French President And Wife Sue Candace Owens, Accusing Her Of Defamation

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, filed a defamation lawsuit in the United States against podcaster Candace Owens Wednesday over the claim that Brigitte could be a man.

The lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court alleges Owens has broadcast “a relentless year-long campaign of defamation against the Macrons” according to a statement from Tom Clare, the Macrons’ lawyer.

The conservative commentator Candace Owens revived an absurd conspiracy theory with a YouTube video titled “Is France’s First Lady a Man?” according to the complaint.

Since then, Owens has produced numerous videos about Brigitte Macron for over her 4 million YouTube subscribers, including a multi-part series called “Becoming Brigitte.”
