Since he became president in 2017, the first lady, 72, and the first lady, 48, have been attracting a lot of attention.

For Brigitte Macron, there were rumors on social media that she was born Jean-Michel Trogneux, her brother’s surname.

Eight people received four to eight-month prison sentences on Monday. After the ninth man’s absence from the hearing, the ninth man received a six-month prison sentence, and the final recipient was given a directive to follow an online program against hate speech.

Prosecutors sought the heaviest sentence possible against Aurelien Poirson-Atlan, 41, who is also known on social media as Zoe Sagan, in advance of the sentencing.

Bertrand Scholler, 56, a gallery owner, claimed that the trial was aimed at his “freedom to think” when confronted by the “media deep state.”

The Macrons have filed court cases challenging the comments, which they largely ignored.

Tiphaine Auziere, her daughter, gave testimony about what Tiphaine Auziere described as the “deterioration” of her mother’s situation as a result of the growing online harassment. According to Auziere, “She cannot ignore the horrible things that have been said about her.” She claimed that Macron’s grandchildren included everyone in the family.

Brigitte stated to TF1 on Sunday night that she hoped others would benefit from her efforts to combat cyberbullying.

Birth certificates are not objects, they are. A father or mother must go to the child’s declaration, which state she said.

She continued, “I want to help adolescents fight against harassment, but it will be difficult if I don’t set an example.”

Candace Owens, a prominent right-wing influencer who also claimed Brigitte was born a man, is also facing defamation charges in the United States.
