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.

That was loooooooooooooooooooooooong ago and she invited EVERYONE she could, praying that they’d come and make her look “important”.
What the heck,happened to Candace? It’s like she was abducted and replaced. ... Wait.... You don’t think ....
(Cue Twilight Zone music)
The anti-Protestant CRAP is brand new, but she’s been on an Anti-Israel/Bibi/ALL Jews for far longer. She is also a Holocaust denier and claims that Eli Wiesel was NEVER in a concentration camp, NEVER had a Nazi number tatooed on his arm, and the Joseph Mengele NEVER experimented and did terrible things to ANYONE!
They've been married for 18 years, long before he ever became President of France. Not that 29 and 54 is any less odd, but you trying to claim they just got married while he was President to try to justify Owens' nonsense is ridiculous.
Yeah. The Holocaust denialism is…
Well for starters it’s anti-Christ.
I understand that the context in which they met (school: teacher/student) is…odd-ish even if age of consent differs in France…but the age gap alone is not immoral/amoral or even un-Biblical. God never commands that the man has to be older.
First Lady Melania and the President have the same exact age gap. 25 years.
She has also claimed that pictures of a young Brigitte are REALLY photos of one of her daughters.
And in the next breath, claims that the Macrons NEVER, NOT EVER sent her ANY old photos and other info, which they did, PRIOR to their lawsuit.
She has tried, lately ( like a day or so ago ) tried to back track some, because HELL YES, a LOT of her previous INSANE claims and rants DO prove that she has done this with Malice, which you have to prove in a defamation case.
I wonder if Candace left Charlie Kirk and Turning Point on bad terms.
Charlie manages to remain steadfast and solid both in his principles and presentation.
And her father-in-law has PUBLICLY rebuked her and denied that HE agrees with what she says about the Jews. I suspect that he is also now going to ave to do the same thing re her claims about ALL Protestants, of which he IS one and so are the rest of his family members, except the son who is married to Candace.
The thing is, she also broke with Ben Shapiro and many other Jews, who helped her get known in the beginning.
She also started a BIG fight against Megyn Kelly and the other day and then...oppppsie, backtracked as fast as she could and deleted that comment!
It started before that with her comments about Jews and Israel.
He should have already been humiliated to the point of never seeking political office after marrying his teacher. They started dating when he was 15. She was 40.
But she wasn't 15 when she started dating him.
My mother was 16 and my father 32 when they married. They married in 1936. My grandmother gave her consent because she knew my father would take care of her only daughter. Their first child wasn't born until 4 years later. There were four of us over 7 years. I was the last in 1947. I'm 78 today, and have been the last and oldest surviving member since 2013 when my oldest sister died.
Indeed. Regarding Candace Owens’ father in law:
“Farmer, made a life peer in the House of Lords in 2014, was appointed Christian vice chair of the Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ) in 2016.
Thank you for sharing!!
Don’t think the Macrons’ age gap, nor their courtship (regardless of how bizarre on the surface) is any of our business at this point BUT fine, speculate and critique all you want! That’s not the same as claiming she’s a man, which is…quite the illogical leap.
I have NO idea WHY she went completely INSANE, but she did! And she's like dear old SPARKLES MARKLE, only WORSE now.
Candace has now begun to say: “it is my opinion”/”my belief”, there’s a possibility that....and people are now guess that her lawyer/s have told her to do that, so that she won’t lose the defamation case. BUT...the MALICIOUS LIES are still out there, and they PROVE, beyond a shadow of any doubt, that she did, INDEED, defame Brigitte macron and many other members of her family; especially the one only last week, where Candace screeches at the top of her voice:”YOU WERE BORN A MAN AND SHALL DIE A MAN!”.
Owens jumped the shark years ago.
“I really don’t understand what has possessed Candice to do this,”
She, Carlson, Stew Peters, Jake Shields, they’re all psycho nazis.
From a purely clinical view: I can kind of see how Candace took out her ouster from Daily Wire as cue to go into the deep end with the anti-Semitic bandwagon and spiral off a cliff with that…but WHAT exactly made her hate the Macrons so much? I find them perfectly…neutral, if not likable. And even by political standards, they could be way worse.
Macron made Donald Trump the guest of honor at the re-opening of Notre Dame Cathedral. He has always been so classy with gestures like that.
