Macron Responds to Viral ‘Slap’ Video Involving Wife Brigitte
A video of French President Emmanuel Macron appearing to be slapped by his wife, Brigitte, during their arrival in Vietnam has gone viral. The clip shows Brigitte seemingly pushing his face as they exit their plane, sparking speculation online.
A lip reader claimed Brigitte told Macron, “Stay away, you loser,” while he reportedly responded, “Let’s try, please?”—to which she allegedly replied, “No.”
Macron has since dismissed the buzz, telling reporters the couple was just “horsing around” and that the moment has been blown out of proportion. His office also described it as a private, playful exchange misinterpreted by the public.
Tensions or not, the moment has captured global attention—and scrutiny.
