Found out why Brigitte slapped President Macro last year

The unknown background following Brigitte Macron's slap on the French president, in May 2025, which triggered a global debate, is revealed by political editor of the magazine Paris Matchić, Florian Tardiff, in his book entitled “A couple (almost) perfect”, which he spoke to more than 70 sources, including the First Lady of France.
In images captured by cameras following Emmanuel Macron's arrival and his wife at Hanoi Airport, Vietnam, as part of a tour of Asia, when the plane door was opened, two hands belonging to Brigitte Macron sat on the face of the French president, as he realized that the cameras of “kapa” were trying to greet them in a clumsy manner.
According to what Tardiff wrote in the book and said in a radio interview, the incident was caused by text messages on Emmanuel Macron's mobile phone, which Brigitte Macron saw.
According to French journalist, the “that happened was that Brigitte Macron saw a message from a famous person, Iranian actress Golfitech Farahani”.
I write my name because there were rumors spreading in Paris. What I'm writing is not a rumor. I made it clear in Elise that it's not their version. ”
You're very pretty”
Tardiff also said the French president had a Platonic love relationship with the actress for several months. I had been told that over and over again. The messages they showed me were very advanced, very beautiful “style”, etc.”
These messages led to tensions that ended with the private quarrel becoming public, as at one point the impression was given that everything was due to a misunderstanding a particularly serious misunderstanding that had ended. Except that's not what happened”, states Paris columnist Match.
In his interview, French journalist said the French Presidential Palace “repented” of communications tactics that followed the episode:
“Today they regretted their reaction because they could have given the image that Brigite and Emmanuel Macro were a pair “abnormal “” and not a perfect couple. After all, this was the confession we were given from the beginning of the mandate of Macron”.
It is remembered that when the video was released, the first reaction from the Élysée Palace was that images were not authentic, while later a close associate of the French president spoke of a common dispute with couples.
Later, Macron's associates continued with a new version, commenting that it was a moment “when the president and his wife were relaxing for the last time before the start of the trip, playing”
The same source then spoke for a moment of society and attributed negative comments mainly to friendly circles with Russia. /Le Figaro
