Caught on Camera: Viral Video of Brigitte Macron slapping President Macron before Hanoi visit
A video that surfaced online Sunday night has caused a stir, allegedly showing Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, appearing to slap him as they disembarked from a plane in Hanoi. The incident reportedly followed a private disagreement between the couple during their flight to Vietnam, where President Macron is on an official Southeast Asia tour.
The footage, recorded at Hanoi’s airport, shows the aircraft doors opening to reveal President Macron standing near the cockpit area, facing his wife with a visibly stern expression. Moments later, Brigitte’s hand appears to reach up and strike her husband across the mouth. The brief clip quickly went viral on social media, leading to widespread speculation and commentary.
The video has overshadowed the initial focus of Macron’s trip, which aims to strengthen France’s diplomatic and economic presence in the region. During his stay in Vietnam, the President is expected to sign several bilateral agreements to boost cooperation with the former French colony.
Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron’s relationship has often drawn public interest. The couple met when Macron was a student and Brigitte was a drama teacher at La Providence high school in Amiens. Despite a 25-year age difference, their relationship has endured public scrutiny and media attention since Macron rose to political prominence.

It is important to note that neither the Élysée Palace nor the French media has officially commented on the video, and the authenticity of the footage has not been independently verified. Some observers have also raised concerns about the possibility of digital manipulation, as the French President has previously been targeted by deepfakes and online conspiracy theories.
