Candace Owens Sued by French President Macron and First Lady Brigitte Over Defamation

High-profile lawsuit filed in Delaware over gender-based conspiracy claims

French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron have filed a defamation lawsuit against American commentator Candace Owens, accusing her of launching a "global campaign of humiliation" by falsely claiming that Brigitte was born male and transitioned.

219-page lawsuit outlines serious reputational damage

The lawsuit, filed in Delaware and led by top defamation law firm Clare Locke LLP, alleges over 22 counts of defamation and “false light” misrepresentation. The Macrons state that Owens fabricated and monetized these claims for attention and financial gain through her online platforms and merchandise.

Owens doubles down, calls legal action “proof” of her claims

Despite a detailed retraction letter sent months ago, Owens responded by releasing an eight-part series titled “Becoming Brigitte” and continues to promote her allegations. In a recent podcast, Owens said, “This lawsuit proves everything I said is true. I’m ready for court.”

Legal team presents strong evidence to dispute claims

The Macrons’ legal filing includes birth certificates, old photos, and public records proving Brigitte Macron's female identity since birth, as well as pointing out her previous marriage and children. The complaint also references Owens' history of promoting conspiracy theories and misinformation for personal branding.

Global political implications and media fallout

The case has drawn worldwide attention, with mentions on Joe Rogan’s podcast and viral debates across social media. The lawsuit claims Owens’ statements have damaged the couple’s political reputation and international relationships, asserting actual malice in her conduct.

As the legal battle unfolds, Owens remains defiant, framing the lawsuit as an attack on free speech. Meanwhile, the Macrons are determined to defend their reputation in what could become a landmark international defamation case.
