Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Emmanuel And Brigitte Macron File New Defamation Lawsuit Against Candace Owens
Caption: Emmanuel And Brigitte Macron File New Defamation Lawsuit Against Candace Owens. French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have filed a new defamation lawsuit against US podcaster Candace Owens over false claims about the French first lady's identity. The lawsuit, filed in Tennessee on 4 November, includes 88 allegations of defamation and related claims against Owens personally. The Macrons previously sued Owens and her media companies in Delaware in July 2025 over claims that Brigitte was born male and had concealed her identity. A judge limited the Delaware case to Owens' companies, ruling that the court lacked jurisdiction over her personally, while the original proceedings remain ongoing. The new complaint alleges Owens continued spreading defamatory accusations through her eight-part podcast series Becoming Brigitte and social media posts. The couple's lawyers also accused Owens of profiting from the allegations through merchandise sales and donations, including a doll mocking Brigitte's appearance. The Macrons claimed they had suffered worldwide humiliation and harassment, seeking financial damages and a court order preventing further defamatory statements. Owens acknowledged the new lawsuit on social media, mocking the complaints about her doll while continuing to defend her controversial coverage.
