‘Real reason’ Emmanuel Macron’s wife Brigitte ‘slapped’ him after lip reader reveals harsh comment she made straight after
**A viral video showing French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte, appearing to slap him during their arrival in Vietnam has sparked global debate. Footage from 25 May captures Brigitte’s hand suddenly moving toward Macron’s face as they exited their plane. A lip reader later claimed she muttered, “Stay away, you loser,” while Macron allegedly pleaded, “Let’s try, please?” The tense exchange fueled speculation about marital discord, though Macron dismissed it as playful banter.**
**Macron denied any conflict, calling the incident a lighthearted moment blown out of proportion. His office echoed that explanation, attributing the gesture to pre-trip “horsing around.” The controversy follows past misinformation about Macron, including false claims of drug use with other leaders. Despite official statements, the clip continues to circulate, highlighting how quickly private moments can become international scandals.**
