Mistress! 😂 Highly unlikely!

I can remember a very long time ago in Scotland when I was a young teenager going to school in the bus one day and an older couple on the bus started arguing and one of them said to the other - ‘eh’ll push yer puss back for yeh’ and they then proceeded to make that exact move Mrs Macron made yesterday. I recognised that move for what it was as soon as I saw it today. She was pushing his puss back for him.

Very disturbing but the whole relationship is a red flag that has been sanitised and glossed over.

She uses both hands which makes it worse, and you can tell by his reaction it's not 'bantz'. Horrible to watch.

I've re-watched and slowed it down as was going to correct you and say she only used one hand - but you're quite right, she goes for his mouth with both hands and shoves.

I've seen the clip but can barely make it out how are people getting such detail?

Yes, there’s quite a disparity between the posts on here and the actual clip. I particularly like the claims that she was furious when you cannot see her face or even her body, merely her arm.

Nothing justifies this and I find it distasteful that people are suggesting there is a good reason for her hitting him in the face.

I find the whole relationship distasteful though.

I agree. There has always been something really off about this whole thing. I'm wondering if he actually very weak and she is controlling but I doubt it.

A twenty five year difference is bloody big in this direction.

It looks to me like a mum desperately trying to rub marmite off their son's face before he runs off into school rather than a slap.

Yes, the timing of it looks like she was trying to correct something before he went into camera view, and he stepped back quickly because he was like….cameras are already on us.

I mean he was a teenager and she was his teacher in her 40s. There is no way this relationship isn’t unhealthy.

This. I didn't expect her to be particularly nice after noncing one of her students.

zenas · 26/05/2025 13:43

Sorry to body shame, but does anyone else think Mme Macron's legs are like matchsticks when she is descending the plane steps? I can't stop looking at them.

asnever · 26/05/2025 13:43

Maybe he had lippie on his face 👄

Ah no, apparently his office has admitted she hit him during a row!

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 26/05/2025 13:44

There's a a lot of abuse apologisers and gaslighting on this thread

knittasgonna · 26/05/2025 13:45

Yeah, no way is that her trying to rub something off his face. 🙄 She was clearly angry and giving vent to her feelings with with a physical attack. It doesn't have to leave bruises to be abusive.

Thelostjewels · 26/05/2025 13:45

Looking at the posted clip I can't see him holding her arms at all

User37482 · 26/05/2025 13:45

Thats really out of order, unless theres something missing like he’s the one who’s violent and she was lashing out (like domestic abuse and then you finally snap and you are the one who’s looks crazy).

BUT going off that she should be ashamed of herself, I’ve never hit my DH and he’s never hit me. It’s not ok.

You can see him holding them in the screenshot someone posted at 13:35. Like he’s reached up to grab them I think.

Muffinmam · 26/05/2025 13:48

Yes! I saw this.

It was a full on hit. He was in his own space, he stepped away from her and she reached up and smacked him to his face.

This is domestic violence.

He knew it had been recorded and he walked away from her.

It’s time he got away from this predator.

I thought that too.

If he ever did want to get away from her, now is the time to do it. I've always felt she gives off a weird vibe.

Toootss · 26/05/2025 13:51

I’m sure no other couples in the public eye have ever had a row - reaaaaaly shocking -not

NeverDropYourMooncup · 26/05/2025 13:51

That's the move my mother would make when she was frustrated she couldn't get a full punch into the side of my head, a few kicks and a shove onto the floor in because somebody might see her. Straight for the face. And then the knowledge there would be more coming at some undisclosed moment in the future if I dared to let my guard down or went to sleep.

By his reaction, I think it's quite common a thing and he has never reacted physically, only ever stepped back (or taken the punches), as he doesn't tense up, doesn't square up even for a moment.

Now she's been caught out, if he doesn't instantly separate himself/never go back, there is going to be Hell for him to pay for 'showing her up'.

@Hedwigowl i hope that if you have a son, he never accidentally gets marmite on his face, because the poor kid will get whacked

Bananafofana · 26/05/2025 13:53

As per some of the other posters here I come from a family blighted by DV and the clip was horrible to watch.
