Brigitte Macron, President Emmanuel Macron's wife and First Lady of France, has returned to the public eye after a widely shared video purportedly showed her slapping or pushing the president on an aircraft in Vietnam. Later, Emmanuel Macron alerted reporters that such videos are frequently misrepresented by what he called “crackpots.” He clarified the incident was “nothing”, but just “bickering, or rather joking” with his wife.
