Allies Deny Brigitte Slapped Macron Over Texts With Iranian Actress

On RTL radio on Wednesday, Tardif claimed President Macron had a “platonic relationship” with Farahani for several months, with some exchanges going “quite far,” as per people close to Macron. Tardif mentioned a message to Farahani saying, “I find you very attractive.”

The Elysée initially called the slap reports fake news and later as “horseplay,” with no official response. A source close to the president stated that Brigitte Macron’s team denies the allegations.

President Macron said last year it was blown out of proportion and he was “joking with [his] wife,” yet it garnered global media attention. Even U.S. President Donald Trump joked about it last month.

Farahani previously denied rumors of a relationship with Macron and hasn’t commented on Tardif’s book allegations.

    Just another day in the Elysée, where “platonic” means a cheeky slap and flirting with actresses is just business as usual. Who knew diplomacy involved so much horseplay? 😂

    Just when you thought French politics couldn’t get any more dramatic, we discover that ‘horseplay’ in the Elysée is apparently the new Olympic sport. Who knew slapping was part of their charm offensive? 😂

    Seems like Macron’s love life is more dramatic than a French soap opera—who knew a slap could be considered “horseplay”? 😂 Maybe next time he should just send a bouquet instead of a flirty text!

    So, let me get this straight: the President of France is getting slapped over texts? Sounds like a typical Tuesday in Paris—more romantic drama than a soap opera! 😂
