French president Emmanuel Macron has claimed the lawsuit he and his wife have filed against right-wing American influencer Candace Owens was put forward to 'defend his honour.'
Since last year, 36-year-old Owens has espoused a crackpot theory to her four million YouTube subscribers that Macron's 72-year-old wife Brigitte was born a man.
Owens launched a podcast series called Becoming Brigitte, in which she delves into the conspiracy. She claims that Brigitte was born under the name 'Jean-Michel Trogneux.'
Her actions led Macron and his wife to file a lawsuit in the US against Owens in July, claiming that they had 'suffered substantial reputational damage' and spent 'considerable sums of money to correct the public record.'
Macron told Paris Match that while he was warned that taking legal action against Owens may result in the '"Streisand effect", drawing even more attention to these lies... It grew so big in the United States that we had to respond.
'It is a matter of upholding the truth. It’s about defending my honour. Because this is nonsense.'
He also hit out at the Trump administration, dismissing arguments that his lawsuits was an impingement on free speech.
Referring to the Trump administration's decision to ban some mainstream outlets, he said: 'It is not freedom of speech to want to prevent the truth from being restored. Those who talk about this supposed freedom of speech are the people who ban journalists from the Oval Office. I don’t accept that.'
Instead, he claims, Owens 'knew very well that she was using false news to cause damage, in the service of an ideology and with established connections with the far Right.'

Indeed.
Unfortunately.
At all.
The Westboro people were a 1A lawsuit scam led by an attorney, not really a church.
True.
Do try to follow along... the point I made was, “whether we like someone’s state,ends or not, the courts have ruled that they have a right to say them” (with some minor restrictions)
NOWHERE did i say she was as bad as westoborrow, nor that she would “fit right in” per your false accusation.
I never indicated that I approve or disapprove of her comments. However, I DID show that i disapprove of what westobro did, but acknowledge the courts have ruled in their favor to do so. Which gives EVERYONE the same right to speak their minds by and large. Saying that does NOT mean i equate everyone who speaks their minds with westoboro.
Understand?
That’s because Discovery is a b!tch.
Can’t be the only one who detests this word anymore, “influencer.” Every one of this board is an influencer, or a crying baby influencer, or someone who cuts down trees is a forest influencer. Like “bombshell” it has become a personal rule that I always quit reading no matter what the topic when reading that word.
Sorry influencer Dennis,
FReegards, influencer quantim
;-)
Yep, i know. They were a despicable group of haters, fslsely hiding behind the banner of religion, hoping to tarnish religion as well as those they maligned publicly. Fred Phelps I think his name was? God will not deal kindly with him and his ilk unless they get right with him.
Insinuation is an amazing thing, isn't it.
You don't have to "say" anything directly.
...per your false accusation.
Asking a question is a false accusation?
Never liked Owens. Trump and Melania both use defamation lawsuits, so I don’t understand why Macron is taking a shot at Trump.
Since she became a mom, Candace Owens has gone insane. Hormones must have adjusted or something. Don’t see her anymore on TV.
“Just have her take a DNA test at a neutral medical center location and make the results visible to all.”
Wow... SMH... that there is totalitarian given the source of aggitation. Candy needs to suffer litigation or shut her pie hole. But... Candy might be right and a lawsuit might force the indignity.
Would you like a forced whiz quiz or DNA test to prive your sex publicly?
A quick finger wave perhaps in front of witnesses perhaps?
Given the Trump and other wins in similar defamation law suits, Candace is probably in trouble.
Macron crossed the Atlantic to bring suit in an American court.
However, her defense can demand the old ugly wife present visual evidence on view to the jury that she is an unaltered shein the
Have you watched her entire “Becoming Brigitte” series?
I thought not. I HAVE!
Just wait for discovery (if there ever is any)
That’s a MAN baby.
Owens is not the only one saying so. Several reporters have done articles on the subject, at least one wrote a book.
Macron is gay just like Obama and they both have tranny wives.
Pregnancies/Children can be faked. Surrogates etc.
Money and power can accomplish ANYTHING! 2020 election, Jan 6, Obama birth certificate.
The hubris of these people has no bounds.
“The concept “the bigger the lie” suggests that a large, audacious falsehood is more likely to be believed than a small one, especially if repeated frequently. This idea is often associated with propaganda and manipulative tactics. The theory posits that people are more susceptible to believing a grand, unbelievable claim, particularly if they lack access to counter-information or critical analysis. “
There is always this……..Years ago, our friends third child was born with several birth defects, including both male and female sexual organs. They had to make a choice which sex the baby would be, requiring significant surgery. They decided female, although she would never be able to have children. She was a great little kid, popular, excelled in school and became a school teacher.
In the same line of questioning...would you offer a DNA test to put such questions to rest and resolve any controversy?
Time for discovery, drop em’!
Instead, the Macrons have chosen the dog and pony show.
It makes one wonder what is really going on in this case.
JMO, YMMV
The proof is in the pudding!
