ā€˜SLAP-GATE Embarrassment continues for Macron |AI Images poking fun at President go up across France

French President Emmanuel Macron faces fresh embarrassment after an AI-generated image showing him bruisedā€”with the caption ā€œIs your wife beating you?ā€ā€”went viral. Shared by a gym promoting self-defence classes, the image mocks an earlier incident where Brigitte Macron appeared to shove him at an airport. The controversial ad has sparked outrage, with critics accusing it of trivializing domestic violence, while others defend it as satire. Macron dismissed the incident as harmless fun, calling the reaction overblown. #Macron #BrigitteMacron #FranceNews #AIImage #ViralAd #DomesticViolenceDebate #GymAdControversy #MacronMeme #PoliticalSatire #AIArtEthics #SocialMediaStorm #FrancePolitics #SelfDefenceAd #MacronBruised #AIControversy #BrigitteShove #MacronResponse #PublicOutrage #HumourOrHarm #MediaEthics #MacronSlap #AIImages #FrenchPresident #BrigitteMacronPush #TrendingInFrance #PoliticalEmbarrassment #DomesticViolenceAwareness #AdBacklash #MacronDownplays #MemeCulture Also Read Macron Dismisses ā€˜Slapgateā€™ Claims After Video With Wife Goes Viral: 'Has Become A Geo-Planetary Catastrophe' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/macron-dismisses-slapgate-claims-after-video-with-wife-goes-viral-has-become-a-geo-planetary-cat-4164789.html?ref=DMDesc French President Emmanuel Macron Declares Haiti's Independence Indemnity as Historic Injustice :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-president-haiti-independence-indemnity-injustice-011-4127059.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Clamps Down On Media As Istanbul Mayor Imamogluā€™s Jailing Sparks Decadeā€™s Biggest Protests :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-clamps-down-on-media-as-istanbul-mayor-imamoglu-s-jailing-sparks-decade-s-biggest-protests-4107483.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.336~GR.125~
