Brigitte Bardot said her long-time partner had "destroyed her" in a newly released letter, shining a light on their tortured relationship.
In a handwritten message, the French actress reportedly told her long-time lover Bernard d'Ormale in 2022: "You have destroyed me patiently, day after day, for 30 years."
She writes: "I so desperately need a shoulder to lean on, some support, some tenderness, a presence that you are incapable of giving me – Checkmate!"
