Ten on Trial in Paris over Sexist Cyber-Harassment of Brigitte Macron
- On Tuesday, October 28 in Paris, Tiphaine Auzière, Brigitte Macron's daughter, will testify on the trial's second day about the deterioration of her mother's life from alleged cyberbullying.
- Emerging after Emmanuel Macron's 2017 election, false claims about Brigitte Macron's gender were amplified by far-right and conspiracy theorist circles in France and the U.S., and a complaint filed in August 2024 triggered investigations and arrests in December 2024 and February 2025.
- Tiphaine Auzière described how the family faces consequences, including grandchildren being told 'Your grandmother is a man,' and her mother must be careful about outfits and posture, causing deterioration in daily life.
- They face up to two years in prison if convicted, a verdict is expected at a later date, and Brigitte Macron, who did not attend the hearings, remains absent from court.
- Several defendants shared posts from a U.S. influencer, while some claimed 'freedom of speech' and 'satire' as the Macrons plan to offer 'scientific' evidence in their U.S. defamation action.
