How very bizarre

Very, considering at the start of all this their office was saying the whole thing was faked. Then it was horsing around. Then it was a squabble.

Meanwhile, most of us have never shoved our husbands in the face like that.

EMMANUEL MACRON mocked the “shoving” incident with his wife Brigitte as he arrived in Indonesia yesterday.

The French president stuck one hand out for the cameras, performing a tongue-in-cheek wave, before appearing at the top of the stairs, laughing.

Instead of a shove, after a few seconds of suspense, Mrs Macron appeared, all smiles. The couple then locked arms, Mr Macron gave a thumbs up, and they descended the stairs side-by-side to greet officials.

The departure was deliberately staged to make light of Monday’s apparent squabble, sources said.

Jesus that sounds utterly staged and mortifying.

Wonder whose idea it was 🤔.

The whole thing is most odd!

Yep, definitely staged, (as a pp said.) They are trying to make light of it, and deflecting. They're convincing no-one.

Where is that even from? There is no link, or hint of where this text is taken from? Where did you see it @Blossomtoes and who are the 'sources?'

No point in linking, it’s from The Telegraph and behind a firewall. Obviously it was staged - it says so!

Yes I know it is. That's what I said!

You didn’t need to say it, it’s in the quote. 🙄

Read somewhere they claimed she was wiping a nose bogey off.....

PlutoCat · 29/05/2025 11:45

Well, we will never know the truth of it. I hope EM has some good friend out there who will quietly point out to him that a spouse shoving you in the face like that is not normal behaviour.

I don't care how powerful and successful he is, domestic abuse of any sort is a horrible, soul destroying experience to endure.

LilaTwirls · 29/05/2025 16:50

Its disgusting and shocking behaviour. Can you imagine if her nails had caught him and the poor man had to come out smiling with scratch marks or blood on his face. Revolting woman.

YourAmplePlumPoster · 29/05/2025 19:08

Wow. This thread is something else, including conspiracy theories which are now going through the courts in France and elsewhere. Such is the level of vitriol against Madame Macron. Leave them alone FFS.

Yupal · 29/05/2025 19:44

Barely any discussion of conspiracy theories, the shocking part of this thread is the constant downplaying of the act of Brigitte macron and excuses around it, both the attack she did and the creepy teacher/pupil totally inappropriate relationship

Absolutely. That's far worse than any conspiracy nonsense.

I know. Downplayed by so many.. I've no idea why.

If this was a woman being punched would you have the same opinion?

I also can’t believe the downplaying of this.

It wasn’t a punch.

BIossomtoes · 29/05/2025 20:04

Anyway, M Macron is joking about it so it’s beyond me why anyone else should be so concerned.
