French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife delivered a scathing four-word remark just moments after shoving him in the face, a lip reader has revealed.
Shocking footage showed Brigitte Macron, 72, place both hands on her husband’s face before shoving him firmly just moments after the president’s plane door opened upon arrival in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, on Sunday evening.
While the embarrassed-looking leader claimed the pair were “squabbling,” a professional lip reader has since decoded the shocking exchange.
“As the aircraft door opens, President Macron is seen turning toward Brigitte. In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in the face,” a lip reader told The Express.
After the door opened and Macron noticed that the cameras were on him, he then said “Hi” before raising his hand.
“Emmanuel then steps closer to Brigitte before composing himself and crossing to the other side. Moments later, he signals for her to follow him with, ‘Let’s go,’” the lip reader said.
“He thanks the pilot and waves at the cameras, trying to recover the public-facing image.”
