THE GUARDIAN: Tiphaine Auzière spoke at trial of 10 people accused of harassment by posting claims that French first lady was born a man
Brigitte Macron’s daughter has told a Paris court that false claims online that the French first lady was born a man had damaged her mother’s quality of life, leaving her worrying every day about the clothes she wears and how she stands.
Tiphaine Auzière, 41, a lawyer, was called as a witness at the trial of 10 people accused of online harassment of Brigitte Macron by creating or reposting social media posts falsely claiming she was a man.
Auzière said photographs of her mother, including private summer photos, had been posted online with negative comments. “The consequence is now that she systematically has to pay attention to what she wears, how she holds herself, no matter what she’s doing in her daily life, because she knows that her image can be distorted to serve these attacks.” » | Angelique Chrisafis in Paris | Tuesday, October 28, 2025
