Brigitte Bardot Denies Viral Death Rumours

Brigitte Bardot, 91, took to X on Oct. 22 to dismiss viral death rumours as “fake news,” saying she is fine and has “no intention of taking my leave.” The false report originated with influencer Aqababe (Aniss Zitouni), who posted — then deleted — claims that Bardot had died and even alleged a coffin had been ordered. Her representatives said she recently spent about three weeks in a private Toulon hospital for a minor surgery after a reported “serious illness” and has returned to her Saint-Tropez home to rest. The episode follows prior health scares, including a 2023 breathing incident, and has highlighted how quickly misinformation can spread about high‑profile, elderly figures.
