Tiphaine Auzière, lawyer and author of Assises, is also the daughter of Brigitte Macron, wife of the French president. She faces persistent rumors about her mother’s gender identity. Conspiracy theorists continue to claim that the president’s wife was born a man, under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux, her brother, in reality. These bizarre rumors have led to violent attacks against the first lady.
Certain personalities, like a certain columnist, have relayed these speculations in the media. An anti-vaxxer supports this theory in a video published on a conspiracy site. During her appearance on Cyril Hanouna‘s Touche pas à mon poste on C8, the lovely Tiphaine Auzière defended her famous mother, ironically stating that she was simply “born from a dad and a mom.”
Tiphaine Auzière avoids social media where this misinformation circulates. She prefers to ignore these rumors, judging them comparable to other absurd conspiracy theories. As a lawyer, she often meets people affected by fake news, noting their isolation.
Brigitte Macron and her brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, have filed a defamation lawsuit against two women who spread this rumor as early as 2021. The trial is scheduled for March 2025. Tiphaine Auzière hopes that justice will put an end to these pervasive slanders. The young lawyer firmly denounces those who spread this misinformation.
