In recent years, France has faced a strange mix of political criticism and online drama, and much of it has unexpectedly turned toward President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron. Instead of discussing real political issues, the internet has become flooded with wild theories and exaggerated stories about the French First Lady.
These rumors, which have no proof behind them, continue to spread across social media and certain outspoken commentators. Although they began on the fringes of the internet, they eventually reached mainstream discussions, fueled by people who were eager for attention or controversy.
The constant gossip appears to affect Brigitte Macron, now 72 years old. Public videos sometimes show her looking tense or upset, which only encourages more speculation. While French media mostly avoids amplifying these baseless stories, some foreign personalities continue to push them, turning the situation into unnecessary online drama.
Earlier this year, an American commentator made bold public claims about Brigitte Macron, which quickly went viral. The situation escalated so much that even international politicians were dragged into the conversation. The commentator later claimed she was being threatened — another dramatic twist in an already chaotic media moment.
More recently, a Ukrainian journalist added fuel to the ongoing gossip with a completely different type of criticism. Visiting the Élysée Palace, she posted photos of dirty windows inside the presidential residence. She jokingly asked how any hostess — especially one representing a country — could welcome guests with such unwashed glass. This small observation immediately sparked thousands of comments online.
Many users responded with humor, saying that Brigitte Macron probably didn’t notice the windows at all, adding: “Men never pay attention to things like that.”
What started as a harmless remark quickly turned into another trending topic, showing once again how easily even the smallest detail can turn into a wave of online speculation.
