First Lady's Words Cause Big Talk

France's First Lady, Brigitte Macron, said something that made many people talk. It made talks about sexual violence stronger.

A video showed Mrs. Macron using a bad word for protesters. They stopped a comedy show in Paris. She said their way was "radical." This made some people angry.

The protesters were from a group called "Nous Toutes." They wore masks. They wanted to protest what they called "impunity." This means people accused of bad things are not punished.

Mrs. Macron spoke to the comedian backstage. She did not know she was filmed. She said, "If there are any stupid bitches, we’ll kick them out."

The video came out on Monday. Many people were upset. Her team said she did not like the protesters' "radical method." They said it stopped art.

This did not calm people. Many people helped the protesters. The bad word is now on social media. Many famous people support the protesters.

This event shows big disagreements. It shows different ideas about sexual violence. It also makes us think about words used by important people. The talk will continue in France.
