French President Emmanuel Macron's wife Brigitte Macron defended using a sexist slur for feminist activists who disrupted a rape-accused French actor's stand-up show, which she was attending herself. In a viral video, Brigitte was heard calling activists "stupid b*****s". Brigitte said she made the "clumsy" remark in a private capacity and didn't realise she was being filmed.
