Overview
- Appearing on TF1 during the Pièces Jaunes launch, Brigitte Macron said she is “not a measured woman” and described herself as someone who flares up easily.
- She apologized for causing hurt and acknowledged her words were not appropriate, after previously telling Brut she did not regret them.
- The episode stems from her calling #NousToutes activists “sales connes” after they disrupted Ary Abittan’s December 6 show.
- Abittan has been accused of rape but received a non-lieu, a context that fueled reactions across feminist groups, the left, and the culture sector.
- A Tribunal correctionnel de Paris decision is expected on a case against ten defendants accused of spreading online insults and transphobic rumors about her.
