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 spread false and transphobic rumors claiming Brigitte Macron was born male, using these claims to boost her podcast and online following. The Macrons argue that these statements amount to a 'campaign of global humiliation' and relentless bullying, causing them significant personal and reputational harm. The lawsuit seeks damages and a retraction, highlighting the international implications of online misinformation and defamation. This legal action underscores the growing tension between public figures and online influencers who spread conspiracy theories for personal gain.
