Seberg was among the best-known targets of the FBI’s COINTELPRO project. Her targeting was in retaliation for her support of the Black Panther Party and was directly ordered by J. Edgar Hoover.

In 1970, the FBI created a false story from a San Francisco-based informant that the child Seberg was carrying was not fathered by her ex-husband Romain Gary, as initially claimed, but by Raymond Hewitt, a member of the Black Panther Party… Seberg went into premature labor and, on August 23, 1970, gave birth to a 4 lb (1.8 kg) baby girl. The child died two days later.

Police found a bottle of barbiturates, an empty mineral water bottle, and a note written in French by Seberg addressed to her son. It read in part, “Forgive me. I can no longer live with my nerves.”[

The fascists behind the FBI drove her to suicide by ruining her life and killing her child. The poor woman lost literally everything because others hated who she loved.
