Brigitte Macron, First Lady of France, lodged a case in 2021 against two women who uploaded a YouTube video entitled “Brigitte Macron is a man.” The video in question proclaimed that Brigitte underwent gender reassignment surgery at the age of 18. 

ZeroHedge reported that Brigitte’s complaint about the video and the two women had been voided by a judge in Paris.

The report, originally published by French newspaper Le Point, stated: “In its decision, consulted by AFP, the court declared void the summons issued by Brigitte Macron for invasion of privacy and image rights, considering that the facts she denounced should have been qualified [under] public defamation.”

In December 2021, the two women — one posing as an independent journalist and the other one as a clairvoyant — said in a YouTube video that Emmanuel Macron’s wife was in fact born as a male named Jean-Michel Trogneux (which is the actual name of Brigitte Macron’s brother). They also claimed that Brigitte Macron’s first husband never existed and that she didn’t carry her three children.

The Macron family apparently requested that the court condemn the two women and pay for damages after broadcasting the baseless video on the alleged medium’s YouTube channel, adding that the accusations were “a perfectly eccentric thesis.”
