Read the French President's Lawsuit
Briefly

Candace Owens, a right-wing podcaster, falsely claimed that Brigitte Macron is a man, ignoring credible evidence. She monetized these statements while mocking the Macrons' attempts to correct the record. Additionally, after being asked to retract her statements, Owens launched an eight-part podcast series spreading further false claims. These included allegations about the Macrons' identity, criminal activities, and connections to conspiracy theories. The complaints contend that Owens knowingly propagated these defamatory lies to enhance her platform and appeal to her audience.
Candace Owens stated she would stake her entire professional reputation on the false claim that Brigitte Macron is a man, disregarding credible evidence disproving her.
Owens retaliated against the Macrons after receiving a retraction demand, launching a podcast series that repeated verifiably false and damaging lies about them.
In her claims, Owens alleged that Mrs. Macron stole another person's identity, was involved in incest, and that both Macrons participated in various criminal activities.
These false allegations demonstrate a pattern of defamation and exploitation of the Macrons for personal gain and popularity within her fan base.
