French President Emmanuel Macron, 46, has finally broken his silence to address rumors that his wife Brigitte, 70, was born a man.
Macron responds to rumors about his wife
Speaking at an International Women’s Day event in Paris on Friday after guaranteeing the right to abortion in the French Constitution, Macron became emotional and angry when addressing rumors currently circulating about his wife, whom he married in 2007 after having an affair with her as a teenager, when he was a student and she was his teacher.
The Daily Mail reported that Macron defended his wife from the rumors while expressing his frustration that they continue to spread.
“The worst thing is false information and made-up scenarios,” he lamented. “People ultimately believe it and disturb you, even in your privacy.”
Macron went on to say that the transgender claims about Brigitte are typical of the online misogynistic attacks that women are forced to endure every day.

Brigitte’s daughter seems out of her mind
Brigitte’s lookalike daughter, lawyer Tiphaine Auzaine, 40, recently spoke out in defense of her mother in a rare interview.
“I am concerned about the level of society when I hear what is circulating on social networks about my mother being a man,” Auzaine said last month, according to the New York Post. “Confidence in what is stated and the credit given to what is announced. Anyone can say anything about anyone and it takes time to remove it.
Last summer, a Normandy court issued a defamation ruling against two French women, psychic Amandine Roy, 52, and freelance journalist Natacha Rey, 48, after they said in a four-hour YouTube video in 2021, later deleted, that Brigitte was born to a boy named Jean-Michel Trogneux in 1953. This is actually the name of the brother of the French First Lady.
They also claimed that Brigitte’s first husband, André-Louis Auzière, had never actually existed before he died in 2019 at the age of 68. Rey claimed that Jean-Louis Auzière, André-Louis’ uncle, had forged official documents to hide him. his wife had given birth to all three of Brigitte’s children. Roy was fined less than $1,000 while Rey was fined $500.

Candace Owens intervenes
Earlier this week, American conservative media personality Candace Owens expanded on claims that Brigitte was born a man.
“I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is actually a man,” she said later, according to Yahoo News. “Any journalist or publication that seeks to dismiss this plausibility is immediately identifiable as an institution. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. The implications here are terrifying.”
Owens believes the Macrons are being blackmailed to keep Brigitte’s alleged history of being born male a secret, and that the blackmail includes pressuring the president to support certain policies. Check out his full comments on this in the video below.
In some circles, the rumor that former American first lady Michelle Obama is actually transgender has been spreading for years. It will certainly be interesting to see if more evidence comes out to support the claims that Brigitte Macron was born male.
