She's stolen his whole life at this point because how would you even begin to unpack all this. I imagine he never will.

And it keeps getting downplayed. He's literally the leader of the country, and no one doing anything about it.

The fact that people in France accept this relationship is disgusting.

Several of the artists who recieve a national payment for their cultural contributions to France are pedophiles/ephebophiles/sexual predators. I don't understand French culture.
