In Paris, Natasha Ray and Delphine Jegus (known on the Internet as the clairvoyant Amandine Roy) were sentenced to a fine of 13,500 euros for defamation. The women claim that the wife of the 46-year-old French President Emmanuel Macron, the 71-year-old Brigitte Macron, was born a man, the "Guardian" reported, quoted by dariknews.bg.
In 2021, Natasha and Delphine posted a four-hour video on YouTube in which they claimed that Brigitte Macron was born a man named Jean-Michel Tronier (the name of the French first lady's brother) and became trans in the 1980s century. According to their version, Brigitte's first husband, André-Louis Ozier, did not exist at all, and her children were actually born in the marriage of Jean-Michel to a certain Catherine Ozier (in reality, Catherine was married to Jean-Louis Ozier - Andre's uncle -Louie). The video garnered over 450,000 views, but was later deleted.
In early 2022, Brigitte Macron, her brother and her three children from her first marriage filed a claim. They accuse Natasha and Delphine of invasion of privacy, but in 2023 the court dismisses the claim because the charges were brought under the wrong article. The Tronier family then accuses Ray and Jegus of defamation. According to the court decision, the supporters of the popular conspiracy theory are now obliged to pay eight thousand euros in favor of Brigitte and another five thousand euros to her brother Jean-Michel for causing moral damages. A conditional fine of 500 euros was also imposed on the offenders.
Rumors that Brigitte Macron is transgender appeared as early as 2017 after Emmanuel Macron was elected president of France. In December 2021, Natasha Ray, who defines herself as an independent journalist, published an article in which she described her investigation into the French first lady: the woman had been conducting it for several years. Ray assures that he has sufficient evidence that Brigitte was born in a male body*. Soon this theory spread widely on the Internet.
Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly come out to refute these rumours. In March of this year, he publicly criticized the media for spreading slander about his wife.
