French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, on Wednesday sued right-wing provocateur podcaster Candace Owens for repeatedly falsely claiming that Brigitte Macron “is in fact a man.”
The Macrons’ 22-count civil lawsuit accusing Owens of defamation and false light alleges that Owens, since March 2024, has “used this false statement” about Brigitte Macron “to promote her independent platform, gain notoriety, and make money.”
