Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron have accused the US conservative podcaster of spreading “lies” about the first lady’s gender
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have filed a new lawsuit against Candace Owens, accusing the American podcaster of profiting off of “outlandish” and “far-fetched fictions” that Brigitte is actually a man.
The 409-page defamation lawsuit was filed in Owens’ home state of Tennessee last week, and picked up by the American media on Monday. In it, the presidential couple accuse Owens of using her podcast “to expand her lies about the Macrons, sell merchandise making fun of the Macrons, and collect donations based on her ‘reporting’ on the Macrons,” including “outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions” surrounding Brigitte Macron’s “gender identity, gender, and sexuality.”
The suit expands on a case filed by the Macrons against Owens’ company in the state of Delaware last July.
Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron’s relationship has been the subject of gossip and scrutiny for years, largely owing to the fact that Brigitte is 24 years Emmanuel’s senior, and the pair met while Emmanuel was 15 years old and a student of his future wife.
