France’s first lady, Brigitte Macron, is going to trial in a Paris court to fight “conspiracy theory” claims that she was born a man.
The claims that Brigitte Macron is male were supported by conservative commentator Candice Owens last month.
“After looking into this, I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man,” Owens wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“Any journalist or publication that is trying to dismiss this plausibility is immediately identifiable as establishment. I have never seen anything like this in my life.”
“The implications here are terrifying.”
The official story of Brigitte, 70, is that she met Emmanuel Macron in northern France when he was 15 years old and that she was his drama teacher.
The couple wed in 2007.
However, many claim the details about how the two met are nothing more than a fake story to hide the fact that Brigitte is a man from the public.
Macron’s libel trial is set for June, where she will face off against freelance journalist Natacha Rey, who claims the establishment is hiding the First Lady’s true identity, The New York Post reported.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron angrily hit back at the rumors, calling them “false and fabricated.”
Macron also appeared emotional about the ongoing speculation about his wife’s gender.
“The worst thing is the false information and fabricated scenarios,” Macron said at an International Women’s Day event in Paris in February after he guaranteed the right to abortion in France’s Constitution.
“People eventually believe them and disturb you, even in your intimacy.”
Macrons’s daughter, Tiphaine Auzière, 40, told Paris Match magazine:
“I have concerns about the level of society when I hear what is circulating on social networks about my mother being a man,” Auzière stated.
“The confidence of what is affirmed and the credit given to what is proclaimed. Anyone can say anything about anyone, and it takes time to get it taken down.”
Rumors began swirling in 2021 when freelance journalist Rey and Amandine Roy, 53, made a YouTube video claiming Brigitte was born as a baby boy called Jean-Michel Trogneux in 1953.
Following Owen’s Tweet, Brigitte’s Paris lawyer, Jean Ennochi, requested the trial date involving the defamation case against Rey be moved up to June 2024.
