In July 2025, the news spread about the mysterious death of a doctor who allegedly knew about the operations of the first lady of France and planned to give an interview on this topic. We checked the reliability of such publications.
On July 2, the media and Telegram channels reported that the doctor Francois Februgg, a surgeon, who is probably associated with the change of sex of the wife of the president of France, Brigitte Macron, was found in Paris. It is alleged that, according to the conclusions of the forensic experts, the medic has committed suicide, but this version was considered an incredible sister February. According to her, the death of the surgeon is connected with his plans to give an interview about the operations that Brigitte Macron made as part of a transgender transition.
The mysterious death of February was reported "RIA Novosti","Russian newspaper","Arguments and facts","Moscow Komsomolets","Tsargrad","Komsomolskaya Truth" Lada.kzas well as Telegram channels "Ax+"(1.7 million views at the time of writing this analysis),"Zlaya Prof"(213 000),"Uncle Glory"(191 000),"Russia now • News"(156 000),"Tanya Ryzhova"(122 000),"Sheikh Tamir"(112 000),"Dmitry Vasilet"(110 000),"Drilling rat"(98 000),"Skabeeva"(95,000) and others.
The conspiracy theory that the first lady of France Brigitte Macron in the past was a man has existed for several years. For the first time she appeared In French, the extreme right magazine Faits & Documents in 2021, a year before the elections in which Emmanuel Macron was elected president for the second time. Then this theory I put forward Blogger Natasha Ray: She claimed that the real name of the first lady is Jean-Michel Trony. So the name of the brother Brigitte Macron, who, according to Ray, actually does not exist. The blogger also insisted that before the transgender transition, the wife of the president of France was married to a woman named Katrin Ozer. Since Faits & Documents was published only in the printed version and distributed by subscription, the theory did not immediately gain popularity - this happened after later in the same year, Ray outlined it in a four -hour interview with an psychic (now the video is deleted). Since then, about the transgender crossing allegedly committed by Brigitte Macron, regularly They tell Conservative activists and ultra -right bloggers from different countries.
The belief of the adherents of this theory in her truthfulness is based primarily on suspicions, rumors and subjective perception of the Macron couple. On the one hand, such people are embarrassed by the big difference between the spouses - the first lady is 24 years older than the president. On the other, Macron has been accompanied by the political career of Macron Rumors About his homosexuality. At the same time, conspiracy theologists either ignore or turn the biography of Brigitte Macron, for which the politician has already become a second husband. Previously, she is more than 30 years old was married With the banker of Andrey Louis (and not at all with a woman, Katrin Ozer, according to Ray), three children were born in the family.
Among the evidence that Brigitte Macron was born a man and was named by Jean-Michel, conspiracyologists use a family photo of the first lady in childhood. It is claimed that Breezhita is not a girl sitting in the arms of her mother, but a boy in the left side of the frame.
In fact, this boy - Brother French first lady who and The name is Jean-Michel. Although he leads a non -public life, its existence confirmed, for example, by entries in the voter lists of 2022, as well as comments Witnesses who saw this man surrounded by the president. False statements about Jean-Michel personally refuted and Brigitte Macron, and her husband. In 2024, the Parisian court Recognized Natasha Ray, who launched a conspiracy theory, and Amandin Rua, who contributed to its spread, guilty of slander. Brigitte Macron and her brother was awarded compensations in the amount of € 8000 and € 5000, respectively (which once again proves the existence of Jean-Michel). Nevertheless, the allegations that the first lady of France - Transperson continues to spread in materials in different languages.
As for the news of the death of the surgeon Francois February, many publications in their notes refer to some French news agency Enqueth du Jour. On his site there is published on July 1 article About the dead physician under the heading "A surgeon associated with rumors on the transgenderness of Brigitte Macron, found dead in Paris." It specifies that the 58-year-old February fell out of the window on June 29. The note also contains a video that sets out its contents and published by Telegram channels that told about the death of February. A one and a half -minute video begins with a report from the proposed scene of the incident, which comments on the sunbeam. Then a portrait of February is demonstrated, an interview with his sister Anna Dupon (at the same time, her voice is not heard), shots with the participation of Brigitte Macron and, finally, a fragment of the interview, which Fevre allegedly gave to the publication of Closer shortly before his death. In it, the doctor speaks, in particular, about cooperation with the surgeon Patrick Bui, who, presumably, carried out plastic surgery of the first lady of France.
Bui, presented in the video as a doctor Brigitte Macron, a plastic surgeon in France, the head of the reconstructive, aesthetic and maxillofacial plastic surgery in the American hospital in Paris, a teacher and a forensic expert. At the same time, “verified” did not find confirmations in authoritative sources that Brigitte Macron turned to the services of this surgeon. This is not surprising, given that in France the disclosure of medical secrets is prohibited and entails penalties. If Bui told someone about his patient, whether it was the first lady or an ordinary citizen, and even more so showed medical documents, to him threatened A prison conclusion for up to a year and a fine of € 15,000. It is unlikely that a plastic surgeon with such a reputation would go to a similar step.
At the 24th second of the viral video, a photograph is shown, in which Patrick Bui is captured next to Brigitte Macron. In 2023 her Published On your Facebook page sister Surgeon, designer Barbara Bui. The photo was taken during the ceremony, during which Emmanuel Macron handed the designer the Order of the Legion of Honor. The event was attended by Patrick Bui with Brigitte Macron, but this does not prove their close connection. There were no other common photos of the surgeon and the French first lady in open sources.
If you find information about Patrick Bui, it is not difficult, then the situation is different with the main defendant in the viral publications of Francois Fevre. “Verified” found a surgeon in Paris with that name and surname. In the village near the French capital works doctor The general practice of Francois Fevre, but this is hardly the same person. The video says that February worked for six years in an American hospital in Paris with Patrick Bui. AFP agency Turned In this medical institution for comment, it received the answer that there are no records of this person in the hospital. Analysis of the portrait from a viral video using the Pimeyes person recognition service led to other pictures of the same person in a medical form, published In the photobank Istock without indicating the name in the signature. Simultaneously detector of AI Content Hive appreciated The probability that this portrait was created as extremely high. Apparently, the face with a stock photo became the basis of an image generated by a neural network.
In addition to this portrait, in the video there is also a fragment of the interview that Fevr allegedly gave to the French tabloid Closer. However, firstly, on the website of the publication of the mention of this person absentSecondly, the video contains signs of falsification. For the entire 40-second passage, Fevr never blinked, and his eyes move unnaturally. In addition, the surgeon and the interviewer talk monotonously and without hesitation. This may indicate that when creating the video, AI was used.
The plot also shows a short excerpt with an interview with Anna Dupon, which is presented as a sister of February. Although the woman’s voices are not heard, and the reverse search by the screenshot from the video did not give results, these personnel also contain signs of falsification. AFP factor draw attention to the fact that the size of the woman’s eyes in the video changes in the same way as in fake frames with an interview of February. This is a characteristic anomaly for rollers created with the help of neural networks.
At the same time, the first frames of the viral video, the report from the scene are real, but were first published long before the news about the death of February. Their He took off In Paris October 14, 2022, AFP operator.
Website, on which the video was originally published, also looks extremely suspicious. The section “About us” says that Enqueth du Jour is an independent French news agency covering current events in the country. At the same time, judging by the content on the site, it has been working only since March 2025 and during this time only a few dozen notes have released (the vast majority of them - in June and July, before that the site was empty). At the same time, by data Whois service, this site was registered on June 25, that is, just a week before the publication of an article about the alleged death of the surgeon.
Among the authors of Enqueth, five real French journalists are included, but there are no information about cooperation with this publication on their pages on social networks. Freenser journalist Audrey Parmantierwho allegedly wrote about the death of February, reported In X, that Enqueth du Jour is a fake news site and that she and her colleagues did not write anything for him. Also among the authors of this portal, journalists of the StreetPress publication are indicated, but it published statementin which this information is called false.
Fake news about the death of Francois February became a viral on July 1 - shortly after the appearance of a note and video on the site Enquête du Jour, users X drew attention to it. Some posts in French with a viral video Sicked More than 1 million views. The next day, similar publications appeared in the pro-Kremlin Telegram channels, the earliest of the discovered “verified” records- fast In the Channel "Kali South Today 2.0", posted on July 2 at 14:17 Moscow time. This source is not the first time It appears In the analysis of "verified" as a distributor of fake information.
The creation of fake news sites or the placement of falsified materials on existing but little -known resources is a common practice to legalize fakes. For example, according to a similar principle Created many News about expensive purchases allegedly made by the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and his closest relatives.
Thus, reports about the death of a surgeon preparing to tell about the transgender crossing Breezhit Macron are based on a note of a fake news site. The video contained in it is compiled from a video that has nothing to do with this story or completely generated AI. This fake was created and widespread within the framework of a long -existing conspiracy theory about the transgenderness of the French first lady. Corresponding statements were repeatedly refuted by Brigitte Macron and her husband, as well as independent media and the French court.
