Brigitte Bardot's inheritance: tensions around La Madrague and the Foundation
After Brigitte Bardot's death, Bernard d'Ormale, her last husband, states on October 27, 2026 that he is denied access to La Madrague, a property that has passed to the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, and denounces a "scandal". The same day, Frédéric Chatillon is removed from the Foundation following revelations by Libération and the election of a new president at its head.

On October 29, the Foundation's director general responds to Bernard d'Ormale's accusations. On October 30, he files a complaint against the Foundation, and journalist Wendy Bouchard denounces a "violated" memory.
