New allegations from journalist Florian Tardif's book, "An (Almost) Perfect Couple," suggest that French President Emmanuel Macron's wife, Brigitte, slapped him in Hanoi last May after discovering messages from Iranian-born actor Golshifteh Farahani on his phone. Tardif claims Macron sent Farahani a message stating, "I find you very pretty," and that Brigitte's reaction stemmed from the hint of impropriety rather than tangible evidence. This resurfaces speculation surrounding a widely shared video of Brigitte appearing to shove Macron. Representatives for Brigitte Macron have strongly denied these claims, with her team stating she never checks her husband's phone. Farahani has also dismissed rumors of a romantic involvement, attributing such speculation to a "lack of love."
