Brigette Macron is the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, and she’s the target of internet rumors that have falsely stated that she’s transgender. She's now taking legal action.

The rumors claim that the French first lady was born male under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux and were published on a far-right website in September. From there, the rumors were widely circulated across the internet by conspiracy theorists, according to the BBC.

Natacha Rey is one of the figures that has pushed the lies about Macron in a far-right journal. After Rey’s piece was published it began picking up traction and was discussed in YouTube videos that were later shared by people opposed to vaccines, skeptics of COVID-19 and far-right activists.

The rumors about Macron even inspired a hashtag on Twitter, #JeanMichelTrogneux, which first appeared online on Nov. 1 and took on a surge in popularity in early December, according to Euronews.

However, Macron is pushing back now with legal action, her lawyer confirming that, “she has decided to initiate proceedings, it is in progress,” according to BBC

Good for her -- I wouldn't want that label either!

Though someone should perhaps tell her about the First Amendment...

Ever heard of Big Mike?

Outcome American Revolution vs. French Revolution

Vive la difference!

Assuming her cells have chromosomes, that should be the easiest slanderous rumor to disprove that one can think of.

Where have we heard something like that before?

[Fledermaus]

Here’s another first Lady who probably peed standing up:

I hear he met her in club down in old Soho.

well given the way these lefties go on about how wonderful the lgbt crowd is, you’d think they’d take it as a compliment being considered for one

Macron should have never married his grandmother—problem solved.

9. You got the wrong woman. The photo should have been of Hillary. After all, she wears the pants in that family.

That’s mesopause, Baby.

She was a much older woman (his teacher) when they met.

Whenever you see a much older woman like this with a young man = BEARD.

He’s gay but in the closet and the older wife is meant to deflect questions and they have the convenience of no children given her age.

He and Obama were both closet gays as was Tim Kaine. Deep State likes queer candidates because they have that leverage over them. Exactly why they wanted the criminal Biden (a/k/a ‘Big Guy’) because they own the people they have dirt on. Complete corrupt pawns.

Yes, she was Macron’s school teacher....and married at the time. She ditched her husband and family to marry Macron.

To me, she looks a little like Lady Gaga with Karen hair.

did M.O the former F L start the rumor?

By the Left’s crack pot standards shouldn’t it be considered hate speech to suggest being called trans is “slander” or an “insult”?
