Folies Bergère theatre

The Folies Bergère is a cabaret music hall located in Paris, France, historically known for its elaborate stage productions and performances. Recently, the theatre has become newsworthy due to an incident involving Brigitte Macron, the French First Lady. Following a performance at the Folies Bergère, Macron was filmed using a derogatory and sexist slur, specifically calling feminist protesters "stupid bitches." This incident has sparked outrage and criticism from French celebrities, politicians on the left, and women's rights groups. Over 300 women have filed a legal complaint against Macron for public insult. The incident has drawn attention to the intersection of politics, celebrity culture, and feminist activism in France, highlighting ongoing debates about sexism and freedom of expression.
