French film icon Brigitte Bardot, who passed away at 91, was known for her acting career and a history of legal issues stemming from controversial remarks about Muslims and immigrants. Between 1997 and 2008, she was fined multiple times for statements describing Muslims as destructive and accusing them of "invading" France and imposing their acts. These remarks, often linked to her concerns about animal welfare and "Islamisation," led to charges of inciting hatred and discrimination.
