As you may recall, Candace Owens ran a series of podcasts earlier this year in which she claimed the First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron, was actually a trans woman. A couple weeks ago, the Macrons sued Owens in a US court, seeking damages for 22 separate counts of defamation. There's no dollar amount in the complaint but it's presumably going to run into six or seven figures.
For the record, Owens doesn't deny that there was a person named Brigitte Trogneux who was born a woman. Her story is that at some point, for unknown reasons, Brigitte disappeared and her identity was taken over by another person, her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux who then married Emmanuel Macron.
So now, according to Candace Owens, Brigitte Macron was born a woman, died, and with her dying wish passed on her identity to her brother.
There's no way anyone still believes this crap right?
Come on guys...

There are really two big problems with Owens's theory. First, Jean-Michel Trogneux is still around and has been seen at public events including Macron's inauguration. The other is that Brigitte was previously married and had three children with her first husband. Obviously a trans person can't have children so you have to somehow extend the conspiracy theory to the idea that the kids either aren't really Brigitte's children or that they know their real mom is dead and are pretending their uncle is their mother. It's pretty far out there.
And yet, Owens is still doubling down on this whole story. She appeared on Piers Morgan's show the other day and said she was willing to up a previous bet with Morgan to $300,000.

That's quite a lot of money but it's still probably only a fraction of what's on the line in the lawsuit itself. And that may be why Owens is now wondering aloud why the Trump administration is not speaking up and trying to defend her from the lawsuit.
"If you are Trump, the first thing you should have done if you purport to care about America and our Constitution...you would come out and you would say 'I don't even know whether I believe that she's a man or a woman'...but you should say 'I'm a leader of this country and it's unacceptable that this leader would threaten the First Amendment in anyway,'" Owens said. She added, "The job of the federal government is to defend us against foreign invaders and I would pretty much say Emmanuel Macron right now is being a foreign invader."
Candace Owens appears PANICKED as she calls the Macrons’ lawsuit a "FOREIGN INVASION," begging for Trump and J.D. Vance to intervene: "It's CRAZY that Trump has been silent on this matter."
She also claims the Macrons want to "impoverish her for speaking." Candace and her… pic.twitter.com/E3OIjGcIvI— Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV) (@TheMilkBarTV) August 7, 2025
She mentions that President Trump called and tried to warn her off this story. Here's what she told Tucker Carlson.
Owens said the initial request to stop talking about the French first lady came from someone “pretty high up” in the White House. She said she found the demand insulting and refused to comply.
Trump later phoned Owens directly about the issue, she told Carlson, saying that the president told her Macron had pulled him aside to ask if he knew Owens. Owens said she was shocked by the request and stated that Trump had been confused as to why he was being asked to intervene.
“Emmanuel Macron personally flew to D.C. and asked Trump to ask me to shut up, to just stop speaking about his wife,” she told Carlson.
That's evidence that Macron was unhappy about it but not evidence he's lying about his wife. If Owens is in fact spreading a lie about Brigitte Macron, as the lawsuit claims, then it's not surprising Emmanuel Macron would make efforts to get her to stop.
As for the "foreign invasion" claim, It probably goes without saying that defamation is a well-understood and widely acknowledged exception to free speech. Owens is being sued for allegedly making false and defamatory claims which, according to the complaint, she knew were false at the time.
As I said in my previous post, that's going to be a high bar for statements about a public figure like Brigitte Macron, but that doesn't mean some of the claims won't pass that bar. And if they do, that's not a foreign invasion or any kind of violation of US sovereignty, it's just the application of US defamation law to Candace Owens.

Nonsense. Trans politics is all about destroying the western culture. And the left will stop at nothing to destroy.
Matters not what is personal. This would be happening no matter what.
And all it does is make conservatives look silly to have these stupid dramas that attack Michelle Obama about her sexuality. When the issues are far more important.
Last I heard, the Macrons have ‘appealed the appeal’...
Candace is much more than just “a little crazy”!
George Farmer, Candace’s husband is AS nuts as she is, if not MORE so!
And ANYONE who believes what Candace is saying needs a vast amount of help, because they are far too damned gullible and STUPID to understand what she is doing and WHY.
I remember them on the threads at the time.
Yes, they have; I read that too. :-)
Yep. They always roll out an old hag or two to make sexual claims about an event that allegedly happened 30 years ago against a popular Republican candidate. That's all they have, and it's the easiest to use because you don't need evidence or witnesses to damage a person's reputation. And the media goes along with it all the time. Look how they pooh-poohed Monica Lewinsky's blue dress, and that actually existed.
“George Farmer, Candace’s husband is AS nuts as she is”
Isn’t he some level of Brit royalty? It seems that some of that group sympathized with the Nazis. If true, then her anti-Jew stance makes some sense.
She uses “impoverished” in some of her social media. She and Hubby are worth over $250Million. Wait for her to set up a GoFundMe.
Oh big whooop, so Macron has a book by Andre Gide! The man wrote something like 50 books and a LOT of them were repudiation of COMMUNISM, anti-Stalin & the USSR! His perverse sexual desires and antics does NOT diminish EVERYTHING else in his life!
And King Charles knowing Saville and enjoying his comedic talent...well so did MOST others, BEFORE it was known what kind of a pervert he was.
If you are going to tar and feather EVERYONE, from EVERY time period, by facts that came/come to light long AFTER other facts are known about them, the almost NOBODY can pass YOUR "purity test"!
And before you decide to tar me with your broad brush, I suggest that you refrain from doing so. I was never a fan of any of Gide's writing ( and yes, I was REQUIRED to read something of his, in French class ), never ever saw a Saville show ( I just know about him from the aftermath of his exposure ), BUT...I do love all of Oscar Wilde's work; even when I was old enough to learn about him and the Bosie affair.
YES however they use somewhat believable attacks
not fairy tale stupid stuff like accusing people of being a different sex.
As much as I like Candace, this is so far out in left field, I’d say she may be destroying herself. The worst we can say about Brigitte is that she’s a pedophile.
No birth certificate was provided, just an alleged birth announcement from a small town paper.
No photos of Brigette pregnant or with her children.
Zealous narrative control and litigation when the above evidence would end the controversy.
Something is fishy and Candace is asking questions. (Based on detailed investigations by French authors/reporters)
No, not royalty. Her father-in-law was made a member of the peerage, honorary not hereditary.
First of all, to be part of British Royalty, one MUST be Born or marry into the family of the King or Queen! And marrying into that family, does NOT make one Royal, though it sometimes DOES make the children from that union "ROYALS"...sometimes.
George Farmer father was made a Baron a little while ago, the family were NEVER Aristos prior to that and as NOT being the first born son of his father, Candace's husband will NOT inherit the title! Ergo, George and Candace aren't even Aristos!
Re The Windsors.......the ONLY Nazi lover, EVER, in the Royal family was the idiot David ( later King Edward VIII !) who resigned his kingship "to marry the woman I love"; thank GOD! He was just about as useless as old Harry Markle and as stupid.
Candace's husband is also sort of a weirdo. He proposed to her after only meeting her for a couple of days.
He converted to Catholicism before she did and then she followed suit. It must be some strange branch of it, or both of them are just nuts, for believing that ALL Jews and ALL Protestants are Satanic and worship the Devil and who also commit foul, disgusting, Satanic rituals as part of their religion.
And yes, she keeps telling her supporters that she is going to open a GO FUND ME site, to pay for her court costs.
Dang. Did she drink the same water and Kenye or what?
Do YOU have pictures of your mother, grandmother, aunts from log ago, when they were pregnant? I doubt it!
Secondly, the macrons DID send Candace old family photos, which Candace claims were NEVER sent! And then she used one of Jean-Michel and one of Brigette, halved to "PROVE" that they are one and the same person. But Brigitte and her older brother look VERY much alike, as do the daughters that Brigitte gave birth to!
No French "reporters" made these claims! One scuzzy man wrote a book, followed by TWO French women who are NOT "journalists", nor ?"reporters", who used the book and expanded on it with their own delusions and ALL lost their cases!
Anyone who is taking Candace's side of this, is a fool at best, and just a damned IMBECILE at worst.
Candace now LOVES and stands up for and WITH Kanye and Tate, but against Trump, ALL Jews and ALL Protestants! She is also PRO-HAMAS!
Good post, thx
