A new rumor is shaking the French presidential couple.
The slap that Brigitte Macron gave Emmanuel Macron last year is said to be related to an alleged message found on the president’s phone.
Media outlets and journalists in France claim that Emmanuel allegedly maintained for months a supposed “platonic relationship” with the Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, exchanging messages that “allegedly went quite far”.
The version quickly exploded on social media after some users linked the scandal to the viral moment when Brigitte appeared slapping the president inside a presidential plane, a scene that went around the world.
Although the actress reportedly denied the rumors, the issue continues to generate enormous debate in France, where many wonder how true the story behind the alleged private messages might be.
