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."Â
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.Â
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.
Oh yes, Tucker, Candace’s newest BFF is also a big fat LIAR, anti-Semite, POS!
The Macron's lawyer has validated the FACT that they sent Candace photos and other bumph, which she has even used in her videos, but which she adamantly swear that they did NOT send to her.
Her absolutely bizarre, delusional,claptrap re the Macrons and especially about Brigitte, are so insane, that they can NOT be taken as "fact" by anyone who has more than 3 working brain cells! To what am I referring to? Oh, the likes of her statements that Brigitte is REALLY Emmanuel's father, no...his mother, they are committing "incest" by being married, and that ALL Jews and ALL Protestants, all over the entire world are SATANIC and worship the Devil. There's a lot more such garbage, that she has spewed, which are NOT factual, no matter what her supporters and fans believe!
I don’t recall EVER posting that that is “normal”, just what French law says.
Go ask AI what percent Jews favored Zionism before and after WW2. My guess is 50% before WW2. Much higher percent afterwards/
You know that Israel’s founding was quite socialist with kibbutz’s etc.
How many Jews were driven from Arab nations after the 1948 war?
You could be right, but I tend to think being a leftist plant and low intelligence go hand in hand.
She’s not deep, that’s for sure.
My sister says that people are acting strange since they took the vaccine. Maybe Candace Owens took it and a few boosters?
Macrons wife is a pedophile. She was 42 and he was 15 when they met and she was his school teacher. Candace Owens should talk about that and not something as stupid that she is a man.
Are you capable of having an inner dialogue with yourself? What world exists in which Owens is correct about this? Think about it.
OK, If recent years have taught us anything, is that in politics, things considered improbable or a complete lie turn out to be true. Turns out the CIA and the generals did kill JFK. The CIA was smuggling cocaine into Mena Arkansas. Bill Clinton went to Epstein island to rape underage girls 30 some odd times. So did Bill Gates. Bill Barr did conspire with the Democrats to frame and prosecute Trump with RICO charges. Covid was created in Chapel Hill and produced in Wuhan China and didn’t come from bat soup. The CIA was collecting all of our communications illegally despite clappers public denial to Congress. The FBI despite their denials, had a office in Twitter headquarters and called the shots. Same at Facebook.
Obama did turn out to be a foreign born homosexual. Dennis Hastert was a closet homosexual who molested boys. Jimmy Saville and king Charles were the best of friends… While jimmy Saville was molesting every boy he could get his hands on.
So yes, I believe Macron is a homosexual, married to a tranny. Candace is extremely intelligent, and sharp witted. She has a very analytical mind and presents a very compelling case. Nobody has made the slightest effort to refute it. Time to ask yourself….. how you know, what you think you know.
Almost everything our government tells us has turned out to be a lie. I think Candace figured it out, and she’s simply not “sophisticated” enough to keep quiet about it.
