‘Just joking’: Macron denies dispute with wife after viral plane video.
Speaking to reporters after the clip went viral, Macron clarified that the exchange with his wife was being misunderstood and blamed disinformation efforts for distorting what he called a light-hearted moment.
French President Emmanuel Macron firmly rejected speculation about a domestic dispute with his wife, Brigitte Macron, after a viral video appeared to show her shoving his face aside as the couple arrived in Vietnam.
The clip, which took social media by storm on Monday, captures a moment right after the couple landed in Hanoi, Vietnam. Shortly after the plane doors open, Brigitte (72), who is mostly out of frame with only her hands visible, smacks the President in the face. Macron (47) looks momentarily startled before regaining composure and waving to the cameras.
