Following Bardot’s death at 91, Roan, 27, expressed her admiration for the actress, writing, “Rest in peace Ms. Bardot. She was my inspiration for ‘Red Wine Supernova,'” via her Instagram Story on December 28.

Chappell Roan praised the actress before learning about her political views.
Bardot stirred controversy in her book, A Cry in the Silence, where she allegedly incited racial hatred and made derogatory remarks about LGBTQ+ individuals. The backlash continued in 2018 when she dismissed the #MeToo movement, stating, “I thought it was nice to be told that I was beautiful or that I had a nice little a--.”
Roan, who featured Bardot in her 2023 hit "Red Wine Supernova," had previously celebrated the actress's impact on her life. In the song, she sings, “She was a playboy, Brigitte Bardot / She showed me things I didn’t know.”
However, after learning about Bardot’s political stance, Roan no longer holds her in high regard.

Roan's reaction is not surprising given her commitment to advocating for acceptance and inclusivity. "There’s so many things in the world that are so ‘f--- you’ and like, then there is this," she told fans during a show in Los Angeles in October. "The only thing that matters anymore is joy to me. And protecting that, and peace and safety."
