Macron Dismisses Online Rumors, Affirms Affectionate Nature Of Wife’s Gesture Captured In Viral Clip
A viral video showed French President Emmanuel Macron being unexpectedly pushed in the face by his wife, Brigitte Macron, as they exited a plane in Vietnam. The surprising clip sparked shock, confusion, and speculation online, with many criticizing the public nature of the incident.
Emmanuel appeared startled but tried to stay composed, later waving to the crowd alone. Brigitte followed, ignoring his gesture. Viewers described the moment as embarrassing, awkward, and disrespectful.
In Hanoi, Macron dismissed the incident as a playful exchange blown out of proportion. He called the widespread reactions a “geo-planetary catastrophe” and denied any real conflict, saying the footage was exaggerated and possibly manipulated. The Élysée Palace initially denied the incident but later minimized it as a minor spousal disagreement.
Insiders said the couple had been joking before the video and warned against conspiracy theories fueled by overanalysis.
Brigitte’s past interview revealed their relationship’s early complexity. They grew close while working on a play, despite their 20-year age gap and public scrutiny. She acknowledged the pain of attacks during Emmanuel’s campaign but remained steadfast in their love, prioritizing happiness despite challenges and family concerns.
The Vietnam video is just another moment in a relationship often examined but rooted in conviction as much as controversy.
