Brigitte Macron's daughter testifies about alleged cyberbullying of France's first lady
The daughter of France’s first lady Brigitte Macron testified Tuesday about the “deterioration” of her mother’s life after alleged cyberbullying spread claims that President Emmanuel Macron ’s wife is a man.
“She cannot ignore the horrible things said about her,” Tiphaine Auzière told the second and final day of the Paris trial.
Ten people are accused of posting alleged malicious comments online about the first lady’s gender and sexuality, and of associating the 24-year age gap with her husband with “pedophilia.” Some posts have been viewed tens of thousands of times.
Some defendants told the court the comments they posted were humor or satire and they did not understand why they were on trial. They include an elected official, a teacher and a computer scientist. They face up to two years in prison if convicted.
“I’d like to express what her life looks like since she was the target of massive cyberbullying. This has led to a deterioration in her living conditions,” Auzière, one of Brigitte Macron’s three children, told the court.

At least in France they do something about it. Look at all the crap Michelle Obama has had to deal with.
