Macron Sues Candace Owens Over Shocking Gender Claims About First Lady
So here's something wild that's been all over the headlines—French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, are taking serious legal action in the U.S. They’ve filed a defamation lawsuit against none other than American right-wing commentator Candace Owens. The reason? Owens has made some outrageous and unsubstantiated claims on her podcast and social media, insisting that Brigitte Macron was born a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux—who is, in reality, Brigitte’s older brother.
According to the Macrons' legal complaint, Owens launched what they describe as a deliberate, lie-filled “campaign of global humiliation.” They argue that her statements weren’t just misinformed or speculative—they were damaging, defamatory, and purposefully crafted to attract attention by inflaming conspiracy-minded audiences. And it didn’t stop at the gender claim. Owens went further, alleging that the Macrons are blood relatives involved in incest, and that Emmanuel Macron himself was “groomed” from a young age and selected by a secret CIA mind control program.

Let that sink in.
The French first couple claims these accusations have caused them significant harm—both personally and publicly. They're demanding a jury trial and seeking unspecified financial damages, likely aimed at holding Owens accountable for what they describe as years of calculated character assassination. Brigitte Macron has been subjected to these rumors for years, and they’ve resurfaced aggressively, especially on far-right platforms and conspiracy-heavy podcasts.
Owens, for her part, hasn’t backed down. She even doubled down after news of the lawsuit broke, posting a photo of the Macrons on Instagram with the caption, “I will be coming for this wig today. Stay tuned.” In other words, she’s treating a major international defamation case like social media banter.
Now, this isn’t just another celebrity feud. This is a rare instance of a sitting world leader and their spouse suing a high-profile American media figure in U.S. courts. It raises questions not only about the reach and responsibility of influencers, but also about how disinformation and conspiracies can cause real-world harm—especially when they’re weaponized for clicks, views, or political gain.
Whether or not the Macrons win the lawsuit, the case is likely to spark major debates about journalistic ethics, free speech, and the line between commentary and defamation. One thing’s clear though—this story is far from over.
