LATE film icon Brigitte Bardot accused her last husband of “destroying” her as she cut him from her will, it has emerged.
She told him in a letter: “You have patiently destroyed me, day after day, for 30 years.”
Bernard d’Ormale, 85, was until last year living in luxury in Saint-Tropez with the French ex-actress.
But when she died in December, aged 91, she left him nothing, sparking a bitter dispute.
A 2022 note has been released in which she says: “I am in such desperate need of a shoulder to lean on, of support, of tenderness, of a presence — things you are simply incapable of giving me. Checkmate!”
He has been evicted from their home, with all of Ms Bardot’s estate going to her animal charity foundation and son Nicolas Charrier, 66.

Mr d’Ormale’s lawyer has said that “he was treated deplorably.”
Four times-wed Ms Bardot was in 45 films and a singer before retiring from public life in 1973.
A foundation spokesman said Mr d’Ormale has been “well-supported”.
Bardot also had a number of other high-profile relationships, including with the singer Serge Gainsbourg.
