Two women found guilty over false claims towards France’s first lady - Two women have been found guilty of slander after false claims that France’s First Lady, Brigitte Macron, was transgender. In December 2021, Natacha Rey and Amandine Roy broadcast unsupported rumours online that Brigitte had never existed, and that her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux had changed gender and started using that name. The defendants were ordered to pay €8,000 (£6,750; $8,859) in damages to Mrs Macron, and €5,000 to her brother. Mrs Macron had filed a complaint against the women after their claim went viral, sparking conspiracy theories among the far-right.
