Is Brigitte smiling and Macron embarrassed? What happened between the spouses that they became the main participants of a high-profile scandal? Recall that when they flew to Vietnam, Brigitte slapped her husband. Naturally, it was seen and captured by all journalists, because the couple was at the exit from the aircraft. Macron tried to smooth the situation and made it clear that this is the norm in their couple, which further aggravated the situation.

Are you aware of this French drama?
After this event, everyone began to actively discuss the marriage union of Brigitte and Macron. And no, it’s not about politics at all. When they appeared at an official event, everyone watched the couple’s behaviour with special interest.
What had to happen for the wife to hit her husband right on the way out of the presidential plane? The president tried to pretend that it wasn’t a slap and quickly put his hand up to his wife. However, he got a complete ignore, causing journalists to further spread the gossip.
Some lip-read that Brigitte said: ‘Stay away from me, loser.’ After a few minutes, Macron replied to her, ‘Let’s give it a try. Please.’ Brigitte said no. We can only guess what happened between them on board, since the first lady could not contain her emotions.
This footage went viral all over the Internet. Commentators have started to argue:

what made Brigitte angry?
what was behind the scenes?
why Macron clenched his hand into a fist?
Everyone noticed that for a long time Brigitte had no contact with her husband and even avoided eye contact. She deliberately showed a displeased face, even though she realised that all these photos would spread all over the net. She did not have that trademark smile and ease that everyone was used to.
During the conference, Macron tried to make a joke:

‘We fool around a lot. It happens.’
But people the whole thing is not fooling around. The users of the network reacted quite sharply to the situation:
- This is not a joke, her look speaks volumes!
- It’s like she’s a former teacher who teaches the right behaviour!
- I think Macron is on to something. Really?
- They shouldn’t be actors!
Psychologists believe there’s a lot of emotional tension between the couple. This suggests that the slap was not the result of a momentary quarrel, but of something bigger. It’s as if the French are fuelling interest on purpose, because they love such immediate stories.

What do you think is the reason for this behaviour? The intrigue is growing, but there are no versions yet. What is clear is that even presidential couples do not live an ideal life.
