French President Emmanuel Macron, and his wife Brigitte Macron, have filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens over the far-right influencer’s “relentless and unjustified smear campaign” falsely accusing Brigitte of being born a man.
The 219-page defamation complaint, filed in Delaware state court Wednesday, accuses Owens of proliferating “demonstrably false” claims across her platforms, including in an eight-part podcast and on social media, designed to feed a “frenzied fan base” in “pursuit of fame”.
