France’s Macron sues U.S. media personality for claiming his wife is a man
Global NewsWednesday, July 23, 2025 at 7:54:51 PM
French President Emmanuel Macron is taking legal action against U.S. commentator Candace Owens over her repeated claims—which Macron’s camp calls "far-fetched fictions"—that his wife, Brigitte Macron, was born male, stole someone’s identity, and transitioned. The lawsuit underscores Macron’s aggressive stance against what he views as damaging misinformation.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just tabloid gossip—it’s a high-profile clash between a world leader and a polarizing media figure, testing how far public figures will go to push back against conspiracy theories. Macron’s lawsuit signals a growing intolerance for baseless claims that blur the line between political mudslinging and personal defamation, especially when they target family members. For Owens, it’s another volley in her brand of incendiary rhetoric, but this time with legal consequences.
