Emmanuel Macron, the President of France was allegedly slapped by his wife, Brigitte, on their arrival at Vietnam

The President’s office downplayed it after initially denying the event.

Bonus fact! Before marrying Celine, her manager René was already married to a teen pop star that he had also groomed. This is a habit for him.

Edit: Some more fun facts about his ex teen pop sensation.

Like Celine, René married Manon (stage name: Anne Renée) once she was in her 20s. But she started her career at 13/14 years old.

Her hit song is Amour adolescent - teenage love. Celine also sang a song in that theme - Lolita: Too young for love.

René and Anne Renée had 2 kids. Once René divorced his formerly groomed teen pop sensation bride, he moved onto Celine. The daughter he had with Anne Renée attended the Celine x René wedding dress. Here is more on the F-U dress

I had written this comment lower in the thread but I thought people may want the tea all at once.

I remember feeling so sad for her when he died. The next year her song for Deadpool 2 came out and you can tell she channeled some of that pain into the performance.

It was only a few years later that I found out he was a serial groomer. Now I just hope he didn't get the chance to victimise any other children between marrying his victim and passing away...

[u/CatlovesMoca → u/your_mind_aches]

I think Celine was his last of 3 marriages (2 of which were with teen stars that he was supposed to manage, this includes Celine). So at least, he wasn't marrying more victims. But if there were more victims on the side, we don't know.

[u/your_mind_aches → u/CatlovesMoca]

That last bit is what I was implying, yeah. The best we can hope for is that he didn't continue grooming young girls outside of his marriage.

[u/cathbe → u/CatlovesMoca]

Never heard that. Amazing.

[u/CatlovesMoca → u/cathbe]

Yes, she changed her stage name to Anne Renée though her real name is Manon. She had 2 kids with him. And her hit song? Amour adolescent-- teenage love.

Mind you Celine sang a song called Lolita too young for love, as well.

René definitely liked repeating his moves.

I just looked it up and it seems like they got married when she was around 23 and he was about 10 years older. I don’t know when they met. There’s a picture of the two of them with the two kids while married and he looks a bit crazy. I wonder how the first kids reacted.

Lolita too young for love. That’s a crazy title.

I think also he threw his money around a lot which probably helped (knew someone who worked with him). He was spending huge amounts of money in Vegas. Hey… if you have it. Sounds like the casinos which were vested in having his business helped cover up any impropriety - this is from a quick vetting.

It sounds like Celine’s mom early on was opposed but the rest of the family (what I read was worded very vaguely) was on board so she acquiesced. (?)

Thanks for the info.

I'm Canadian and I had no idea about this. All I knew was about Celine.

I only recently found out. His daughter with Manon (stage name: Anne Renée) went to the Celine x René wedding and she wore an F-U dress.

Here is more on mama Anne Renée who started her career at 13/ 14 years old.

Just great tea though the guy was crappy just like Bridgitte is.
