Brigitte Macron's daughter, her daughter, has told a Paris court that misleading allegations circulating on the internet—among them the unfounded rumor that Brigitte Macron was born a man—have severely damaged her mother's personal well-being.
Auzière, a legal professional, appeared as a testifier in the legal proceedings of ten people accused of internet-based abuse targeting the first lady.
Auzière stated that her mother now is always concerned about how she looks, such as her attire to how she stands, due to the apprehension that every photograph could be manipulated to fuel negative campaigns.
"The result is that she constantly has to pay attention to what she wears, how she holds herself, irrespective of she's doing in day-to-day existence," she told the court.
Eight men and two women, aged 41 to 60, are in court for online harassment. A few had a small social media following, while several more were more visible.
All is alleged to have making malicious comments about Brigitte Macron's identity. Among them, this extended to linking the age gap with Emmanuel Macron to offensive labels.
If convicted, they face a maximum of two years in jail.
She, one of three children from her mother's previous marriage, explained how the false claims have resulted in a "deterioration of her well-being" and a "decline of her quality of life".
She said, "Not a day goes by when a person does not talk this to her."
She emphasized the impact on the family, for example the younger generation being exposed to hurtful comments like "Brigitte is not truthful" or "She is your grandfather".
"She has no idea how to end it," Auzière stated. "She's not elected, she has not sought anything, and she is permanently subjected to these assaults."
The legal proceedings is the latest phase in a extended court case addressing the baseless theory that Brigitte Macron is supposedly a man.
The couple have initiated a legal action in the United States over false statements involving a media personality who amplified the allegation.
The legal filing states that the allegation is completely false and identifies that the person cited is in fact her brother.
In court, several defendants disputed the charges.
The inaccurate claim regarding Brigitte Macron's identity spread in part because their union has often been a topic of comment in digital spaces.
Brigitte Macron, aged two decades older than her husband, originally knew him when working as a educator at the institution he attended.
Their relationship grew through drama activities, and they married in the following year, subsequent to her marriage dissolution.
Auzière wrapped up her statement by expressing that the inaccurate allegations have produced a "whirlwind that never stops" for Brigitte Macron.
