Summary

A viral video showing French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte aboard a plane has set social media ablaze. The clip appears to show Brigitte shoving Macron in the face. Some are calling it a moment of domestic violence, while the President insists it was all just playful banter. So, what really happened? Is this being blown out of proportion? Or is it a moment that warrants a deeper conversation about boundaries, gender dynamics, and how quickly the media and the public are to judge based on a single clip?
