Defamation Case Cleared: Women Vindicated in Brigitte Macron Scandal
SCANDAL ROCKS FRANCE: First Lady Brigitte Macron Sued for Libel After Shocking Allegations
In a stunning turn of events, two women have been cleared on appeal after claiming that France's First Lady, Brigitte Macron, was "born a man"! The sensational allegations, made by 53-year-old clairvoyant Amandine Roy and 49-year-old blogger Natacha Rey in a four-hour YouTube video, have sent shockwaves throughout the country.
The controversy began when Roy and Rey claimed that Brigitte, the wife of President Emmanuel Macron, was actually born Jean-Michel Trogneux in 1953 - the same name as her brother. The pair also alleged that Brigitte's first husband, André-Louis Auzière, never existed before his reported death in 2020.
The original court ruling found Roy and Rey guilty of libel and slapped them with a fine equivalent to £1700 each. However, on appeal, the judges at the Paris Appeal Court ruled that the women had every right to make their allegations, which they claimed were protected by "good faith" free speech.
The verdict has left Brigitte Macron reeling, with her lawyers indicating that she is "devastated" and plans to take the case to France's Cassation Court. The First Lady was not present in court to hear the ruling, as she was busy on a state visit to Britain with her husband.
This latest controversy comes as Brigitte Macron faces increasing scrutiny over her personal life. A new book, "Becoming Brigitte", has sparked conspiracy theories and rumors about her relationship with President Macron, who is 24 years her junior.
But that's not all - four male defendants are set to go on trial for cyber-harassment after making malicious comments about Brigitte Macron's gender and sexuality. The case has been described as a "witch hunt" by some, with one lawyer claiming that the prosecution is taking an "obvious political direction".
In related news, President Macron's State Visit to Britain has been overshadowed by tragedy, with the sudden death of his older sister, Anne-Marie Trogneux, aged 93. The First Lady was said to be "devastated" by the loss and has been struggling to cope.
Meanwhile, footage has emerged of Brigitte Macron appearing to slap her husband's face during a state visit to Vietnam in May. The couple has denied any domestic abuse, attributing the incident to a minor squabble.
The Macron marriage has always been shrouded in controversy, with some claiming that their relationship was "dangerously irresponsible" given the significant age gap between them. Brigitte Macron has spoken publicly about the rumors surrounding her marriage, saying: "You can imagine what they were hearing. But I didn’t want to miss out on my life."
As the scandal continues to unfold, one thing is certain - the world will be watching with bated breath as this drama unfolds.
