Brigette macron hits Emmanuel

[Stressedout150]

has anyone seen this on the news?! What do we all think, it’s all a bit bizarre

I very much doubt he has a Mistress

I am fascinated at how people are seeing this so differently. I clearly see aggression from her to him. And others seem to think it is 'playful'!

Makes me wonder about witnesses to crime and how reliable they are?!

Of course you don't get the whole story from a few seconds footage but I'm pretty surprised anyone thought it was wiping something from his face, gentle, or playful ....
Their body language afterwards suggests that it absolutely wasn't any thing done in good humour

It's against the law if you have authority over the child though

Very true.
I think body language is so key. On the bbc video you can clearly see his expression looking at her before it happens and he is not smiling or relaxed as you would be if feeling playful. Then he literally reels and you can see shock on his face. Whether this is just the shock of a private moment being caught on camera who knows, but it looks more like the shock of having been pushed in the face. Then there is no smiling from either of them and they look extremely tense. Again, if they had just been caught in a playful moment they would surely be looking much more relaxed in their bodies and faces, even if embarrassed.

Age of consent laws in France need revisiting imo, if it's legal for a 39 year old in a position of authority, to be having sex with a 15 year old! The current law was probably designed with teenagers in mind, not middle aged teachers!

It's too late for this to be spun as a joke - hasn't Macron's reps already acknowledged they were having a spat? 'Spats' aren't lighthearted or playful.

What incredibly weird thing to say.

it isn't legal

No married couple I know has a row that involves physically shoving the other.

It is abusive. Whichever sex partner is doing it.

Mind you, not exactly a shocker that a predatory woman is abusive aswell. She was a 40 year old married teacher, he was a teenager. No mentally put together woman without serious issues pursues a teenager for a seirous relationship when she is that age.

On French social media the majority reaction so far seems to be laughing emojis or jokes like ‘she’s only done what everyone wants to do’ or ‘let them sort it out like men’ referring to the rumours that Brigitte is a man.

I think I’ve had enough internet for today tbh.

Well put as usual, Uricon2, and yes that image of Nigella still haunts me

As for Macron, I'm afraid I can't see him without thinking of him dressed in little shorts, with a little cap on his head and being led around by her on a lead

Eh? It was on the BBC hours ago, before your post. 🙄

What the fuck?

It was on the BBC hours ago.

That (rather small shove) doesn't look like anything definitely anything to me. He simply doesn't look shocked or unhappy afterwards, so I can't pass judgement or feel like I can know what it meant.

She walloped him right in front of the staff. If you're running a country but getting abused at home, who's to say you won't end up running the place to keep your spouse happy?

Yeah, a very poorly judged cover-up attempt. It was a moment of such closeness that Brigitte blatantly refused to take his proffered arm on the steps - again in full view. Looks like she was determined to show her displeasure with him.

No idea why, of course. But it wasn't "tenderness" and their PR needs to perform a rapid backtrack.

Yes, the two of them have always made me very uncomfortable. They proper give me the ick. She is old enough to be his mother, and was his TEACHER! She met him when he was 15 and she was 40. The relationship started when he was still in his mid teens, and she was in her 40s! How can anyone seriously think this is OK?

I reckon there has been a power imbalance from the beginning. When I was in my 40's the very thought of being with a teenage boy would have turned my stomach.

'Banter,' or 'just a slight shove,' or 'a full on face whack,' whatever this was, I can see them divorced in the next 1-2 years.

It doesn't look good.

Imo that wasn’t in jest. The startled look on his face when you see her hand grab his face tells me she wasn’t wiping something off, because if she was he wouldn’t have reacted in the shocked way he did.

He needs to trade her in asap! Creepy as anything of she was 40 and his teacher when he was 15 🤮 Disgusting. It a bit like that family I won’t name with 20 odd kids. In any other situation he would have ended up in jail but it’s all glossed over as it was a few years ago. Vile!

Ah, right. Thanks.

That was DH's comment on seeing it!

This is awful to watch. It's aggression and it's aimed at his face! He then gestures as if he's telling her that the world can see.

For BBC bashers, any time that a story which is currently breaking on social media and they want to talk about isn't the first on the BBC news site within 10 minutes, with all programming interrupted to bring you a news flash, is absolute, cast-iron proof that the BBC is run by libtard luvvies in the service of the globalist elite WEF cabal etc etc etc (or, for far-left BBC bashers, Tory stooges).

Of course, if the BBC did put this story first and interrupt all programming, the same people would say "Huh, what a non-story, I wonder what the libtard luvvies who serve the globalist elite WEF cabal are trying to distract us from now?????"

To me it looks more like a jokey push to stop winding me up, no real force in it. He looks shocked as he quickly realises the door is open and he is probably on camera and then pissed off because he now knows it will be all over the media, and she is pissed off he is now pissed off.

Of course there could be much more to it than that, but we will never know.

Do I think the French president is abused by his wife? Not based on that one clip alone, no.
