Well, I knew that the former screen star and France's first sex symbol mixed animal rights activism with right-wing political leanings and that some years ago, she'd had a boyfriend who was either a member of France's neo-fascist Front National party or close to it.

But I hadn't heard that she had and more importantly publicized racist views !
Which is incredible, 'cause I live in France ! And this is the 4th time she's been sued for spreading racist views ? How did I miss this ? Are the media here protecting her image to the point of not reporting her troubles with the law and anti-racist groups ?
Thanks for the post, Michael.
