Brigitte Macron’s Fashion Anxiety vs. Internet Troll Army Trial

In a Parisian courtroom drama that feels like a bizarre French soap opera set in 2025, Tiphaine Auzière, 41, lawyer and daughter of First Lady Brigitte Macron, testified against 10 alleged online harassment warriors. These keyboard gladiators are accused of publishing wild tales that Brigitte Macron was "born a man," a rumor so spicy it’s apparently wreaking havoc on her daily outfit choices and posture – because nothing screams internet harassment like questioning your maternity wear. The trial highlighted how digital rumors, spearheaded via untold social media posts, can seriously damage someone’s quality of life. The setting is undeniably chic, way more haute couture courtroom than Netflix doc. No dollar amounts were disclosed, but the cost of these cyber-bootlegs to Brigitte’s peace of mind? Priceless (and probably covered in Chanel).
