Brigitte Macron, wife of Emmanuel Macron filmed using sexist slur at Paris theatre [View all]
Brigitte Macron is facing a legal complaint from several organisations, including women’s rights groups, after she was filmed saying feminist protesters at a theatre show in Paris were “stupid bitches”.
More than 300 women – specifically 343, a historically symbolic number in French feminism – this week filed the complaint against the French first lady for public insult.
A video filmed last week showed Macron in discussion backstage at the Folies Bergère theatre in Paris with Ary Abittan, a French actor and comedian who was previously accused of rape.
She was attending his show with her daughter and some friends. The previous night, feminist campaigners had disrupted the show, shouting: “Abittan, rapist!”
