Macron Couple Files Defamation Lawsuit Against Candace Owens

French President and his husband challenge claims regarding Brigitte Macron's gender identity

25 July 2025 · 05:35 UTC

French President Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, have launched a defamation lawsuit against political commentator Candace Owens.

The lawsuit arises from Owens' repeated assertions that Brigitte Macron is a man, a claim the couple describes as a baseless smear campaign.

In response to the legal action, Owens stated, "You were born a man and you’ll die a man… See you in court."

The case comes amidst ongoing discussions regarding the boundaries of political discourse and personal attacks in the realm of social media and public life.

The Macrons have expressed their commitment to addressing false information and protecting their image.
