Brigitte Macron has once again been the victim of an unfounded rumor. This time around, the First Lady would actually be born a man.
Jean-Michel Trogneux, this would be Brigitte Macron’s real birth name. This new false theory has been circulating on social networks for several weeks. Launched on November 7 by “Le journal de la macronie”, the hashtag #JeanMichelTrogneux has been used more than 66,000 times on Twitter.
It is the publications of a far-right journal, Facts and Documents, which are at the origin of this rumor. According to the journal, which publishes many conspiracy theories, the president’s wife is actually a man. This discovery would be the result of an extensive three-year investigation, supported by “many experts”.

Faced with the scale of this rumor, Brigitte Marcon’s entourage confirmed to several media that the First Lady would file a complaint against these sexist and transphobic attacks. Emmanuel Macron’s wife is not the only one to have been the subject of this kind of theories. When she was First Lady, Michelle Obama was also the victim of fake news.
