flag Macron sues Owens over false claims that his wife is transgender and involved in conspiracies.

flag French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron have expanded their defamation lawsuit against U.S. podcaster Candace Owens, accusing her of persistently spreading false claims that Brigitte is transgender and involved in discredited conspiracies, including the Stanford Prison Experiment and CIA mind control programs. flag The Macrons allege Owens knowingly amplified these falsehoods through her podcast, merchandise, and donation campaigns to gain fame and profit, despite prior legal action. flag Their legal team argues the claims are demonstrably false and part of a broader pattern targeting prominent women, and they are preparing to present medical and photographic evidence to prove Brigitte’s gender. flag Owens has dismissed the suit as "libel tourism," seeking to move it to Delaware or Tennessee, while vowing to continue her campaign, including calling for invasive medical scrutiny of Brigitte. flag The case, set for a U.S. court hearing, faces high legal hurdles, as public figures must prove both falsity and actual malice to win a defamation claim in the U.S.
