Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, has endured severe online harassment, including false claims about her gender and age difference with her husband. A Paris court recently convicted ten individuals for cyber-harassment, with sentences ranging from suspended prison terms to a six-month jail sentence. Brigitte’s daughter testified about the negative impact of the harassment on their family, while Brigitte aims to set an example in combating cyberbullying. The Macrons are also pursuing a defamation lawsuit in the U.S. against influencer Candace Owens for similar allegations.
