Brigitte Macron 'has been secretly driven to despair': How judge's ruling on claims she was born a man has unleashed an army of trolls and conspiracy theorists

French first lady Brigitte Macron was always renowned for her decorum and grace at the many high-profile public appearances that come with the role.

But lately she has made a number of missteps - being seen apparently ignoring and even slapping her President husband.

Now it can be revealed that her recent discomfort in the public eye is informed by a losing battle against a small army of trolls and conspiracy theorists which has driven her to despair.

The online abuse of the 72-year-old wife of President Emmanuel Macron, 47, is understood to have 'intensified significantly' in recent days.

The cue for this was a shock court ruling at which judges effectively sanctioned outlandish claims including that she was 'born a man' and that she had 'sexually abused' her future husband when he was a boy.

Ms Macron had hoped that the defamation case would finally bring an end to her years of torment by online trolls - but instead it has unleashed a new wave of abuse.

And Ms Macron is 'absolutely devastated' by last week's Paris Appeal Court ruling, sources have told us.

That cast exonerated two of her biggest critics, Amandine Roy, a 53-year-old clairvoyant, and blogger Natacha Rey, 49.

The case centred on a YouTube video posted by the pair in December 2021, making multiple poisonous claims about Ms Macron - which originally led to the pair being found guilty of libel and fined.

But all 18 challenges against their allegations have now been struck out, because they were 'made in good faith' and repeated claims that were already in the public domain.

After the convictions were dismissed, supporters of Roy and Rey hailed a landmark legal victory.

François Danglehant, one of the defendants' lawyers, said they had been 'hunted, persecuted and condemned' but were now free to express their opinions.

In turn, counsel for Ms Macron are taking the case to the Court of Cassation – one that can quash an Appeal Court decision.

'The situation is now intolerable,' said a legal source involved in the case.

'Those attacking Madame Macron now think they can say what they like, without any consequences.

'It is a disgraceful turn of events, and one that commentators all over the world are taking full advantage of.

'The abuse has certainly intensified – it has increased since this judgement'.

Candace Owens, the American media commentator and author, is among those who exclaimed 'We won! We won!' following Ms Macron's legal setback.

She said she would 'stake my entire professional career on the fact that Brigitte Macron, the current First Lady of France, was born a man…'

Ms Owens also claimed: 'Brigitte was never attacking the claim that she was born a man. She was being super petty and trying to get them on a technicality of defamation for misspeaking.'

In fact, Appeal Court sources have denied that the annulling of the libel convictions means the Roy and Rey claims are true.

The ruling – which MailOnline has studied in detail – simply states that the majority of their comments 'did not fall within the legal definition of defamation.'

One out of 18 points may have been a 'technical libel', and that was the 'shameful claim' that Ms Macron abused her future husband when he was a boy, said the Appeal Court source.

'However, the court dismissed this libel claim too,' said the source. 'Because it found that the women were acting in good faith, by basing their opinions on well-known facts.'

These included the fact that Emmanuel Macron was only 15 when he first grew close to the future Ms Macron, who was then his 40-year-old married teacher in their home town of Amiens, northern France.

It was also noted that Emmanuel Macron's parents, both doctors, never reported the relationship to the authorities.

This meant a crime could have taken place, but it was now outside the statute of limitations for prosecution.

It was Natacha Rey who was the principal source of the claim that Brigitte Macron was born a boy.

But the legal source said: 'The principal question is whether a complainant was dishonoured. In this case, there is nothing dishonourable about being transgender.'

France's Freedom of the Press law of 1881 states, 'Any allegation that harms the honour or reputation of the person or entity to whom the fact is attributed is defamation.'

The Court of Appeal judges said many of the Roy and Rey claims were 'too imprecise' or 'incoherent' to 'to determine a sufficiently precise accusation' that 'falls within the legal definition of defamation'.

The Macron marriage has always been subjected to vicious speculation, because of its beginnings.

It was in 1992, when the future president was a schoolboy at La Providence high school Amiens, that he first developed deep affection for his drama teacher, the then Brigitte Auzière, who was married with three young children.

Some claim the relationship became a dangerously irresponsible one – allegations both parties have always denied – but Ms Macron later admitted that being romantically linked 'with such a young boy was crippling,' especially in a Roman Catholic community.

She spoke of the rumours her own boy and two girls – one a classmate of young Emmanuel – had to deal with, saying: 'You can imagine what they were hearing. But I didn't want to miss out on my life.'

The couple finally wed in 2007, a decade before Mr Macron came from nowhere to win the French presidency as an independent candidate.

Jean Ennochi, Ms Macron's lawyer, confirmed that his client would be 'appealing to the Court of Cassation' over the quashing of the libel convictions.

The legal defeat is not the only torment to affect Ms Macron lately - MailOnline revealed last week that her older sister, to whom she was particularly close, had died.

Women who claimed Brigitte Macron was born a man are CLEARED of defamation

Two women convicted of defaming French first lady Brigitte Macron by saying she was ‘born a man’ were today sensationally cleared on appeal.

Judges sitting at the Paris Appeal Court on Thursday ruled that Amandine Roy, a 53-year-old clairvoyant, and Natacha Rey, 49 and a blogger, had every legal right to make the sulphurous allegations.

Both had claimed they were subjected to ‘intimidation by the authorities’ as ‘ultra protected’ members of the Paris establishment tried to cover up a ‘state secret’.

Lawyers for Ms Macron, 72, in turn indicated that she was ‘devastated’ by the development, and would be taking the case to France’s Cassation Court.

Ms Macron is currently returning from a State Visit to Britain with her husband, President Emmanuel Macron, so was not in court to hear today’s judgement.

Ms Roy and Ms Rey had had appeared on a four-hour YouTube video in December 2021 in which they claimed that Brigitte was in fact born as a baby boy called Jean-Michel Trogneux in 1953.

This is in fact the name of Brigitte’s brother, and Ms Macron was called Brigitte Trogneux before her first marriage.

The defendants also claimed that Brigitte’s first husband, André-Louis Auzière, had never actually existed before his reported death in 2020, aged 68.

A judge sitting at Lisieux, in Normandy, originally fined the two women the equivalent of £1700 each, after finding them both guilty of libel.

Following earlier appeals, Roy’s fine was reduced to £850, while Rey had £1300 of her£1700 finesuspended, meaning she had to pay just £400.

Now, neither will have to pay anything, and they will be able to repeat the allegations against Ms Macron.

Maud Marian, defence barrister for Roy, said: ‘We're acquitted!’, while François Danglehant, for Rey, also expressed great pleasure at the judgement.

The two women, who were not present when the judgment was announced, were sued for defamation by Ms Macron in January 2022.

Today’s court ruling states that the 18 passages of the video under consideration ‘do not constitute defamation’, and instead represent ‘good faith’ free speech.

It comes as Ms Macron finds herself increasingly under attack, not just in France, but across the world.

‘Becoming Brigitte’, a controversial book about her personal life written by journalist Xavier Poussard, is stirring up conspiracy theories, as is American influencer Candace Owen.

It comes as four male defendants prepare for their cyber-harassment trial at the Paris Correctional Court, after being accused of likening Ms Macron to a child abuser.

The process will focus on ‘numerous malicious comments about Brigitte Macron's gender and sexuality, as well as her age difference with her husband which have seen her likened to a paedophile,’ said a spokesman for Paris prosecutors.

He added: ‘On August 27, Brigitte Macron filed a complaint for cyberbullying, an offense punishable by two years of imprisonment.’

Among the accused is Aurelien Poirson-Atlan, a 41-year-old known on social media as ‘Zoe Sagan’, where he spreads multiple conspiracy theories.

There are three other defendants in the trial, and all deny the charges.

Juan Branco, defence barrister for Poirson-Atlan, said the prosecution was ‘taking an obvious political direction.’

He said it was particulalry outrageous that his client was being kept on remand for what amounted to a published matter of ‘free speech opinion’.

Ms Macron has been continuing with the State Visit to Britain, despite the sudden death of her older sister, Anne-Marie Trogneux, 93, less than a week.

This is the main reason Ms Macron has been looking so subdued and uncomfortable with her husband, said an aide who helped organise the high-profile trip.

‘Madame Macron adored her sister, and the loss has affected her greatly,’ said the source.

‘But she agreed that it was her duty to be in the United Kingdom, despite it coinciding with a period of mourning.’

It followed shocking video footage of Ms Macron appearing to slap her husband’s face when they touched down in Hanoi for a state visit to Vietnam in May.

The Macrons, who have been married since 2007, both denied any domestic abuse in their relationship, instead attributing the violence to a minor squabble.

The Macron marriage has always been subjected to hurtful speculation because of its beginnings.

It was in 1992 , when the future president was a schoolboy at La Providence high school Amiens, that he first developed deep affection for his drama teacher, the then 40-year-old Brigitte Auzière, who was married with three young children.

Some claim the relationship became a dangerously irresponsible one – allegations both parties have always denied – but Ms Macron later admitted that being romantically linked ‘with such a young boy was crippling,’ especially in a close-knit, Romant Catholic community.

She spoke of the rumours her own boy and two girls – one a classmate of young Emmanuel – had to deal with, saying: ‘You can imagine what they were hearing. But I didn’t want to miss out on my life.’

The couple finally wed in 2007, a decade before Mr Macron came from nowhere to win the French presidency as an independent candidate.

fuck that, go back to physical media.

no online BS at all.

that would fix everything.

it's totally ridiculous. Valve themselves censored games all the time, but not even based on any actual rules, but totally at random, just because some employee didn't like this or that game.

For example they banned the game Hatred, which is simply an isometric shooter. It's psychotic, but so is GTA. They don't ban GTA because it makes too many money. And in GTA 5 you literally torture an innocent man "in game".

They also love to ban games with girls dressed in school uniforms. No sex content required. As soon as you make a Japanese game with cute school girls, your game may get banned at random.

And of course the existing owners are fucked, because the developer will cease to release updates for the banned game.

*much money

>Start a family.

not with the current anti-males work-horse "laws" in place that fuck men over, even when the women cheated from the start and makes you raise her child (not yours).

If there was a real rule of law, this would be a clear contract violation, and the woman should have to pay everything back + damages + tip. But that doesn't happen.

btw. the state gets its share regarding "child" support and alimony, which is why no one is interested in changing anything and fixing it.

Therefore the only option men have to to stop simping and not funding all of that shit + working themselves to death for nothing in return.

>>23352374

They want a world with an actual rule of law, that doesn't fuck over males?

No, they don't.

Because children of single mothers are easier to control and are more likely to comply with any BS.

Tell most women that "the vaccines work" and "you don't want that your child gets polio, right???"

and most will immediately comply and let some quack inject shit into the baby.
