Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron File New Defamation Lawsuit Against Candace Owens
French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron have filed a new defamation lawsuit against US conservative podcaster Candace Owens in Tennessee. This follows a Delaware court limiting jurisdiction in their earlier July 2025 case, which accused Owens of spreading false claims that Brigitte Macron is transgender and that Emmanuel Macron was involved in a cover-up. The new complaint alleges Owens continued to spread defamatory statements via her podcast, social media, and merchandise despite evidence disproving them.
