The Macron’s have filed a lawsuit against Candace Owens for her coverage of an eight-part series titled “Becoming Brigitte.” In the series, Owens alleged that Brigitte Macron had stolen someone else’s identity and transitioned to a woman. Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron have filed a 22-count complaint seeking damages from Owens, stating that the claims made by Owens are false and that she knew they were false when she published them. The Macrons claim that Owens refused to comply with three separate retraction requests sent by their lawyer from December 2024 to July 1. They decided to take legal action after the final retraction request, as Owens continued to promote defamatory and far-fetched fictions about them.
In a statement, the Macrons expressed their disappointment in Owens’ actions, stating that her campaign of defamation was designed to harass and cause pain to them and their families in pursuit of attention and notoriety. Despite giving Owens multiple opportunities to retract her claims, she refused, leading the Macrons to file the lawsuit in hopes of setting the record straight and putting an end to the defamation campaign.
The lawsuit highlights the seriousness of spreading false information and the impact it can have on individuals and their families. It serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information before sharing it publicly. As the legal battle unfolds, it will be interesting to see how Owens responds to the allegations and how the court will ultimately decide on the matter.
