Vogue has removed an X (formerly Twitter) post that linked to an article by Emma Specter, which addressed concerns about Birgitte Bardot’s controversial remarks and character. The article reportedly critiqued Bardot, highlighting her alleged xenophobic comments and urging readers not to overlook these aspects of her public persona.
The decision to delete the post came amid rapid social media backlash. Many users expressed disagreement with Vogue’s initial sharing of the article, prompting the fashion magazine to promptly remove the link. The incident has sparked discussions about how media outlets handle controversial topics and the importance of context when discussing public figures with complex or problematic histories.
Vogue has not issued a detailed statement regarding the removal. The incident underscores ongoing debates around accountability and responsible sharing in the digital age, particularly when discussing sensitive issues related to celebrity and historical figures.
