A court in Paris has ruled against ten people for perpetrating the cyber-bullying of Brigitte Macron, the spouse of French President, Emmanuel Macron.
The accused individuals faced allegations of disseminating untruths regarding her gender and sexuality, in addition to making malicious remarks about the pair's significant age difference.
The court issued suspended prison sentences of as much as eight months to the perpetrators. The complete verdict has still to be made public.
A persistent false narrative claiming that Brigitte Macron is a transgender woman has existed since her husband's initial election in 2017.
This recent ruling in France is concurrent with the Macrons engaging in a legal action for defamation in the United States of America against conservative commentator Candace Owens, who has also voiced comparable unfounded claims about the Brigitte Macron's identity.
Their complaint alleges that Owens brushed aside any factual proof that refuted her assertions in favour of amplify the voices of notorious conspiracy peddlers.
Owens has often echoed these allegations on her show and social networks, and in March 2024 stated that she would risk all her credibility on her belief that Mrs. Macron was born a man.
Brigitte Macron first met her current spouse when she was a teacher at his secondary school.
The pair tied the knot in 2007, when the future French president was 29 and she was 54.
