Brigitte Macron’s youngest daughter, Tiphaine Auzière, is addressing the persistent rumours that have surrounded her family for years, including one particularly strange rumour that her mother was born a man.

“I don’t feel any pain, just anger at the misinformation. I worry about the level of society when I hear what is circulating on social networks about my mother being a man,” she told Paris Match in an interview published in late February. “The aplomb of what is said and the credibility given to what is proclaimed. Anyone can say anything about anyone, and it takes time to get it withdrawn.” Ms Macron reportedly sued two women for sharing the rumours, according to the UK’s Telegraph newspaper.

Auzière is referring to a series of 2022 social media posts that claimed her mother was a trans woman who was born with the name Jean-Michel.

Auzière’s 70-year-old mother has been the subject of many controversies over the years, mainly stemming from the fact that she left her husband for a then-teenage Emmanuel Macron, who would go on to become the president of France. Per The Telegraph, Auzière’s father-in-law Emmanuel is only six years older than her – and at 46, he’s younger than two of her siblings.
