Brigitte Bardot, “recluse” because of her husband? He gives his version of the facts
“He missed someone who would hold his hand, who would kiss him… Someone who would connect you to life (…) Apart from Bernard, no one was there to hold his hand and tell him: ‘You need to eat and drink’. It is because of this emotional isolation that she let herself slip“, assured a member of Brigitte Bardot’s medical team to Paris Match. Comments indicating that the former icon of French cinema, who died on December 28 at the age of 91, would have been sidelined by her husband and that both would have lived “recluse” for a time.
But he hastened to put things straight with France Sunday : “Very surrounded ‘recluses’! The doctors, nurses and the Foundation team accompanied Brigitte until the end (…) She simply needed calm to regain her strength.“.
Brigitte Bardot “betrayed”: “She protected herself…”
If we are to believe Bernard d’Ormale, the animal lover preferred to stay alone and “protected herself because all her life she had been betrayed“, notably by the media which were its “historical partners“such as Paris Match Or Nice MorningAnd “made the trash by publishing false rumors and false information with the sole aim of selling paper“, but also “by his secretary in the 1960s, by the spokesperson for his Foundation on the eve of his 90th birthday, who left the ship without even bothering to call him“.
Christophe Marie, former spokesperson for the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, however contacted us, wishing to deny these remarks. “I would like to point out that this is completely false, that we had several discussions with Brigitte before my departure and that she assured me, in June 2024, therefore well before her birthday, that she understood the reasons for my departure.“, he assured us before adding: “It was painful for both of us, but I will always have sincere affection and total respect for Brigitte and for the work she created. That Brigitte was betrayed is obvious, she still is today and I regret it because she does not deserve it.”
According to Bernard d’Ormale, the 91-year-old star no longer felt the desire to continue living: “She suffered a lot during the last weeks and knew that this suffering would last for several more months.” Despite the “courage“which she demonstrated after the multiple surgical interventions undergone in recent times, she”considered having had a good life and was very tired of no longer being in control of things“. She had “everything chosen during his existence“and therefore”chose its ending“.
