French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, have filed a 22-count 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, spreading these rumors across her platforms as part of a 'campaign of global humiliation' for personal gain. The Macrons' legal team says they have repeatedly asked Owens to retract her statements, but she has instead doubled down and mocked the couple. The lawsuit seeks substantial damages and aims to stop the spread of what the Macrons call 'verifiably false and devastating lies.' This high-profile case highlights the growing international impact of online conspiracy theories and the willingness of public figures to fight back through legal channels.
