Overview
- Foundation leaders and executor François‑Xavier Kelidjian began a formal inventory at La Madrague on Wednesday and say they are cataloguing the property and its contents.
- The Fondation reports that several high‑value personal items have disappeared, specifically naming Brigitte Bardot’s Mini Moke and saying whole bags of belongings were removed from the house.
- The foundation has restricted access to the property while the inventory continues and officials say the findings will be used to determine next steps.
- Bernard d’Ormale has denied taking or seeking Bardot’s money and issued a statement saying he does not claim the inheritance, while press reports this week published a 2022 handwritten letter from Bardot sharply criticizing him.
- La Madrague was left to the Fondation by Bardot in the 1990s and the dispute over control and missing items will be decided under French succession rules and possible legal review.
