Conspiracy-spewing podcaster Candace Owens was slapped with a defamation lawsuit Wednesday by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, for claiming that the first lady was born a male who groomed her allegedly gay husband.
The Paris power couple accused Owens of pushing a conspiracy theory that Mrs. Macron “was born a man, stole another person’s identity, and transitioned to become Brigitte,” according to the 200-page complaint filed in Delaware.
Owens’ claims are similar to those made in France by two women whom Brigitte Macron sued in 2021. That case was initially ruled in the French first lady’s favor but has been overturned on appeal. She has now taken the case to France’s highest appeals court.
