French actress and activist Brigitte Bardot has shut down rumors surrounding her alleged death, calling out the “idiot” who spread misinformation.

Bardot, 91, posted a message on X, dispelling the rumor. “I don’t know which idiot started this fake news about my [death],” she wrote, “but know that I’m fine.”

One of the early sources of the death hoax appears to be Zitouni, a 27-year-old French influencer who runs a celebrity gossip account under the name Aquababe.

Zitouni deleted his original post after Bardot’s statement, but didn’t seem entirely convinced.

He wrote to followers that while he deleted the rumor, Bardot does not run her account on X. “You’ll see when AFP makes the official announcement of her death,” he insisted. This post has also been deleted.
