Overview
- Eight defendants received suspended prison terms of four to eight months and one received a six‑month firm sentence, with all ordered to attend cyberharassment awareness training.
- The court cited repeated, malicious posts that falsely claimed Brigitte Macron was born male and tied the couple’s age gap to pedophilia, noting cumulative harm from the sustained attacks.
- Judges imposed additional measures such as temporary restrictions on access to the social platforms used for the posts and a joint €10,000 payment to the first lady.
- Prominent amplifiers Delphine Jegousse, known as Amandine Roy, and writer Aurélien Poirson‑Atlan, known online as Zoé Sagan, received some of the harsher penalties.
- Tiphaine Auzière testified that the harassment damaged her mother’s daily life and affected the entire family, while the Macrons continue a separate defamation suit filed in Delaware in 2025.
