Candace Owens Spotlights French Journalist’s Claims About Brigitte Macron
US journalist Candace Owens has recently sparked conversation by claiming that Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, is transgender. Owens shared an investigative report on her podcast, ‘Becoming Brigitte’, asserting she would stake her professional reputation on this claim.
Brigitte Macron, born in 1953 as Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux, was previously a literature teacher and has been married to Emmanuel Macron since 2007. Their age difference is notable, with Brigitte being 24 years older than her husband. They met when he was 15 and she was his teacher at Lycée la Providence in Amiens.
In the latest episode of ‘Becoming Brigitte’, Owens interviewed French journalist Xavier Poussard. He claims to have obtained a photo that supposedly proves Brigitte Macron used to be a man, identifying her as Jean-Michel Trogneux, her brother who transitioned at 30.
Poussard alleges that French media has manipulated the public for years to hide this truth. He provided details of facial similarities and distinct signs shared by both Macron and her alleged former identity, Jean-Michel Trogneux.
These claims are not new, dating back to 2020 when Emmanuel Macron was running for his second term. Both President Macron and his wife have consistently denied these allegations, attempting legal action against journalists who push this narrative, citing defamation and invasion of privacy.
The conversation around Brigitte Macron’s identity has reignited, with Owens’ podcast episode gaining significant attention. However, it remains a topic of debate and speculation, with no definitive proof provided thus far.
