situations.”

Deneuve also spoke out specifically against French radio host and former porn star Brigitte Lahaie, one of the women who signed the original letter, who later said that some women can enjoy being raped. (She later apologized, saying, “What I meant to say,— because I know matters of sexuality by heart—, is that sometimes the body and the mind do not coincide.”) Deneuve said Lahaie’s comments were “worse than spitting in the face of all those who have suffered this crime.“

She also distanced herself more broadly from some of the supporters of the original letter: “That is why I would like to say to conservatives, racists, and traditionalists of all shades who decided it was strategic to give me their support that I am no dupe. They will have neither my gratitude nor my friendship. To the contrary. I am a liberated woman and I will stay that way.”
