Brigitte Bardot's legacy: tensions around the Foundation and La Madrague
After Brigitte Bardot's death, Frédéric Chatillon is removed from the Brigitte Bardot Foundation following revelations by Libération and the election of a new president. The same day, Bernard d'Ormale, the actress's widower, says he is denied access to La Madrague, a property returned to the Foundation, and denounces a "scandal". On October 28, Brigitte Bardot's last companion criticizes Max Guazzini and the Foundation, while Bernard d'Ormale announces he will be able to retrieve his belongings the following week. The Foundation then responds to his accusations, before Bernard d'Ormale files a complaint against it on October 30; journalist Wendy Bouchard denounces on her side a "violated" memory. On November 2, Max Guazzini rejects animal abuse accusations published by Paris Match and blames the deceased actress's employees.
