French First Lady Brigitte Macron reportedly received an anonymous phone call from someone who claimed her husband, President Emmanuel Macron, was seeing a male lover.
While the claim was entirely baseless, it’s notable that someone managed to bypass Mrs. Macron’s high-level security to personally harass her.
“I know your husband is right now with a man,” the caller told the First Lady.
The story was reported in a new documentary titled In the Hell of the Presidential Campaigns on France’s popular BFM news channel.

Senator François Patriat, a member of Mr Macron’s En Marche (On The Move) party, said Mrs. Macron was “left devastated” by the call.
“Do you realize what they dare to say? We won’t be spared anything. I was sad and shocked to hear that, but we will push on,” Mrs. Macron told friends afterwards, according to Patriat.
This isn’t the only rumor the Macron’s have faced. Last September, a far-right website published claims that Brigitte is transgender. Conspiracy theorists opposed to her husband, including members of QAnon, spread the lies on social media.
Mrs. Macron — who had three children with her first husband — is now taking legal action, her lawyer confirmed.
“She has decided to initiate proceedings, it is in progress,” lawyer Jean Ennochi confirmed to the AFP news agency.

Hmm..this is a tough one. Macron has been setting off my gaydar for years now, and I’m usually always right about this, so I’m not inclined to so quickly dismiss the rumors of him having a gay lover. I guess only time will tell.

Either you’re always right or usually right.

” the claim was entirely baseless”
Top notch gossip mongering

Queerty is so damn stupid.
1. How do you know the claim was “entirely baseless”?
2. If it was entirely baseless, why the hell are you “reporting” it?

If there’s any truth to this, his lover would be Trudeau from Canada. There is no truth, however.

Well, they all speak French as well as English so why not…? Heck, Macron steaks better English than Trump.
You should see Macron in Speedos as a teenager. No wonder his teacher pined for him, becoming his wife.

Macron is a CUTIE. Yummmmmmmmmmmy!

Try to find the photo of Macron in Speedos as a teenager. Definitely JD Cadinot caliber.

Wasn’t she his teacher in high school?

Mrs. Macron was “left devastated” by the call.
That tells me she has heard it before…….

so exactly how did this story come to light, an anonymous phone call that bypassed ‘security’ vetting does this mean she then went about to tell people about something she doesn’t believe. Why?

Does he have a mistress? A French woman once told me, “We expect our President to have at least one mistress. If he doesn’t, we assume he’s Gay!”

I’m sure he was equally devastated by the rumors alleging she was born a male. I think they’d both be better off not addressing ridiculous claims.
Cloud
But she wasn’t worried about when she met her husband in school and she was his teacher? Ewwww gross woman

I hear he was the one who pursued her and she didn’t accept it until he was more or less grown up and still trying to get into a relationship with her.

Interesting that QAnon is also a blight on France. They really need to be neutralized.

He’s SO gay. Com’n now, gurl you know it’s true.

The French have always been so disgusting. They use being gay as something shameful. It’s 2022. Wake the F up.

@cuteguy There are still many many elements of the right wing in the US that do the same thing here.

Google “macron young” to see why gay Frenchies think he was (is?) JD Cadinot material. Those contemporary photos of him embracing those shirtless sweaty black teens is a scene out straight out of the Cadinot catalog.
Probably shouldn’t have used a Cadinot reference. *blush* Shhhhhhh, don’t tell my girlfriend… Heh. Hey don’t judge me, I get paid for knowing this stuff.
desertguy
Well…it must be true if the “article” written by Dan Tracer and published on Queerty! Isn’t everyone gay? Just asking for a friend…..
