20 October 2004 (WENN)
French sixties siren Brigitte Bardot is celebrating after a Paris court threw out a defamation lawsuit against her. Radio Courtesy host Marc-Olivier Fogiel infuriated the ...And God Created Woman actress during a May 12, 2003 broadcast, when he insisted she talk about her controversial best-selling book Un Cri Dans Le Silence (A Cry In The Silence). Bardot, 70, was convicted in June of inciting racial hatred in her 2003 book with her comments comparing Muslims to "invaders, cruel and barbaric". On Monday the Parisian court ruled Bardot had been provoked into calling Fogiel "a little jerk". Judge Nicolas Bonnal agreed that "the expression little jerk seemed injurious" toward the presenter. Bonnal added, "There is a direct relationship between provocation and injury, appearing proportional to it. The injury can be excused."

15 May 2003 (WENN)
French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot has landed herself in trouble with anti-racism campaigners after criticizing Muslims in a new book. Anti-racist group MRAP and the Human Rights League both said they were filing a complaint in court against Bardot, 68, for remarks made in her book A Scream In The Silence. In the book, she wrote, "I am against the Islamization of France. For centuries our forefathers ... our fathers gave their lives to chase all successive invaders from France." France, home to about five million Muslims, is in the midst of a fierce debate over the wearing of the traditional Muslim head scarf in the country's secular schools. In 1997 and 1998, Bardot was convicted of inciting racial hatred and fined a total of $5,400 in published criticism of Arab customs and the role of Islam in France. In her first television interview in seven years on Monday, Bardot defended her comments, saying she was not ashamed of her opinions. The And God Created Woman sex kitten put her film career behind her 30 years ago to concentrate on her role as an animal rights activist. She started the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in 1986.
