Brigitte Macron Faces Deep Anxiety from False Transgender Rumors, Daughter Says
Brigitte Macron deals with ongoing stress from online lies. Her daughter Tiphaine Auzière shared this in court.
Auzière testified in a Paris trial this week. She said the false claims that her mother was born a man cause deep anxiety. These rumors started in 2021 and spread fast online.
The claims say Brigitte was once named Jean-Michel Trogneux. That is actually her brother’s real name. They are baseless and have been debunked many times.
Brigitte told investigators the lies hurt her mind and body. They also affect her family life. The first lady pushes back with lawsuits.
Ten people face charges for cyberbullying. The trial looks at how these posts went viral. It mixes transphobia, fake news, and conspiracy talk.
Brigitte and her husband Emmanuel sued bloggers in France. They won a defamation case before. Now, they fight in a US court too against influencer Candace Owens.
The Macrons plan to show photos and science proof. This aims to end the rumors once and for all. Auzière hopes speaking out helps her mom heal.
The case highlights risks of online hate. It shows how false stories can harm real people. Many call for better ways to stop such bullying.
