The President of France for the first time commented on rumors that his wife was born a man
French President Emmanuel Macron has spoken out for the first time about claims that his wife Brigitte was born a man. According to the Daily Mail, he did this at a reception in honor of International Women's Day on Friday — after writing the right to abortion into the country's Constitution.
“The worst thing is false information and fabricated scenarios. People end up believing them and harassing you, even your loved ones,” the French leader said. He also said that rumors about Ms Macron are being started by transgender people and are nothing more than attacks from misogynists that women have to put up with every day.
A new wave of discussion about Brigitte Macron arose after her daughter first commented on rumors that she was born a man. Thiphane Ozier, 40, told Paris Match magazine: “I worry about the level of society when I hear that information is being spread on social networks that my mother is a man.” At the same time, she said that at the age of 10 she was very embarrassed that her 40-year-old teacher mother was dating a 15-year-old teenager, Emmanuel Macron.
For the first time, the wife of the French President was born a man, said 52-year-old clairvoyant Amandine Roy and 48-year-old freelance journalist Natasha Ray in 2021. They released a four-hour video investigation into this matter. In it, they claimed that Brigitte was actually born a boy under the name Jean-Michel Tronier in 1953. This is the name of the real brother of the First Lady of France. A court in Normandy fined each of the women the equivalent of £1,700 for libel.
Rumors about Ms Macron were picked up by the far right in 2022, as the president campaigned for re-election. And they calmed down after the end of the presidential elections.
