France's First Lady Brigitte Macron is locked in a fierce battle against online trolls and conspiracy theorists, according to a shocking insider account. The 70-year-old former teacher has faced relentless attacks questioning her identity and past, with some even claiming she was born a man.
The Élysée's Silent War
Sources close to the presidential palace reveal Brigitte has been deeply affected by the persistent online harassment. "It's become a daily struggle," confides one aide. "These baseless claims resurface constantly despite being repeatedly debunked."
The Bizarre Conspiracy Theories
Among the most persistent falsehoods circulating online:
- Claims Brigitte was born Jean-Michel Trogneux
- Allegations of a secret gender transition
- Fabricated stories about her teaching career
- False documents purporting to prove the theories
Psychological Toll: Insiders say the First Lady has developed coping mechanisms but remains frustrated by the inability to stop the viral spread of misinformation.
The Fight Back Strategy
The Élysée has reportedly adopted a multi-pronged approach:
- Legal action against the most egregious offenders
- Working with social media platforms to remove harmful content
- Discreetly providing factual information to journalists
- Encouraging supporters to report abusive content
Yet the battle continues, with new conspiracy theories emerging regularly. As one advisor lamented: "The truth moves at walking pace while lies travel at the speed of light."
