Brigitte Macron, President Emmanuel Macron’s wife and First Lady of France, has returned to the public eye after a widely shared video purportedly showed her slapping or pushing the president on an aircraft in Vietnam. Later, Emmanuel Macron alerted reporters that such videos are frequently misrepresented by what he called “crackpots.” He clarified the incident was “nothing”, but just “bickering, or rather joking” with his wife.
The French President mentioned another incident in which people on social media misconstrued a tissue he picked up on a train ride to Ukraine as cocaine. Although the video generated interest and controversy, Brigitte Macron is accustomed to making headlines for her private life, public demeanor, and position in French politics.
