Whoopi Goldberg shuts down 'The View' debate about French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife after slap video goes viral: "It's uncomfortable"
Briefly

Whoopi Goldberg defended French President Emmanuel Macron after a viral video showed his wife, Brigitte, seemingly shoving him. Addressing her co-hosts on 'The View,' Goldberg objected to the speculation around their relationship, referencing her own experience with intrusive judgments. While co-hosts noted their age difference and previous teacher-student dynamic, Goldberg emphasized the media's role in sensationalizing the incident, supporting Macron's claim that they were simply joking around. She sought to address the scrutiny by demonstrating the interaction, highlighting how outsiders often misunderstand personal relationships.
I find it intrusive because no one ever asks, 'Well, what happened?' and when you say it was a joke, people don’t take you at your word.
The incident has been blown out of proportion by media; Brigitte and I were just joking around, as we often do.
