Ten people went on trial in Paris Monday charged with sexist online harassment of Brigitte Macron, in the latest case linked to unsubstantiated gender claims thrown at the French first lady in France and beyond.
The trial comes after she and President Emmanuel Macron filed a defamation lawsuit in the United States at the end of July, in connection with a rumour amplified and repeated online that Brigitte Macron was assigned male at birth.
The unsupported claim has long targeted the presidential couple, alongside criticism of their 24-year age gap.
The first lady was absent as the trial opened at a Paris criminal court for 10 defendants — eight men and two women, aged 41 to 60—accused of cyber-harassment targeting Brigitte Macron.
