French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, have filed a major defamation lawsuit in the United States against right-wing commentator Candace Owens. The suit alleges that Owens repeatedly and falsely claimed Brigitte Macron was born male, launching a 'campaign of global humiliation' for personal gain. The Macrons are seeking substantial damages, stating that Owens' statements have caused them significant harm and distress. Owens has responded by doubling down on her claims and framing the lawsuit as a public relations move. The case highlights the spread of gender-focused conspiracy theories and the legal risks of promoting such falsehoods online.
