Brigitte Macron faced significant backlash after a video showed her using a derogatory phrase, "stupid bitches," to describe feminist protesters who had disrupted a stand-up show.The comments, reportedly made backstage at the Folies Bergère theatre or Elysée Palace, were directed at activists from the #NousToutes collective protesting comedian Ary Abittan, whose rape accusation was dismissed.This incident intensified a national debate on sexual violence in France, prompting celebrities like Judith Godrèche and Marion Cotillard to adopt the slur in solidarity, while critics denounced the remarks as normalizing hatred against feminists.
