Brigitte Bardot’s Posthumous Memoir Will Call ‘Out the Men She Felt Had Behaved Badly’ (Exclusive)

Brigitte Bardot was working on an updated version of her 1995 memoir Initiales B.B. in the years prior to her death, Examiner has learned, and it promises to be heavy reading for some of her former romantic interests.

“She started to see things in her past very differently and that brought up a lot of anger that had been suppressed over the years,” a source says of the motivation behind the re-write. “Brigitte wanted to call out the men she felt had behaved badly instead of continuing to protect them the way she’d done for most of her life.”

Among Bardot’s many lovers was Warren Beatty.

The Bonnie and Clyde star, 88, “had a ferocious charm that was impossible to resist,” the French actress wrote in her autobiography. “Why or for whom would I have resisted him?”

“In her first memoir, Brigitte was very soft on Warren. She even claimed he’d helped her through a tough time,” says the source . “But apparently, the truth of it was a lot less flattering and in this new version, she tells the real story without sugarcoating it to protect anyone.”

Mick Jagger may also find himself referenced in Bardot’s new book.

“Mick isn’t someone Brigitte actually dated,” the source says of the Rolling Stones frontman, 82. “By all accounts, he just relentlessly pursued her to the point it made her uncomfortable, which is something that’s covered in this new memoir as well.”

The Contempt star — who was critical of the #MeToo movement in 2018 and defended fellow French actor Gérard Depardieu when he was convicted for sexual assault — passed away in late December at age 91 before the revised book could be published.

But “it will be released,” reveals the source, “and there’s no doubt it’ll be embarrassing and difficult for the people she names.”
