Brigitte Macron Reaches Highest Appeals Court In France In 'Man' Claims Case

Brigitte Macron is acting on the acquittal of two women sued by her in a libel complaint. The French first lady hit back by taking her gender libel case to the highest appeals court in France. The move comes after a lower court in Paris overturned the earlier convictions of both women. A YouTube blogger and a self-described clairvoyant claimed Brigitte was 'born a man'. Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey did a four-hour YouTube broadcast on this in December 2021. They alleged she used to be a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux – who is actually Brigitte's brother. WATCH-
