The French president, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife, Brigitte Macron, are suing the rightwing commentator Candace Owens for defamation.

In a suit filed on Wednesday in Delaware against Owens and her businesses, the Macrons say Owens has engaged in ongoing defamatory attacks against them in order to elevate her media platform, gain more audience and make money.


Owens said in early 2024 that she would “stake [her] entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man”. Since then, she has doubled down on these claims and added more, including in an eight-part podcast series called Becoming Brigitte, the lawsuit alleges.

The Macrons sought retractions from Owens, the suit says, for the “demonstrably false” claims she has made about them but she instead “mocked them and used them as additional fodder for her frenzied fan base”.

Just looked it up and this lady sued people before for claiming she was a man back in 2022. Technically the defendants were found guilty but the conviction was overturned

Given that C00ndace is running with the same conspiracy theory, there’s a decent chance of her not getting convicted for defamation

Good. The idea that public figures should just silently accept defamation to avoid "the Streisand effect" is defeatist nonsense. It gives free rein to bad actors to say whatever they want without consequences, as long as they say it loudly enough.

And Owens didn't just speculate, she built an entire media campaign around a baseless and hateful claim, monetized it, and refused to stop after being asked. That kind of targeted defamation for profit needs to be challenged. I mean, if this isn't the line, then there is no line.

I'm glad she's finally facing consequences for trafficking in conspiracy. She courted this attention and now she's getting it. I hope she gets destroyed.

Doesn’t matter those legal fees are going to bleed her
