Just a few months after the death of Jacques Charrier, who passed away on September 3 at the age of 88, Nicolas Charrier also lost his mother, Brigitte Bardot. Initially strained and complex, their relationship gradually improved, thanks in particular to the intervention of Bernard d\u2019Ormale. The latter, who has been Brigitte Bardot\u2019s husband since 1992, worked tirelessly to bring mother and son closer. \u201cI suggested to Brigitte that she visit her son, and that was that, it went well,\u201d he told Paris Match last September. \u201cThey don\u2019t see each other much, but he\u2019s often come to La Madrague. And they talk on the phone regularly. Just the day before yesterday!\u201d he adds. It was far from a sure thing at the start\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">In the late 1950s, Brigitte Bardot, who had already undergone several abortions, still had no plans to become a mother, least of all with her then-partner, Jacques Charrier. \u201cShe could be happy. Quite the opposite. Love is untamed savagery. She doesn\u2019t want this child. Not ready. No desire. Not with this man, Charrier, who is becoming increasingly possessive, whom she knows to be fragile, sometimes violent,\u201d recounts Pascal Louvrier in his book, V\u00e9rit\u00e9 BB (\u00c9d. Le Passeur). But fate had other plans for her.<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">Brigitte Bardot and her complex relationship with motherhood: \u201cI would have preferred\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">Once pregnant, Brigitte Bardot had no choice but to marry, to conform. At least, that\u2019s what her father, Louis, thought. Faced with her reluctance on her wedding day, he reminded her of her obligations: \u201cYou\u2019re pregnant, don\u2019t forget it. You must marry the father.\u201d And so she did on June 18, 1959, at a small ceremony held in Louveciennes (Yvelines), the Bardot family\u2019s ancestral home. While the pressure surrounding marriage was trying, her pregnancy was even more so. In her book, Initiales BB, published in 1996, the star spoke candidly about it: \u201cIt was like a tumor that had fed on me, that I had carried in my swollen flesh, waiting only for the blessed moment when I would finally be rid of it. The nightmare reached its peak; I had to bear the source of my misfortune for the rest of my life.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">On January 11, 1960, the actress gave birth to a boy, named Nicolas. She was 25 years old and didn\u2019t feel ready to face motherhood. \u201cWhen they placed the child on her stomach, she was so exhausted that she pushed it away,\u201d recounts Marie-Dominique Leli\u00e8vre in Brigitte Bardot, plein la vue (Flammarion). Later, she would speak very harshly about this event, stating: \u201cI would have preferred to give birth to a puppy.\u201d In an interview with journalist Caroline Pigozzi of Paris Match, reported in the book Pourquoi eux (Plon), Brigitte Bardot suggests that \u201cit certainly wasn\u2019t the right time to have a child.\u201d She explains: \u201cI was suicidal every three minutes, doing nothing but stupid things, but you don\u2019t get to choose; the timing was bad and everyone suffered.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following her death on Sunday, December 28, at the age of 91, Brigitte Bardot leaves behind her only son, Nicolas.
