"French First Lady's Daily Life Disrupted by False Online Claims"
Tiphaine Auzière, daughter of Brigitte Macron, told a Paris court on Tuesday that false claims online that her mother was born a man have damaged her quality of life. The lawyer, 41, revealed that photographs of Brigitte Macron, including private summer photos, had been posted online with negative comments, forcing her to be constantly "on alert" about the clothes she wears and how she stands.
The allegations, which include comparing Brigitte Macron's age difference with her husband Emmanuel Macron to 'paedophilia', have left Brigitte feeling anxious every day. Tiphaine described the experience as a "whirlwind that never stops", saying her mother has to constantly be mindful of her image being distorted online.
The false claims were sparked in part by the Macrons' high-profile relationship, with many people commenting online about their 24-year age gap. However, Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron have consistently denied the allegations, stating they formed a deeper intellectual connection through school plays.
Brigitte Macron's daughter revealed that her mother is now at risk of being subjected to attacks every day, with her grandchildren even hearing hurtful comments like 'Your grandmother is lying' or 'Your grandmother is your grandfather'. Tiphaine said it was impossible for her mother to have a normal life without this issue being brought up.
Eight men and two women are currently on trial in Paris for online harassment of Brigitte Macron, with some accused of making malicious comments about her gender and sexuality. If convicted, they face up to two years in prison.
In related news, the Macrons have filed a US lawsuit against conservative podcaster Candace Owens, who amplified and repeated the false claim that Brigitte Macron is a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux. The lawsuit states that Trogneux, 80, is actually Brigitte's older brother.
The court hearing comes as part of a broader legal battle on both sides of the Atlantic against the false claims.

I mean, who thought it was a good idea to spread those false claims about Brigitte Macron? It's just ridiculous that people can't even be bothered to fact-check before sharing something that could ruin someone's life. And now they're taking it to the courts, like what's next? 
Tiphaine's story is a real eye-opener - being constantly "on alert" because of her mom's appearance is ridiculous. And let's be real, it's not like Brigitte Macron didn't have a life before all this drama started. The age gap thing was always gonna come up in public, but I think we're missing the bigger picture here... social media's created this culture where people feel entitled to air their opinions without considering the consequences.
. I mean, can't we all just have a chill conversation without turning into internet trolls? 
The fact that people are actually believing these false claims and spreading them around like wildfire is just so frustrating 
. Anyway, I'm just glad the court hearing is happening to bring some justice to Brigitte Macron's situation 
.
Tiphaine Auzière's mom's "whirlwind" must be way more dramatic than the Kardashians' family drama 
Brigitte Macron, you're a strong woman, girl! 
Don't let them get to you 
. I swear, my stomach was doing flips thinking about trying all those flavors 
.
