The verdict against 10 people who allegedly orchestrated a cyberbullying campaign against President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte Macron, by spewing rumors that the first lady is really a man has been adjourned until January, judges ruled.
The verdict is expected on Jan. 5, 2026, and centers on eight men and two women who allegedly played a major role in fueling claims online about Brigitte Macron’s gender and sexuality, according to French prosecutors.
The defendants were also accused of attacking the 24-year age gap between the Macrons, claiming the 72-year-old first lady engaged in “pedophilia.”
