During a state visit to Vietnam, a viral moment occurred between French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte. A lip reader reported that Brigitte aggressively shoved Macron's face, calling him a "loser" after the aircraft door opened. Emmanuel attempted to maintain composure by engaging with staff and the media but faced more tensions down the tarmac where their interaction grew icy. Brigitte ignored his gestures, and both exchanged pointed words that indicated underlying relationship issues, drawing public and media attention for their apparent discord.
As the aircraft door opens, President Macron is seen turning toward Brigitte. In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in the face.
He offers his arm; she ignores it, clinging to the railing instead. As she passes, she appears to mutter... 'Stay away, you loser.'
His closing expression, and the phrase lipread as 'Je vois,' translated in English [to] 'I see,' says it all.
A rare unguarded exchange that hints at deeper tensions between the couple. One to watch.
