French cinema icon Brigitte Bardot has reportedly returned to the hospital, sparking renewed concern regarding her health just weeks after a previous stay. According to local media reports, the 90-year-old actress was readmitted to a clinic in Toulon in mid-November.
Key Details
- Location: Saint-Jean Clinic in Toulon, France.
- Timeline: Readmitted in mid-November; reportedly hospitalized for approximately 10 days.
- Previous Stay: Underwent surgery in October before returning to Saint-Tropez.
- Recent Statement: Bardot recently denied death rumors via social media.
Return to Saint-Jean Clinic
According to reports from the French newspaper Nice Matin, Brigitte Bardot is currently receiving care at the private Saint-Jean clinic in Toulon. The publication indicates that the actress was admitted roughly ten days ago, marking her second hospitalization this season.
This development follows a difficult period for the star’s health. In October, Bardot spent time in the same facility to undergo surgery for what was described as a serious illness. Following that procedure, she was discharged later in the month and allowed to return to her iconic home, La Madrague, in Saint-Tropez for recovery.
Combating False Narratives
The news of her readmission comes shortly after Bardot herself took to social media to address viral hoaxes claiming she had passed away. Following her discharge in October, speculation about her condition intensified, prompting the actress to issue a fiery clarification on platform X (formerly Twitter).
In a direct message to her followers, Bardot dispelled the rumors with her characteristic bluntness:
I don’t know who the idiot is who started the false news of my departure, but know that I am fine and I have no intention of saying goodbye.

A History of Health Concerns
While Bardot has largely retired from the public eye to focus on animal rights activism, her health has occasionally made headlines in recent years. Two years prior to these recent hospitalizations, emergency services were called to her residence in Saint-Tropez following reports that she was suffering from respiratory difficulties.
The nature of her current condition has not been officially detailed beyond the reports of her continued stay in Toulon.
