Journalist Defeats President’s Wife
The article discussed the case of French journalist Natasha Ray, who ultimately won a legal suit against Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron. Ray had posted a video in 2021 claiming that Brigitte Macron was born male under the name Jean-Michel, a claim that sparked widespread controversy. The Paris High Court had acquitted Ray of defamation charges in July 2025, after the Court of Appeal confirmed that most of her comments did not fall under the legal classification of defamation, thus ending the legal dispute that began in 2021. The article clarifies that the case centers on freedom of expression and the judiciary's stance toward unsubstantiated claims, where the court upheld the journalist’s right to express her opinion, concluding that the claims did not exceed the boundaries of free speech within the context of investigations and critiques.
