French President Macron was allegedly beaten by his wife over an affair with a female actor!

Last year, the French First Lady's slap on President Emmanuel Macron at an airport stunned the world. Recently, the incident has taken an unexpected dramatic turn. Investigative journalists have revealed that behind this family dispute may lie Ghazal Fakhani, a captivating Iranian-French actress. The actress previously starred in Ridley Scott’s commercial blockbuster film titled "Leonardo DiCaprio."

In May 2025, media outlets were awaiting the arrival of Emmanuel Macron and his wife. Brigitte Macron appeared on the tarmac in Hanoi (Vietnam). As the presidential aircraft door opened, cameras captured a controversial gesture by the First Lady: she pushed Emmanuel Macron’s face with her hand—apparently slapping or striking him.

It is reported that Brigitte Macron erupted into anger after reading a flattery message sent by Ghazal Fakhani on the president’s phone. It was precisely the content of these compliments from the actress that enraged France’s First Lady. In her eyes, the private messages exchanged between the current president and the renowned actress—using phrases like “I really like you”—clearly exceeded mere polite formalities. Even without any physical relationship, such expressions were inevitably categorized as “ambiguous” in the First Lady’s view.

Fakhani, of Iranian descent, has long been a controversial figure. She once posed for a full-nude photo shoot for France’s Madame Figaro magazine. The Iranian authorities declared, “Iran does not need actresses like this,” and banned her from returning to Iran. This sparked deep divisions within Iranian society: liberals expressed support, while conservatives condemned her. Since then, she has lived in exile abroad, primarily in France, later moving through Ibiza and Portugal. She has appeared in works directed by Jim Jarmusch, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Julie Ducournau. Ghazal Fakhani continues to oppose Iran’s mandatory hijab laws and government policies, which is why she is regarded as a traitor by many in Iran.
