**Nonstop Cyberbullying Over False Gender Claims Has Left French First Lady Brigitte Macron Struggling with Anxiety**
*Published Oct. 29, 2025, 1:05 p.m. ET*
The relentless cyberbullying alleging that French First Lady Brigitte Macron was born male has taken a severe toll on her mental health, RadarOnline.com can report. Family members, including her daughter, reveal that these baseless claims have caused the first lady to develop a crippling case of anxiety.
### Family Members Speak Out
Tiphaine Auzière, Macron’s daughter, recently appeared in court to testify against eight men and two women, aged between 41 and 60, who face charges of sexist cyber-harassment. These individuals are accused of spreading multiple fake and damaging comments regarding Brigitte Macron’s gender and sexuality.
Auzière described the severe mental anguish the rumors have inflicted on her mother. “There isn’t a single week when she isn’t harassed. Not one person in her personal or professional life fails to bring up these allegations,” the 41-year-old said.
As the youngest of Macron’s three children, Auzière shared that her mother has become overly sensitive about her appearance, constantly worried that images of her could be “distorted and weaponized” online.
### Impact on the Entire Family
Auzière went further to say that her mother is “constantly under attack,” and even the grandchildren are now aware of the cruel rumors circulating about their grandmother. “Her grandchildren hear what is being said,” she told the court, highlighting that no one seems to know how to “make it stop.”
“It was important to be here today to express the prejudice. I wanted to report what her life has been like since she suffered this hatred,” Auzière added. “She cannot ignore the horrors being said.”
### Recent Incident: Tax Records Altered by Hackers
Just this week, pranksters infiltrated Macron’s personal tax records and electronically changed her gender from female to male. Her legal name was also altered to “Jean-Michel, known as Brigitte Macron.”
### Origins of the Conspiracy Theories
The rumors initially surfaced following a YouTube video in which two women alleged that Brigitte Macron was born a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux and transitioned before marrying President Emmanuel Macron.
However, the reality is quite different. Trogneux is actually Brigitte Macron’s brother, who Auzière testified was “in great shape” when she last saw him a few months ago.
### Legal Battle Against Conservative Podcast Host Candace Owens
The ongoing harassment coincides with another legal dispute involving Candace Owens, a conservative podcast host who promoted these baseless claims. Owens now faces a defamation lawsuit from the French first family.
Owens recently told her large audience that she is demanding “proof” that Macron was born a woman. On her show, she stated: “We’re going to demand Brigitte sit down for an exam with an independent doctor. We’re coming for her medical records.”
### The Macron Family’s Response
In response, the Macrons prepared to submit “photographic and scientific” evidence disproving Owens’ allegations. Their lawyer, Tom Clare, emphasized that his clients are ready to demonstrate “generically and specifically” that the claims are false.
He also promised expert testimony that will be scientific in nature but did not provide further specifics.
Speaking to reporters, Clare expressed his frustration: “It is incredibly upsetting to think that you have to go and subject yourself to put this type of proof forward.”
