Check out what CNN reported:

French President Emmanuel Macron has dismissed a viral video showing his wife Brigitte pushing his face away as they disembarked from a plane in Vietnam for the first leg of a Southeast Asia tour.

Speaking to reporters in Hanoi on Monday, Macron addressed the clip directly, pushing back against the speculation it sparked.

“There’s a video showing me joking and teasing my wife and somehow that becomes a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe, with people even coming up with theories to explain it,” the president said.

Macron acknowledged the footage was genuine but criticized how it had been weaponized. “The videos are all real, and yes, sometimes people tamper with them, but people are attributing all kinds of nonsense to them.”

The short clip shows the aircraft door opening with Macron appearing in the doorway. Seconds later, both of Brigitte Macron’s hands reach out from the side and press against the president’s face in what looks like a sudden shove.

Macron appears momentarily surprised but quickly regains his composure and waves to the press outside.

As the couple descend the steps, Macron offers Brigitte his arm, which she does not take, opting instead to hold the railing.

Per The New York Post:

French President Emmanuel Macron‘s wife shoved him in the face as they touched down in Vietnam for a state visit — which the embarrassed-looking leader admitted Monday came while they were “squabbling.”

Shocking footage of the incident shows the president’s plane door opening to reveal Macron at the entrance in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, on Sunday evening.

Suddenly, his wife Brigitte’s arms emerge from the left of the open doorway as she places both hands on her husband’s face and shoves him firmly.

Macron appears startled — but quickly recovers when realizing he is in view, and turns to smile and wave through the open door.

The French first lady remains concealed inside the aircraft, making it impossible to see her facial expression or body language.
