French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte, has filed a series of lawsuits against the authors of rumors that she was giving birth to a man, Jean-Michel Trono. The rumors are gaining incredible scope on French Twitter, writes Le Figaro.

The article claims that a large-scale three-year investigation has established Brigitte’s masculine beginnings, and is backed by “many experts”. Published monthly and each issue has 12 pages filled with a number of outlandish theories about public figures, BGNES reports.

Natasha Ray, the journalist allegedly being investigated, gave a lengthy four-hour interview on YouTube on December 10. The video had reached 470,000 views before it was deleted. The #JeanMichelTrogneux later became one of the most discussed topics on French Twitter last week. In just one week, over 34,000 tweets used the hashtag.

In April next year.
