@nickfromupnorth @flargh Alt text: newspaper article excerpt: In 1999, she lamented the "invasion" of her homeland by "an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims", a crusade she continued throughout the 2000s, despite frequent fines. Her 2003 book Un cri dans le silence attacked, in addition to Muslims, gays, the unemployed, illegal immigrants and teachers, and called for a return of the guillotine. Her final conviction came in 2021, for calling the Hindu Tamils of Réunion, a French territory in the Indian Ocean,
"degenerate savages".
Her eccentricities were, as a rule, not widely noticed outside France until 2018, when she dismissed the actresses coming forward with #MeToo allegations as
"hypocritical, ridiculous, and without interest... lots of actresses will try to play the tease with producers to get a role and then they say they were harassed".
She ended her life as a recluse.
