Golshifteh Farahani is the Iranian-born actress suddenly at the center of one of the strangest political gossip storms in France after a new book alleged that messages exchanged with President Emmanuel Macron may have contributed to the infamous viral moment in which First Lady Brigitte Macron appeared to shove or slap him aboard a presidential plane.
The claims, published this week in the French political book 'Un Couple (Presque) Parfait' by journalist Florian Tardif, have not been independently verified, and both Farahani and Macron's entourage have denied rumors of any affair.
