Brigitte Macron faces backlash for using slur against feminist protesters

Brigitte Macron was facing criticism on Tuesday after video emerged of her using a slur to denounce feminist protesters. The scene filmed Sunday showed France’s first lady in discussion backstage at the Folies Bergère theatre in Paris with Ary Abittan, a French actor and humorist previously accused of rape, before a performance he was about to give. Before Sunday's performance, Brigitte Macron asked him how he was feeling.
