“A Paris court found Monday 10 people guilty of cyberbullying France’s first lady Brigitte Macron by spreading false online claims about her gender and sexuality, including allegations she was born a man. The court handed out sentences to all the defendants ranging from a cyberbullying awareness training to 8-month suspended prison sentences. The court pointed to ‘particularly degrading, insulting, and malicious’ comments referring to false claims regarding alleged trans identity and alleged pedo criminality targeting Brigitte Macron. … The case follows years of conspiracy theories falsely alleging that Brigitte Macron was born under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux, which is actually the name of her brother. The Macrons have also filed a defamation suit in the United States against conservative influencer Candace Owens.” (01/05/26)
